It is commonly used to evaluate the skeleton, abdomen, and chest.

Preventative Health Care

We feel strongly that every pet should be examined at least once a year. The time and effort invested in your pets' health has rewards for both pets and owners. Our recommendations are designed specifically for your pet and include: Comprehensive physical exam; a dental checkup to be sure your pet's teeth and gums stay healthy; internal parasite testing; heartworm and flea control; micro-chipping; spay and neuter; and specialized blood tests for all life stages.

 

Patient Record Reminder System

Our computerized patient record-keeping system allows us to track your pet's health needs: vaccinations, heartworm exams, fecal exams, dental exams, and medications.

 

Microchipping

Placing a microchip into your pet gives it a form of permanent identification that cannot be altered. All animal shelters and most veterinary clinics have equipment that will scan for a chip and give you a much better chance of being reunited with you pet should he/she become lost. The procedure is not very different than giving a routine vaccine. We find that micro chipping at the time of spay or neuter is the easiest and most convenient, but it can be done at any time.

 

Pain Management

Managing your pet's pain is something we take very seriously. Pets feel pain and discomfort for the same reasons and under the same circumstances as people do. The effects of pain can actually delay the healing process. That is why we use a variety of methods and medications to control your pet's pain. These include a combination of oral and injectable medications for all routine surgeries and Dentals.
