Heartworm Prevention and Flea/Tick Control
We carry the following products in house:
Nutrition
We carry Hill's Science Diet and Prescription Diet in house and are happy to place orders for our clients. In addition, we offer Purina Prescription Diets, ProPlan and Royal Canin.
Boarding
We currently offer boarding for our feline friends, with the occasional boarding for dogs based on medical necessity. Our cat boarders receive Science Diet or Purina diets or any food the owners bring, as well as Yesterday's News for litter. Cats must be current on rabies and FVRCP and have been tested negative for FeLV to reduce the risk of transmission to other boarding cats. Cats with fleas will be treated with Capstar. Cats and other boarders with diarrhea will have a fecal run to ensure that the diarrhea is not parasite-induced. For more information, please contact our office.
Microchipping
As part of our small animal services, we also offer HomeAgain microchipping to ensure that your pet identified if lost or stolen. A small microchip is implanted under the skin between the shoulder blandes and can be detected using a microchip scanner. HomeAgain services include the following:
· Advanced pet recovery services if your pet goes missing
· Emergency pet center to notify owners of the location of emergency veterinary services
· Medical insurance for lost pets
· A pet ID card
Dentistry
In small animal medicine, routine dental prophylaxis treats periodontal disease and ensures that your pet does not have any discomfort with regards to dental disease. We strongly promote dental awareness and recommend that all pets with any degree of tartar obtain a routine dental. In our geriatric patients that may be more prone to a variety of diseases, ensuring proper dental health will reduce the risk of bacteria from the mouth spreading to other areas of the body and worsening any disease process that is occurring.
Surgery
Routine soft tissue surgeries, such as neutering and spaying, are offered to our clients. In addition, exploratory and emergency surgeries, such as C-section, GDV and splenectomy are performed. Eye surgeries include third eyelid gland replacement, entropion surgery and others. Although we do not offer surgical repair of fractures at this time, other orthopedic surgeries are offered, such as femoral head ostectomy (FHO), cruciate repair, medial patellar luxation repair and amputation.
