Services
 

Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best:

Vaccines: Our hospital provides a variety of vaccines for dogs, cats and ferrets.  We encourage you to discuss with your veterinarian the different vaccines, your pets lifestyle, travel plans and history to determine the best vaccine protocol for your pet.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services:  Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.  Canine heartworm tests, Felv/FIV, and dermatological diagnostics can be done while you wait.
      

• Laparoscopic:  Minimally invasive procedures performed through a small (1/2 inch) incision.  Many procedures are offered using this option including Ovariohysterectomy (Spay), Cryptorchid Castration (Neuter), Liver biopsy, Intestinal surgery, Urinary Bladder surgery, and other abdominal procedures/problems.
• Arthroscopic: Specific procedures performed on joints using a small camera and instrument ports which make the procedure more precise and less invasive.
• Laser: A procedure using the novapulse laser, sealing the blood vessels and nerve endings, making the procedure more comfortable and safe for your pet.
• Orthopedic: We offer a full line of orthopedic surgery at our hospital. These include, but are not limited to, fracture repair from simple fractures to more advanced fractures such as pelvic or open fractures.  Also offered is Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) surgery for cruciate ligament damage of the knee.  We always appreciate the opportunity to give you a consultation on your orthopedic probelms and concerns so that you may make the best possible decision regarding your pets health.
• PennHIP:  A technique for the evaluation of hip health and hip displaysia, which can be performed completely as young as 16 weeks.

   
Anesthesia:  We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide an extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high-risk patients. Using the most modern equipment, the patient's vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.
    
Endoscopy Services:  This type of procedure provides a non-invasive way to evaluate the "inside" of the stomach, small intestine and colon.  It can be used to remove small foreign objects from the Gastro Intestinal tract or to obain biopsies for a diagnosis of such diseases as cancer or inflammatory bowel disease.
  
Radiology Services:  Our on-site, modern X-ray equipment provides high quality radiographs to aid in the quick diagnosis of many disorders.

Electrocardiography Services:  We provide ECG services on-site as well as consultations with cardiology specialists.

Video Otoscope Services: Video Otoscope enables you to see what we see when evaluating your pets ear canals.  We can also perform deep ear cleaning and minor procedures with the use of this procedure.
   
Dentistry:  Our dental services include teeth cleaning with an ultrasonic scaler and polishing, tooth extractions and minor oral surgery. Dental disease can lead to damange of the liver, kidneys, and heart valves.  Routine dental care and brushing is recommended for dogs and cats.  Ask us to show you how.
   
Laboratory:  Our in-house laboratory facilities provide for serum chemistry, hematology, serology, urinalysis and parasite testing. We also utilize commercial veterinary laboratories for specialized diagnostics and consultations.
    
Permanent identification (Microchipping): Our hospital is able to place a small microchip (about the size of a grain of rice) underneath the skin of your pet, between the shoulder blades, to allow for permanent identification. In the unfortunate case that your pet is lost or stolen, this allows for identification and recovery.  The microchip can be detected by a scanner used by veterinary hospitals, rescue groups, humane socities and animal control departments. It is a simple procedure that can be performed during a routine appointment.
    
Pharmacy:  We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, shampoos, flea and tick control products and heartworm preventatives to meet the needs of your pet. We also carry a full line of prescription diets.
