Pet Wellness Exams
A wellness exam is a routine medical examination of a patient that is apparently healthy. Regular wellness exams allow us to detect medical conditions in their early stages, making them easier to treat with less expense and greater success rates. During your pet’s comprehensive “nose to tail” physical exam, your veterinarian will assess your pet’s health and address any recommended treatments.
Learn MorePreventative Care
Your pet’s wellness recommendations are based on your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and overall health. Preventative care includes vaccinations, deworming, parasite protection, regular dental care, and even behavioral resources! During your pet’s wellness exam, your vet will discuss our recommendations for your pet and help you choose the most appropriate treatment options.
Learn MoreIn-House Diagnostics
Primary Care Animal Hospital offers the most advanced in-house diagnostic tools available to ensure your pet’s accurate diagnosis in a timely manner. Our digital radiography is so safe it’s even appropriate for pregnant pets! We also offer ultrasonography and electrocardiography, and we are connected to a large network of internal medicine specialists who often give second opinions on our diagnostic cases.
Learn MoreDentistry
Dental care is a critical component of prolonging your pet’s life, as dental disease is known to affect not just the mouth but the kidney, liver, and heart muscles too. At every exam, your vet will assess your pet’s oral health and make suggestions for treatment such as cleanings, extractions, and available preventative treatments. We perform all of our dental procedures in-house, including full-mouth radiographs and oral surgery.
Learn MoreSurgery
When your pet needs to undergo surgery, we understand how important it is to feel confident you’re both receiving the best care available. We pride ourselves in maintaining an impeccable facility and practicing the highest standards in veterinary small tissue and orthopedic surgery. Your pet is kept calm and comfortable, and is carefully monitored throughout their stay with us to ensure complete healing.
Learn MoreEmergency Care
We provide emergency care services to new and established clients during our regular business hours. Whether it’s treating a bite wound, fracture, allergic reaction, poisoning, or other emergency, we will never turn any patient away! Please call us first to let the doctor know the type and severity of your emergency so we can begin preparing for your pet’s arrival.
