Wellness & Preventive Care
– We Strive to
prevent illness whenever possible. The time and effort invested in
wellness programs has rewards for both pets and owners. Annual physical
exams and vaccinations are vital to your pet’s well being. The exam can
help doctors detect medical problems before they become serious or life
threatening. Vaccinations are extremely important to protect your pet from
disease. Senior
Wellness Program
–
Our hospital
practices prevention and early detection medicine as a key to your pet’s
health. Our main goal is a Wellness Program that will insure that your pet
will live a healthy, full and productive life. Surgery
- We
offer the most advanced surgical techniques and technology. We recommend
that all patients be carefully screened for safety, and we use the safest
anesthetics for your pet. Surgical services and facilities include: fully
trained veterinary and technical staff, to ensure the safest, most
efficient, state-of-art procedures for your pet; advance sterilization
techniques; ECG and oxygen saturation monitors; intensive after surgery
care and full blood testing. Laser
Surgery – We
are the only clinic in the area able to offer state-of-the-art Laser
surgery to our clients. Laser surgery results in less bleeding, less
tissue swelling, and less pain following surgery. We strongly recommend
this option as being the Pre-Surgical Screening
– We recommend
that all pets coming in for surgery have the extra screenings. With
EKGs, our doctors can check for abnormal heart rhythms which will help us
determine if we need to alter our anesthetic protocol or delay anesthesia
until the problem is corrected. We can perform a blood analysis that will
provide us with more in-depth information on the health status of your pet
before surgery. These are similar to the blood test routinely performed in
human medicine. In-House
Diagnostics – We have a
complete in-house lab for blood chemistries, complete blood counts,
urinalyses, breeding related test, heartworm testing and fecal exams. Pain Management
– Veterinary
patients feel pain and discomfort under the same circumstances as people
do. We know that recognizing and alleviating pain in animals is the
essence of good patient care. Video Otoscope - Ear problems? This state-of-the-art machine allows us to visualize and work much deeper in the ear canal than ever before. We are able to irrigate, and perform minor surgical procedures that in the past would have been quite invasive. Ultrasound – This non-invasive, state-of-the-art
technology uses sound waves to painlessly examine specific internal
organs, primarily the heart and abdominal organs. Dentistry – Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet’s teeth. It’s a known fact that we can add 2 years to the life of the pet simply by keeping its mouth clean. After removing dental tartar and calculus, technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup. Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity. Not only will your pets breathe smell better, but also there will be less chance of dental disease, often caused by a buildup of bacteria under the gums. This will decrease the chance of kidney and heart disease caused by infections spreading through the body from the mouth. Digital
Radiology
– or x-rays – help our
veterinarians evaluate muscular-skeletal, cardiovascular
(cardiopulmonary), Boarding – Pets are like children – we feed,
nurture and lavish attention on them. When your pet is staying with us,
our highly qualified kennel attendants will treat your pets as if they are
a family member. We monitor
their every move. We provide tender loving care and offer extra hand walks
and additional exercise periods. We have separate cat and dog facilities.
All pets must be current on required vaccines and free of internal and
external parasites. Bathing
with Hydrosurge Bathing System
– Treat your pet to a luxurious bath.
Our kennel staff uses the special, HydroSurge Bathing System to remove
dirt, debris and that doggie pet odor from your pet’s skin and coat.
Your pet will feel fresh and revitalized. It is also beneficial for pets
with certain skin ailments allowing prescribed medicated shampoo to
penetrate and treat the skin. The massaging effect loosens dead layers of
skin, removes loose hair and during your pets shedding period it will
loosen hair, in turn preventing matting and possible skin infections. Services also include complimentary nail trim anal gland
expression and ear cleaning. Early
Admitting Service – We
offer pet “early admitting service”. Pets may be admitted in the
morning between the hours of 7:00 am – 9:00 am Mon. – Fri. for
treatment, bathing, vaccinations, etc and may be picked up within 30
minuets of closing time for that day. Day
Care – Is your pet unhappy or lonely while
you’re at work? Can’t get home for lunch to let your companion out for
their potty break? We can
give your companion the personal attention he or she deserves throughout
the day. We can offer your pet TLC during the day at a reasonable cost. This
way they will not have to spend the day alone or go all day without their
scheduled potty breaks. Referrals –
There
are two referral veterinary practices in this area, Unifour Veterinary
Referrals and Carolina Veterinary Specialists. We have the ability to
refer your pet for a consultation with board certified specialists in the
following areas: Ophthalmology, Orthopedic, Critical Care, Oncology,
Dermatology, Total Hip Replacement, Myelography, Neurosurgery, Imaging and
Hyperthyroidism in cats. Avid
Microchip
– This is a
professional way to identify your pet in the event he or she becomes lost.
Just like a vaccination, it’s injected under the skin, where it remains
for permanent identification. A special scanner that identifies a
personal, one-of-a-kind, identification number that can be traced back to
you detects the chip. These scanners
are used by veterinary facilities and Animal Shelters. Microchips
have helped reunite thousands of pets with their families. Prescription

latest flea and/or tick medications for your pets. These products come in
30 day topical for cats and dogs. All
products come with a 100% manufacture’s guarantee. Feel free to call the
