Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture at Urban Vet Care uses traditional Chinese medicine techniques to stimulate nerve function, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve mobility. This service complements conventional treatments for chronic conditions like arthritis, GI disorders, and behavioral issues. Treatments are tailored to individual pets, with certified veterinary acupuncturists ensuring safe and effective care.
Laser Therapy
Veterinary laser therapy provides non-invasive, drug-free pain relief for pets recovering from surgery, arthritis, or injuries. This treatment increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and accelerates healing. Sessions typically last 3-8 minutes, with most pets showing noticeable improvement within hours of treatment completion.
Digital Radiology
Our digital radiology services enable precise internal evaluations for dental and skeletal health. Radiographs are reviewed by board-certified specialists to detect hidden pathologies missed in physical exams. This technology improves diagnostic accuracy while protecting vital organs through early detection of tooth root issues and bone abnormalities.
Surgical Services
We offer routine and advanced surgical procedures including spays, neuters, and mass removals. Our surgical team collaborates with boarded specialists for complex cases, ensuring comprehensive preoperative diagnostics and postoperative care. Every procedure includes detailed client consultations and follow-up monitoring for optimal recovery.
