Services
Pet Surgery
State Road Animal Hospital performs comprehensive surgical procedures including spaying/neutering, orthopedic repairs, and soft tissue operations. Our surgeons use modern techniques with pre-operative assessments, intraoperative monitoring, and comprehensive pain management. We offer weekday appointments for procedures like cruciate ligament repairs and mass removals, requiring current rabies vaccinations and pre-anesthetic bloodwork for patient safety.
Pet Diagnostics
Our diagnostic services include bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal exams, and digital imaging. Specialized equipment enables electrocardiograms and blood pressure monitoring, while external laboratory partnerships support advanced testing. These diagnostics help identify conditions like heartworm, feline leukemia, and internal parasites through non-invasive methods prioritizing patient comfort.
Wellness Examinations
Annual wellness exams assess pets' overall health through physical evaluations and history reviews. These preventive visits help detect early signs of disease while updating vaccination protocols. Our team provides tailored recommendations for nutrition, parasite prevention, and age-specific care during these comprehensive consultations.
Vaccinations
We administer essential vaccines following species-specific schedules for puppies and kittens. Core vaccines protect against rabies, distemper, and parvovirus while optional immunizations address lifestyle risks. Our vaccination protocols include traditional and PureVax rabies options, with detailed documentation for boarding and regulatory requirements.
Golden Years Program
This specialized program addresses aging pets' unique needs through bi-annual exams, bloodwork screening, and mobility assessments. Tailored nutrition plans and pain management strategies help maintain quality of life for pets eight years and older, with proactive monitoring for age-related conditions like arthritis and organ dysfunction.
