Pet I.D. Micro-chipping

  • We microchip using AVID microchips. The microchip is inserted below the skin, where it will stay for the life of the animal. The microchip helps return the pet to the owner. Why should I microchip? It only takes one time for the mailman, gardener, neighbor or friend to leave the gate open or the door. Unaltered pets in particular have a desire to roam. Pet theft is also a daily occurrence. Most shelters either euthanize or adopt out if a pet has no identification and not claimed by the owner.

Endoscopy/Laparoscopy 

  • Use of the endoscope and laparoscopy allows our patients to experience less pain, faster recovery times and examination of gastrointestinal tract, the endoscope can be used to take samples for biopsy without the need for surgery. Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery.

EKG

  • When an irregular heart rhythm is detected on clinical examination, an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) should be performed. An EKG analysis is a safe, simple test that provides us with valuable information about your pet’s health.

In-House Laboratory

  • Our in-house laboratory provides fast and accurate test results. These results are used as baselines to assist in monitoring your pet’s health. In some cases outside laboratory services may be needed to expand what our hospital can offer and broaden the scope of diagnostic testing.
