Urinalysis
This routine test is an important part of evaluating your pet’s health, especially if they’re exhibiting clinical signs pointing to illness. It’s mainly used to assess the kidneys and urinary system, but it can also reveal problems in other parts of the body.
Blood Screening
We recommend yearly bloodwork for all of our patients, especially senior pets. We customize our blood panels depending on your pet’s age, species, and clinical symptoms. A bloodwork analysis is also mandatory prior to anesthetic procedures.
Diagnostic Imaging (Radiography & Ultrasonography)
X-rays and ultrasounds are sometimes the most conclusive form of diagnostic testing we can do to examine bones, the heart, lungs, and other abdominal organs. X-rays are necessary for determining a course of action for a foreign body and can save your pet’s life. An ultrasound is a useful diagnostic tool for examining abdominal disease, completing a sterile urinalysis, and monitoring pregnancies.
Echocardiogram
Informative and non-invasive, an ultrasound of the heart helps to identify heart murmurs, irregular rhythms, and heart disease. Routine screenings can be scheduled for pets predisposed with heart conditions.
Blood Pressure Monitoring
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is more common in pets than you may think and it’s usually caused by an underlying medical condition. Measuring your pet’s blood pressure accurately is important to understand the severity of your pet’s condition and prescribing appropriate treatment.
Fecal Testing
A series of tests are done on a fecal sample to help diagnose certain conditions that may be affecting your pet’s digestive tract. Fecal testing enables veterinarians to determine if your pet has intestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, coccidia, and giardia.
Nutraceuticals
Used in the treatment and prevention of disease, nutraceuticals are compounds found in food or herbs used to benefit your pet’s health. An alternative to pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals fall into the food supplement category and include multiple ingredients in a single product.
In-House Progesterone Testing
In the dog, progesterone rises just prior to ovulation and remains high until just prior to whelping. For maximum fertility, it is critical to time breeding using progesterone as it helps to determine when ovulation has occurred. Progesterone levels can vary from dog to dog, and may even vary from cycle to cycle in an individual dog. Using an in-house progesterone assay, we can determine quickly when a dog has reached the best time for insemination.

Surgical Health Services
Spay/Neuter Surgery
These low-risk sterilization procedures are completed under general anesthesia and help prolong your pet’s life. Having your pet spayed or neutered prevents uterine infections, breast tumors, testicular cancer, prostate issues, behavioral problems and more.
Oral Surgery/Dental Extractions
Every now and then, our comprehensive oral health assessments and treatments call for more than a routine dental cleaning. Removing growths and extracting teeth are two of the most common reasons oral surgery may be necessary.
Growth Removal Surgery
Removing growths, like moles, lesions, or tumors, can be a lifesaving procedure or a cosmetic preference. Whether malignant or benign, a large growth can bother your pet or cause secondary health concerns.
Foreign Body Retrieval Surgery
If your pet swallows an object they shouldn’t have, it can get stuck in their digestive tract. When that happens, the “foreign body” blocks important bodily functions, causing a life-threatening emergency, and must be removed.

Entropion Surgery
This corrective surgery fixes entropion, a hereditary eyelid abnormality. This procedure can prevent and treat pain, perforations, ulcers, excessive tearing, and more.
Third Eyelid Tacking Surgery
This corrective surgery takes care of our patients with cherry eye, a prolapse of the third eyelid gland. Although it’s generally considered to be a cosmetic issue, cherry eye can cause tear deficiency, infection, or pain if it becomes irritated.
Cesarean Section
A Cesarean section is major surgery performed to remove puppies from the uterus. C-sections are often an option for any dog breed that is unlikely to deliver its litter naturally, situations where normal delivery is not likely, if the mother is sick or weak, there’s an anatomical abnormality, or the mother had difficulty delivering a previous litter.
