Services
Veterinary Services
Hillview Veterinary Clinic delivers comprehensive medical, surgical, and dental care for companion animals. Our services include diagnostics through in-house labs and external specialists, modern surgical procedures under safe anesthesia, and advanced imaging like digital radiography. We prioritize preventive medicine through bi-annual checkups and age-specific screening programs for dogs, cats, and exotics.
Exotic Animal Medicine
Specialized veterinary care for non-traditional pets including birds, reptiles, and small mammals. Our team treats rabbits, guinea pigs, rodents, parrots, and tortoises with species-specific expertise. We address unique health needs through advanced diagnostics, nutritional counseling, and surgical interventions while avoiding care for venomous or dangerous species.
Surgical Procedures
State-of-the-art surgical suite offering soft tissue and orthopedic procedures. We utilize radiosurgery for precision, maintain strict anesthetic monitoring, and employ multi-modal pain management. Routine operations include spays/neuters, mass removals, and dental extractions, with post-op care including microchipping and home recovery guidance using modern pain control techniques.
Dentistry
Complete oral health management including teeth cleaning, digital dental radiography, and oral surgery. We address periodontal disease and tooth resorption in cats, overgrown teeth in rodents, and equine dental malocclusions. Preventive care emphasizes annual oral exams and home care instruction tailored to species-specific dental anatomy and eruption patterns.
Behavioral Consultations
Expert behavioral medicine addressing anxiety, aggression, and compulsive disorders in dogs and cats. Our certified consultants use multimodal therapy combining pheromone therapy, environmental enrichment, and medication when needed. We offer training classes for puppies and adult dogs using positive reinforcement techniques, focusing on long-term behavior modification rather than temporary fixes.
