CONSULTING
Veterinary consulting is a collaborative process between pet owners and experienced veterinary professionals aimed at understanding and addressing the health and well-being of animals. In this consultative approach, pet owners provide valuable information about their pet's behavior, symptoms, and any concerns they may have. Seasoned veterinarians or veterinary nurses carefully analyze this information to diagnose potential health issues, assess the overall condition of the animal, and formulate an appropriate course of action. This may involve recommending specific medications, suggesting lifestyle changes, or proposing targeted treatments or procedures. Veterinary consulting serves as a vital bridge between pet owners and healthcare providers, fostering effective communication and ensuring that pets receive the best possible care tailored to their unique needs.
MICROCHIPPING
Microchipping pets is a straightforward and minimally invasive procedure that entails the placement of a small computer chip, roughly the size of a rice grain, beneath the skin, typically between the shoulder blades. This microchip is implanted through a simple process involving the use of a needle to insert it under the loose skin of the animal. Each microchip is assigned a unique serial number, which is linked to a registered phone number and the owner's contact details. In the event that a lost or unidentified pet is found, a handheld scanner can be used to read the microchip, revealing the associated information. This enables veterinary clinics or shelters to promptly contact the pet's owner, facilitating a swift and secure reunion. Microchipping serves as a reliable and permanent method for pet identification, enhancing the chances of reuniting lost pets with their caregivers.
OPERATIONS
Our veterinary clinic provides a comprehensive range of essential operations for dogs and cats, including sterilization surgery, elective procedures, and dental surgery. Elective sterilization, a commonly performed surgical procedure, holds significant benefits for both pets and the wider community. This practice primarily contributes to population control, effectively reducing the need for euthanasia of unwanted dogs. The standard procedures for sterilizing male and female dogs involve castration, the removal of testicles, and ovariohysterectomy, the removal of both ovaries and the uterus, respectively. While these surgeries impact animals in both positive and negative ways, they offer dog owners the opportunity to make informed decisions regarding their pet's reproductive health. The timing of such procedures, typically done when the dog is fully mature or pubertal, allows owners to choose whether or not to proceed with gonad removal, ensuring responsible and well-informed pet care. Additionally, our clinic is equipped to perform various elective procedures and dental surgeries, promoting the overall health and well-being of our furry companions.
PUPPYCLASSES
Recognizing that dogs, much like humans, absorb information most effectively during their formative years, puppy classes are designed to instill essential training and socialization skills early on. Proper training during the puppy stage lays the foundation for a well-behaved and obedient adult dog. Socializing puppies is a key aspect of this process, fostering positive interactions with other dogs and ensuring a calm demeanor in various social settings. Ideally, the optimal age to commence puppy classes and training is between 8 and 13 weeks when their capacity for learning is at its peak. Our basic puppy training program spans approximately 5 weeks, covering fundamental commands and behaviors. This duration allows for a comprehensive approach to teaching crucial skills that will benefit both the puppy and its owner.

TICK & FLEA TREATMENT
Ensuring the health and well-being of your pets involves year-round vigilance, particularly when it comes to protecting them from fleas and ticks. These pests pose a significant threat, with tick activity peaking during the summer months. While June through August might be considered lower-risk periods, it is crucial to maintain consistent preventative measures throughout the entire year. Some pet owners may consider skipping preventatives during these seemingly safer months, only to resume flea and tick prevention in September or October as the weather warms up. At our clinic, we emphasize the importance of continuous protection against these parasites. We offer the latest and most effective flea and tick treatment products designed to safeguard your pets from potential infestations. Our team is dedicated to providing quality advice on the proper usage of these products, ensuring that your pets receive optimal protection without any lapses. By seeking our expertise and utilizing the recommended preventatives, you can help your furry companions enjoy a healthier and more comfortable life, free from the risks associated with fleas and ticks.
