Services
Companion Animals
Our companion animal services include core and optional vaccinations, wellness exams, and preventive care for dogs and cats. We follow AAHA guidelines for distemper, parvovirus, rabies, and other essential vaccinations, with customized schedules for puppies, kittens, adults, and seniors. During each examination, we monitor weight and temperature, assess eating habits, and screen for diabetes, cancer, and behavioral issues. Our focus remains on early detection and education to maintain pets' long-term health.
Large Animals
We provide comprehensive large animal care including herd health management, mobile veterinary services, and equine dentistry. Our offerings cover vaccinations, on-farm digital X-ray, breeding soundness exams, and field surgery for cattle, horses, and other livestock. We feature portable cattle chutes for small herds and specialize in wound management, lameness exams, and reproductive health. Our team supports dairy calf production and offers veterinary feed directives to ensure proper nutrition and disease prevention in agricultural settings.
Laser Therapy
Our certified laser therapy service delivers non-invasive treatment for pain relief and accelerated healing in animals. Using infrared technology, we address arthritis, hip dysplasia, and post-surgical recovery without drugs or side effects. This FDA-cleared modality reduces inflammation and promotes cellular regeneration, with noticeable improvement often within hours. Patients receive customized treatment plans that may include regular sessions for chronic conditions, enhancing quality of life for senior animals and those recovering from injuries or surgeries.
Senior Wellness
We specialize in senior pet wellness programs starting around age seven for dogs and cats. These bi-annual examinations focus on early detection of kidney disease, heart conditions, cancer, and mobility issues. Our assessments include blood work, urinalysis, and physical exams to identify age-related changes. We provide tailored nutrition advice, pain management strategies, and behavior modification guidance to maintain senior pets' quality of life. The program helps owners recognize subtle signs of discomfort and implement preventative care measures.
After Hours Care
While we don't provide 24/7 emergency care for small animals, our practice maintains after-hours support for established large animal clients. For urgent livestock cases, clients can contact our clinic directly. Small animal emergencies receive referrals to three regional emergency hospitals in Cincinnati with 24/7 availability. Our after-hours protocol ensures continuity of care for critical cases while directing pet owners to appropriate urgent care resources when regular appointments aren't available.
