Services
Routine Surgeries
Our surgical services include spay/neuter procedures, declaw operations, tumor removals, and foreign body extractions. Dr. Eichler performs surgeries with the assistance of trained technicians who provide continuous patient monitoring before, during, and after procedures. We ensure all surgical patients receive proper pre-operative preparation and post-operative care in a controlled environment.
Emergency Treatment
Emergency veterinary services operate five days weekly with experienced staff handling critical cases like poisoning, trauma, and allergic reactions. Our team provides immediate assessment and treatment for life-threatening conditions while also accommodating less severe urgent care needs between regular appointments with prior notification.
Laser Therapy
We offer therapeutic laser treatment for pain relief, inflammation reduction, and accelerated healing. This non-invasive option aids recovery from surgery, arthritis, wounds, and musculoskeletal injuries through targeted light application that promotes cellular regeneration and improved circulation without patient discomfort.
Dental Care
Our dental services include teeth cleaning, extractions, and oral health assessments. Professional cleaning procedures involve scaling, polishing, and fluoride treatment to maintain dental hygiene while we provide guidance on home care routines to prevent periodontal disease through regular checkups and preventative maintenance programs.
Vaccinations
We administer core vaccinations and preventative treatments for common animal diseases. Our vaccination schedule recommends annual rabies shots and regular boosters for distemper, parvovirus, and other preventable illnesses while maintaining vaccination records to ensure pets remain protected against infectious diseases throughout their lives.
