Vaccinations

|
Vaccination continues to play an important role in disease prevention. That said, because we recognize that vaccines are not completely benign, our general vaccine recommendations are customized for each patient. The vaccines we use come from several manufacturers and have been carefully selected because of their demonstrated safety and efficacy. In addition, we have promoted reduced vaccination protocols since 2001, lessening our patients’ vaccine-associated side-effects without decreasing their protection. Ongoing research and clinical experience have enabled us to continue to reduce vaccine use.

Dentistry and Oral Surgery

|
Caring for the health of everything inside our patients’ mouths is an essential, life-long process which contributes to their overall wellbeing and comfort. Our state of the art equipment, including digital dental radiography, enables us to investigate and help maintain your pet’s dental and oral health. Home care is a crucial factor in keeping pet mouths happy, but such preventive measures typically cannot remedy advanced disease and a large number of pets and owners still need help from us. Often enough, oral disease progresses faster than is recognized and oral surgery, to remove significantly diseased teeth, is the only option. Owners need only to imagine what it feels like to have a loose tooth in an inflamed tooth socket – let alone several to many of them - to understand the importance of addressing oral disease aggressively. Referral to veterinary dental specialists for more advanced care like endodontics, crown restoration and orthodontics is available within our area.
