Annual Wellness Visits for dogs, cats, exotics and birds: We believe that all pets should have an annual physical examination. At this exam, recommendations for optimal care and wellness will be made. Dogs and cats will have risk assessments performed as part of this annual exam to determine the most appropriate individualized vaccination strategy. Blood work and diagnostic tests based on species, breed and age will be performed with special consideration for the needs of the senior pets.
Surgical Services: Our state-of-the-art surgical suite provides for the performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures. We have warm-water blankets for temperature control during surgery and use fluid pumps for accurate intraoperative fluid therapy. We tailor our pain control to each patient and use pain medications before and after surgery for optimal managment of discomfort. For our clients' convenience, we regularly schedule to have certain surgeries (usually orthopedic surgeries such as fracture repairs and cruciate ligament surgery) perfomred at our hospital by Dr. McCarthy, a board-certified veterinary surgeon who practices at Tufts.
Anesthesia: We utilize the safest available gas anesthetics to provide that 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.
Radiology Services: Our on-site, modern X-ray equipment provides high quality radiographs to aid in the diagnosis of many disorders.
Ultrasound: We have an excellent ultrasoud machine on-site and can perform complete examinations. We also have a visiting professional ultrasonographer available for echocardiograms (ultrasound of the heart), ultrasound examinations of the chest and abdomen, and ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspirates and biopsies.
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.
Microchipping: We can easily implant a Home Again microchip in your pet for identification.
Pharmacy: We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, shampoos and heartworm preventatives to meet the needs of your pet.
Dentistry: Our dental services include teeth cleaning and polishing, tooth extractions and oral surgery.
Individualized Flea & Tick Control Programs: We develop programs for the specific needs of your pet and your own particular environmental situation. We will review with you the best ways to control fleas and ticks in your yard, your house, and on your pet.
Dietary Counseling: We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance and performance. We have many prescription diets available for pets with specific dietary needs.
Behavioral Counseling: We can provide advice regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling and aggression.
Boarding: We provide cat boarding as a service to our clients. All boarders receive personal attention from our caring staff. Pets may be dropped off and picked up during regular business hours Monday through Saturday.
Emergency Care: We see emergencies during our normal hours. Please call our main telephone number for instructions for after-hour emergencies.
