- Dental CareYour pet's dental care shouldn't end when he or she leaves Imperial Animal Hospital. Our staff can show you how to brush your pet's teeth at home. This is an excellent way to prevent plaque and tartar build-up, promote good oral hygiene and, most of all, bond with your pet.
- VaccinationAll pets should undergo a complete preventative care exam at least once a year, though we encourage more frequent exams. Preventative care exams help us establish a baseline health profile for your pet; this information is used to better diagnose and treat your pet. Using this information, we develop a health care plan that's as unique as your best friend. Preventative care exams also include parasite testing, vaccinations and laboratory tests that help detect and prevent disease.

- Comprehensive ExaminationAll pets should undergo a complete preventative wellness exam at least once a year, though we encourage more frequent exams. Wellness exams help us establish a baseline health profile for your pet; this information is used to better diagnose and treat your pet.

Wellness exams also include parasite testing, vaccinations and laboratory tests that help detect and present disease.

- Periodontal Disease TreatmentClean teeth and a healthy mouth are a must for your pet! Regular dental examinations and cleanings are an important part of your pet's health care plan.
