- Dental CareDoes your best friend have bad breath? Despite what many pet owners may believe, "dog breath" is not just a nuisance - it is a sign of an unhealthy mouth. Bad breath is caused by bacteria. Over time, bacteria leads to plaque and tartar buildup on your pet's teeth. The result is bad breath, reddened gums, and other common signs of dental disease. As dental disease progresses, other signs can include drooling, discomfort while chewing, and loose or missing teeth. Even if you are using treats and chews to help control tartar, these are often not enough to keep dental disease in check. Ask us about the best way to control plaque and help protect your pet from dental disease.
- VaccinationPets today can live longer, healthier lives than ever before - in part because of vaccines that help protect them from deadly infectious diseases. Over the years, vaccines against dangerous diseases have saved millions of pets and virtually eliminated some fatal diseases that were once common. Unfortunately, many infectious diseases remain a significant threat to dogs and cats that are not vaccinated. Vaccine programs have been highly successful and are routine today. We as your pet's health care provider and you as the care giver cannot afford to become complacent about keeping pets up-to-date on their vaccinations.
- Comprehensive ExaminationYour pet can benefit greatly from regular wellness examinations or checkups. Whether your pet is a youngster, a "senior citizen", or any age in between, wellness examinations provide an excellent opportunity for us to conduct a thorough physical examination and develop a health profile for your pet. This information will help us identify medical problems and any other issues that can affect your pet's health and quality of life.
- Parasites Treatment and ControlThere was a time when parasites like fleas, ticks, and roundworms were considered mostly a nuisance. Now we know that parasites can cause serious illness and even death in pets. For example, ticks can transmit infections like Lyme disease, and fleas can transmit tapeworms and Bartonella (cat scratch fever in humans). Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes and live in your pet's lungs and heart, leading to organ damage and even death. Intestinal parasites, like roundworms and hookworms, also threaten pets and are even transmissible to humans.
- Pain ManagementThe practice of high-quality veterinary medicine focuses on the entire patient. Experiencing pain can affect the body's physical functioning and can have a detrimental effect on a patient's well-being and state of mind. That's why pain management is among our primary considerations when we are treating a pet for any medical condition.
