INTERNAL MEDICINE and RADIOLOGY

We cover all areas of internal medicine, including: Cardiology; Ophthalmology; Neurology; Dermatology; Gastroenterology; Oncology; Endocrinology; among others. Radiology or X-rays help our veterinarians evaluate muscular-skeletal, cardiovascular (cardiopulmonary), gastrointestinal, reproductive and urinary systems. We also have a specific machine for taking dental radiographs. 

  

DENTAL CARE

Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet's teeth. We use modern and safe ultrasonic scaler to clean each tooth thoroughly - above and below the gum line. Dental technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup. Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity.  Our pre-treatment evaluation includes detailed charting of the condition of the patient's teeth and gums. We have a digital dental radiograph machine that allows us to efficiently get specific detailed films of the patient's mouth. The digital capability significantly reduces the time required to obtain radiographs and the length of general anesthesia for the patient.   

 

SURGERY

We offer the most advanced surgical techniques and technology. All patients are carefully screened for safety, and anesthetics are specifically tailored to your pet. Surgical services and facilities include: board certified surgeon available for consultation; fully trained veterinary and technical staff, to ensure the safest, most efficient, state-of-the-art procedures for your pet; heated surgery tables for greater comfort; advanced sterilization techniques; ECG and blood pressure monitors; intensive after surgery care and full blood testing. Most orthopedic, and some soft tissue surgeries are referred to a local board certified veterinary surgeon.

ULTRASOUND

This non-invasive, state-of-the-art technology uses sound waves to painlessly examine specific internal organs, primarily the heart and abdominal organs. We work with the Board Certified radiologists of Veterinary Imaging Specialists to provide skilled, accurate ultrasound examinations.

 

FLEAS & TICKS

We recommend keeping your pets on both a heartworm and flea and tick preventative year round. Although the weather is starting to get a little colder, we start seeing an increase in flea outbreaks in September and October so don't stop prevention now! For dogs, we currently offer Trifexis, which is an oral medication that  treats fleas and heartworms. We also carry the Heartgard/Nexgard combo. Heartgard is a long trusted product that we have sold for many years that covers heartworms and some internal parasites. We previously have suggested Frontline for fleas to be used in combination with the Heartgard. However, after many cases of fleas last year with compliant clients, we can no longer confidently recommend Frontline. Instead, we are suggesting Nexgard. Nexgard has been shown to be much more effective on fleas and is a very palatable oral medication. For cats, we recommend Revolution. Please call the office or stop by if you have any questions or  to pick up products for your pets!
