Wellness Exams

The doctors and staff at My Best Friends Animal Hospital strongly believe prevention is the key to your pet's long-term health. If a health problem or issue can be detected in its early stages, there is a far greater likelihood it can be treated with less difficulty, less expense and greater success.

Annual or semi-annual preventative care examinations at our animal hospital are your veterinarian's chance to assess your pet's overall health, discuss any changes with you, update you on advancements in medical care and for you to discuss any concerns or questions you have.

 

Spay & Neuter

Whether you’ve recently adopted a pet or you’re considering it, one of the most important health decisions you’ll make is to spay or neuter your cat or dog. Spaying your female pet is a procedure that requires minimal hospitalization and offers lifelong health benefits. Neutering your male pet will vastly improve your pet’s behavior and keep him close to home.



Vaccinations

Vaccinations are for keeping pets healthy and free from disease. However, not every pet requires the same series or frequency of vaccines. At My Best Friends Animal Hospital, our veterinarians determine a vaccination protocol based on your pet's lifestyle, susceptibility to disease, prevalence of disease in our area, and the most current recommendations from the American Veterinary Medical Association. Our goal to is to maintain optimal health and protection while not over-vaccinating your pet.

 

Parasite Control

Parasites can be real pests. Both external (fleas, ticks) and internal (heartworm, hookworm, roundworm) parasites can cause problems for your pet and your family. Prevention is the best way to eliminate these pests. Please ask a staff member at My Best Friend Animal Hospital for the best way to prevent parasite problems in your pet.

Micro Chipping

No matter how experienced a pet owner you are, there is always the risk of a beloved pet to go missing. Help to ensure their safety and return to your home with a microchip.



Dental Care

Regular dental check-ups and teeth cleanings combined with good dental hygiene at home, are important to your pet's overall health and well-being.

If left untreated, dental disease can not only be painful and inhibit proper nutrition, it can also lead to serious systemic issues that may threaten your pet's health before symptoms are noticeable. To be sure you're doing all you can to protect your pet's health and keep him or her feeling great, make regular dental examinations and cleanings a part of your pet's regular preventive care plan.



Radiology

Radiographs (x-rays) are extremely helpful for diagnosing and monitoring many medical and surgical conditions, such as examining your pet's bones, lungs, heart, abdomen, oral cavity and other areas of the body. An x-ray can spot a fractured bone, detect tumors, help with the diagnosis of heartworm disease or locate an obstruction or foreign body in your pet's intestine or stomach. When used in conjunction with other diagnostic procedures like ultrasound, x-rays can accurately diagnose problems, making treatment faster and easier for your pet and your veterinarian.



Laser Treatments

Laser Therapy accelerates the body’s natural healing process through photo-bio-modulation. Laser therapy provides tangible benefits to your patients, your clients, and your practice. Laser therapy is effective in treating chronic conditions, acute conditions, and post- surgical pain and inflammation.
