Routine Preventative Care
Our preventative care program includes annual exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention to maintain optimal pet health. Early detection screenings help identify potential issues before they become serious. Our veterinarians provide tailored wellness plans based on your pet's age, breed, and lifestyle. This proactive approach extends pets' lifespans while reducing long-term healthcare costs through early intervention strategies.
Surgical Procedures
We perform soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries using modern anesthetic protocols and monitoring equipment. Our surgical services include spaying/neutering, tumor removals, and fracture repairs. Pre-operative bloodwork ensures patient safety while post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring. Our surgeons collaborate with specialists for complex cases requiring advanced techniques or equipment.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include cleanings, extractions, and oral health assessments under anesthesia. Digital dental X-rays identify hidden issues below the gumline. We provide home care guidance to prevent periodontal disease, which impacts overall health. Regular dental maintenance prevents tooth loss and reduces systemic infection risks associated with poor oral health.
Emergency Treatment
After-hours emergencies are handled by our partner specialists at Ocean State Veterinary Specialists. Our team stabilizes critical patients before transfers and provides follow-up care. We treat trauma, poisoning, breathing difficulties, and other life-threatening conditions. Continuous monitoring equipment and emergency medications ensure immediate intervention while coordinating with specialists for advanced care requirements.
Diagnostic Imaging
Digital radiography and ultrasound capabilities enable accurate internal organ assessments. Board-certified equipment produces high-resolution images for diagnosing fractures, tumors, and soft tissue abnormalities. Ultrasound-guided biopsies allow minimally invasive sample collection. These tools aid in creating precise treatment plans while reducing the need for exploratory procedures that carry higher risks.
