Services
Vaccinations
Our vaccination programs protect pets against common infectious diseases through customized schedules based on age, lifestyle, and risk factors. We administer core vaccines like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus while providing education about disease prevention. Our team follows current veterinary guidelines to ensure optimal immune protection while minimizing unnecessary vaccinations.
Dental Cleaning
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup through ultrasonic scaling and polishing under anesthesia. We perform comprehensive oral examinations to detect gum disease, tooth decay, and oral tumors. Post-cleaning care includes home maintenance recommendations and follow-up treatment plans for dental health issues.
Surgical Procedures
We perform routine and complex surgical procedures including spays/neuters, tumor removals, and soft tissue surgeries using modern anesthetic monitoring equipment. Preoperative bloodwork and pain management protocols ensure patient safety. Our surgical suite maintains strict sterility standards for optimal recovery outcomes.
Diagnostic Testing
On-site laboratory capabilities enable rapid bloodwork analysis, urinalysis, and parasite detection. We utilize digital radiography and ultrasound for internal organ evaluation while maintaining partnerships with reference labs for specialized testing. Timely diagnostics support accurate treatment decisions for pet health conditions.
Emergency Care
We provide immediate medical attention for critical conditions during regular business hours with triage prioritization. For after-hours emergencies, we coordinate care with Animal Urgent Care of Fayetteville. Our team manages trauma cases, poisoning incidents, and acute illnesses requiring prompt veterinary intervention.
Questions
What vaccinations does my puppy need?
Puppies require a series of core vaccines including distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, and rabies. Additional vaccines like bordetella and leptospirosis may be recommended based on lifestyle factors and local disease prevalence.
How often should my pet receive dental cleaning?
Most pets benefit from annual professional dental cleanings starting at one year old. Individual recommendations vary based on breed predisposition, diet, and existing oral health conditions observed during physical examinations.
What constitutes a veterinary emergency?
Emergency situations include difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, poisoning, trauma, seizures, and inability to urinate. Contact us immediately for urgent medical concerns during business hours or call Animal Urgent Care after hours.
How does microchipping benefit pet owners?
Microchips provide permanent identification that cannot be lost like collars. When registered properly, microchips enable rapid reunification with lost pets through veterinary clinics and shelters that routinely scan for identification.
What preventive care services do you recommend?
We recommend annual physical exams, parasite prevention (heartworm, flea/tick), core vaccinations, dental care, and nutrition counseling. Senior pets benefit from biannual checkups with bloodwork screening for early disease detection.
