Preventative Medicine

Heartworm Disease
Fecal Testing
Senior Pet Health Plan - We all want our pets to be healthy and happy as long as possible. Just like people, as pets age they become more likely to develop diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease and thyroid problems. For this reason, we have developed a Senior Pet Health Plan that uses many different diagnostic tools to help us find any underlying health issues affecting your pet. Please click here for the plan.
People Food and Animals - Although many people give their pets table scraps for treats, you should be aware of the potential danger of this habit. Chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, and raisins are all poisonous to dogs and cats and should be avoided. Rich or fatty foods can cause stomach upset, diarrhea, and/or pancreatitis, a disease that can require hospitalization. Healthy treats, such as carrots, celery, or small pieces of bread, are alternative options for your pet.

How to Brush Your Pet's Teeth
OraVet - OraVet works in an effective new way. It significantly reduces plaque and tartar formation by creating an invisible barrier that prevents bacteria from attaching to your pet's teeth. While other products may remove plaque and tartar, OraVet is the first plaque prevention system. It's a completely safe and drug-free product that adheres to teeth even through brushing. This breakthrough approach to oral healthcare begins in the clinic with your veterinarian and continues at home with you.

Our Role: We apply OraVet Barrier Sealant as the last step in your pet's dental cleaning. Bacteria start attaching to teeth just minutes after a dental cleaning, OraVet Barrier Sealant creates an invisible barrier that prevents plaque- and tartar-forming bacteria from attaching. It's just that simple.

Em ergency Brochure - A brochure, put out by the government, that highlights the key steps owners should take to prepare themselves and their animals in the event of an emergency.
