Our Services
Appointments (emergencies)
Call us at 239-353-5060 for an immediate appointment during our regular clinic hours in the event of any extra-ordinary concerns or emergencies. We are always prepared to accommodate such needs immediately. In the event of emergencies outside of our regular clinic hours, please call 239-263-8010.
Annual Senior Wellness Examinations (Preventive Medicine)
We highly recommend regular annual comprehensive physical and dental examinations for your pet. This is especially important as pets grow older taking into account that one year in our lives equates to about seven years in an animal’s life span. These examinations frequently identify previously un-recognized latent medical problems and sometimes enable us to begin treatments before diseases progress to advanced stages. These examinations also enable us to establish diagnostic base lines that can then be tracked as pets approach their senior years.
Behavioral Counseling
Behavioral problems are the number one reason that pets are relinquished. The doctors can address your concerns, discuss a behavioral modification plan and when appropriate prescribe medications to decrease your pet’s anxiety levels.
Boarding
Let us take care of you pets while you are away. Our boarding facility can accommodate small and large breed dogs and your feline companions as well. Boarding reservations may be scheduled by telephone (239-353-5060) or email(click).
It is our practice to conduct an oral examination on every pet while they are boarding with us. There is no charge for these examinations. Whenever periodontal or other oral pathologies are identified, clients are notified and the matter discussed with them by telephone or at a mutually convenient time.
Dentistry
Preventing dental disease through regular brushing at home and promptly attending to dental pathologies is important because it eliminates severe pain and significantly improves the quality of a pet’s life. The unattended progression of dental diseases can have serious irreversible health consequences and even hasten death.
Dentistry is in the mainstream of our practice. We employ dental digital radiography, high speed equipment and have the capabilities to address routine hygienic cleanings, both simple and complicated surgical extractions and the treatment of periodontal diseases.
Dermatology (Allergy and Skin Care)
There can be many reasons why your pet is itching and scratching - from fleas and food to environmental molds and pollens. Diagnosing and treating the cause of your pet’s skin problems is the key to a successful outcome. We carry and can recommend suitable flea and tick preventatives, as well as other skin products for your pets.
General Surgery
Our hospital is equipped to perform a broad range of surgeries using the latest in anesthetic protocols monitoring devices and pain medications to promote safety and well being both during and after the surgery.
Heartworm Prevention
Due to a year round mosquito population in Florida monthly heartworm prevention is a must for both dogs and cats. We carry several different heartworm preventatives to meet your pet’s needs. Yearly heartworm tests are also strongly recommended. Preventative medicine re-fills may be ordered by telephone (239-353-5060) or on-line.
Microchips
A microchip provides a permanent source of identification for your pet should it become lost or run away. The procedure is economic, essentially painless and quick.
Nutrition
We carry a wide range of quality pet foods, including prescription diets, and recommend appropriate food selections based on your pet’s specific needs –from the overweight dog to the diabetic cat.
On-Site Laboratory
Blood analyses equipment in our hospital allows us to diagnose and immediately treat when time is critical.
Pharmacy
A fully stocked pharmacy allows us to send you out the door with the doctor prescribed medications that your pet needs. For refills, call us (239-353-5060) or order on-line so we can have your pet’s medications ready for you to pick up at your convenience. We are also able to mail prescription refills.
Preventative Medicine and Senior Wellness
Regularly scheduled physical examinations are important in the early diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases. Did you know that having your pet examined by the veterinarian once a year is equivalent to a human seeing the doctor every seven years?
Radiology
We employ digital x-ray technology, including a separate dedicated system for identifying dental pathologies. The two digital systems enable us to produce x-ray images within seconds. Those digital images are evaluated through the use of state-of-the-art computer technology to facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment.
Tele-Medicine Diagnostics and Specialist Consultation
Our digital radiology systems give us the capability to electronically transmit x-ray images to Board Certified Specialists for further evaluation and recommendations by way of electronic reports which are typically received within an hour.
Ultrasound
We have on site ultrasound capability through a working arrangement with a Board Certified Specialist.
Vaccine Programs
We assess your pet’s risk of exposure to diseases and develop a vaccine protocol that meets their specific needs. We offer three year vaccine programs when appropriate.
