Services
Dental Care
Our dental care services prevent and treat periodontal disease through professional cleanings, extractions, and client education. We address issues like tartar buildup, gum disease, and oral pain using modern techniques. Early intervention helps avoid systemic health risks, ensuring pets maintain oral hygiene crucial for their overall well-being.
Digital Radiography
Digital radiography provides immediate, high-resolution images for diagnosing fractures, organ abnormalities, and internal obstructions. Enhanced imaging reduces retakes, speeds up treatment, and allows specialist consultations via emailed images. This technology improves diagnostic accuracy and emergency response efficiency.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy accelerates healing for wounds, fractures, and post-surgical recovery while managing chronic pain like arthritis. This non-invasive treatment stimulates cellular repair without medication, offering pets a drug-free solution for improved mobility and faster recovery times.
Reproductive Services
We offer comprehensive reproductive care including semen analysis, artificial insemination, pregnancy monitoring, and neonatal support for breeders. Our services ensure the health of breeding animals and their offspring through pre-breeding evaluations and specialized delivery assistance.
Surgery
From routine spays/neuters to complex procedures, our surgical services include pre-op bloodwork, anesthesia, and pain management. We perform sterilizations, soft tissue surgeries, and emergency interventions using advanced equipment to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.

Questions
How often should my pet have an exam and blood work?
Annual check-ups are recommended, with more frequent visits for seniors or sick pets. Pre-surgical bloodwork ensures safety, and yearly tests help detect diseases early.
Why does my pet need dental procedures?
Untreated dental disease causes pain and organ damage. We recommend early cleanings to prevent decay and systemic infections, ensuring long-term health.
How can I prevent heartworms in my pet?
Monthly preventatives are available at our clinic. Heartworms are mosquito-borne and prevalent in Mississippi, making prevention critical for dogs and cats.
Do you handle emergency cases after hours?
Yes, contact Animal Emergency and Referral Center at (601) 939-8999 for after-hours emergencies. We provide critical care referrals to ensure continuous treatment.
