Annual Physical Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams include head-to-tail evaluations to detect early signs of health issues. We monitor weight, vital signs, and organ function while providing preventive care recommendations tailored to your pet's life stage. These regular assessments help maintain optimal health through early intervention.
Vaccinations
We administer core and elective vaccines to protect against common infectious diseases. Our vaccination protocols follow AAHA guidelines while considering individual risk factors. We provide rabies, distemper, bordetella, and feline leukemia vaccines for dogs and cats respectively.
Dental Care
Our dental services include professional cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Digital dental x-rays help diagnose hidden issues while our scaling and polishing procedures prevent tooth decay. We also provide home care guidance to maintain oral health between visits.
Spay/Neuter Surgery
We perform elective spaying and neutering surgeries for puppies and kittens starting at 3-4 months old. These procedures prevent unwanted litters while reducing health risks like mammary tumors and prostate disease. Our surgical team uses modern anesthetic protocols for patient safety.
Emergency Services
Established clients receive after-hours emergency care through Guardian Vets' on-call service. We handle trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses with immediate triage. For critical cases requiring specialized care, we coordinate transfers to the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital.
