Emergency care
Our 24/7 emergency veterinary services address urgent medical needs at any hour. Through the Amador Veterinary Emergency Clinic, we handle trauma, poisoning, breathing difficulties, and other critical conditions using advanced diagnostics and treatment protocols. With immediate access to surgical facilities and in-house lab work, we stabilize patients quickly for optimal outcomes.
Vaccinations
We provide comprehensive vaccination programs for puppies, kittens, and adult pets. Following AAHA guidelines, our core and non-core vaccines protect against distemper, parvovirus, rabies, bordetella, and other infectious diseases. Our veterinarians tailor vaccination schedules to each pet's lifestyle and risk factors while ensuring compliance with local regulations.
Dental care
Our dental services include comprehensive oral exams, professional cleanings, and surgical extractions when needed. Using modern anesthetic protocols and digital dental X-rays, we diagnose and treat periodontal disease, tooth fractures, and other oral conditions to prevent systemic health issues and maintain comfort for your pet.
Radiology services
Digital radiography and ultrasound enable rapid, accurate diagnosis of internal conditions. These tools help us identify foreign bodies, fractures, tumors, and organ abnormalities with minimal radiation exposure. Immediate image availability supports quick decision-making for both emergency and scheduled patients requiring advanced diagnostics.
Preventative care
Annual wellness exams and preventative treatments form the foundation of lifelong pet health. Our comprehensive checkups include parasite screening, vaccination updates, nutritional counseling, and early detection of potential issues through physical exams and lab work. Customized care plans ensure optimal health maintenance tailored to each pet's life stage and breed-specific needs.
