Services
Pet Exams
Our comprehensive pet exams ensure your dog or cat maintains optimal health. We conduct physical evaluations, run lab tests, administer vaccinations, and provide parasite prevention. These visits help build a complete medical history for your pet, enabling early detection of potential issues. Our team also offers nutrition advice and behavioral assessments during these appointments, ensuring your pet receives personalized care tailored to their specific needs.
Vaccinations
We provide core and lifestyle-based vaccinations to protect pets from preventable diseases. Our customized vaccine schedules consider each animal's age, health status, and exposure risks. We follow strict safety protocols and monitor for potential reactions. Our vaccines include rabies, DHPP for dogs, FVRCP for cats, and optional ones like bordetella for pets in high-contact environments. This protects both animal and human health in Belen, NM.
Dental Care
Our dental services include professional teeth cleanings under anesthesia to remove plaque and tartar buildup. We use dental X-rays to assess tooth roots and jaw bone health. Our team performs extractions when necessary and provides post-operative pain management. Regular cleanings prevent periodontal disease, which can lead to systemic infections. We also recommend home care products to maintain oral health between professional visits.
Surgery
We perform spay/neuter surgeries and other essential procedures using modern techniques. Our surgical services include pre-anesthetic blood work, anesthesia monitoring, and post-operative care. We treat conditions like pyometra in females and prostate issues in males. Our team follows strict protocols for pain management and recovery. These procedures improve pet health while addressing population control concerns in the local community.
Emergency Care
Our 24/7 emergency services address critical pet health issues outside regular hours. We handle trauma, poisoning, breathing difficulties, and other life-threatening conditions. Our facility maintains emergency equipment and medications for immediate treatment. The team provides stabilization followed by comprehensive care planning. This service ensures pets in Belen receive timely medical attention during crises, potentially saving lives.
