- Dental CareAnimals, like people, need regular dental care. Gum disease causes pain, accounts for the loss of teeth, and can lead to serious generalized bacterial infections. Our routine physical exams include an examination of your pet’s mouth to help guide you with the best care of their teeth. Teeth cleaning (the removal of dental plaque and tartar) is an important step in preventing dental problems and periodontal disease treatment.
- VaccinationA micro-chip is a tiny electronic device about the size and shape of a grain of rice. It is implanted beneath a pet’s skin between the shoulder blades and stays there for the pet’s entire life. The procedure is as easy and as painless as a vaccination. Each micro-chip has a unique number. This number along with the pet’s and owner’s information are added to a national pet registry. Most veterinarians and animal shelters have electronic scanners for detecting and reading these implanted micro-chips. If a lost pet is found and the micro-chip is scanned, the registry is called and the owner is notified.

- Comprehensive ExaminationTo ensure a maximum, healthy life span for our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. Preventative health care recommendations are made based on examination findings and your pet’s individual needs and situation, which you help us to determine. This may include blood, urine, or fecal tests, vaccinations, dietary or exercise advice, and life style changes. The gradual onset of health problems in an apparently healthy pet often goes unnoticed. Once symptoms appear, the condition may be more difficult or costly to diagnose and treat. Although age itself is not a disease, it can bring many conditions that if diagnosed early, can be completely reversed or controlled for extended periods of time. At least once a year your pet should have a complete physical exam. Remember, your pet’s life span is much shorter than humans. Much can happen in 12 months. Pediatric visits Geriatric pet care
