Vaccination & Immunization

Simply put, vaccinations are given to protect your pet against disease. During vaccination, a modified bacteria, parasite or virus is administered to your pet by injection or intra-nasally. The vaccination triggers an immune response within your pet’s body to protect against a specific disease.

Dental Care and Dentistry

Regular dental cleanings are important in maintaining not only your pet’s teeth but his or her overall health as well. Our Midmark dental unit includes an ultrasonic scaler, polisher, and drill. Scaling your pet’s teeth allows plaque buildup to be removed both above and below the gum line. Polishing is important as it creates a smooth tooth surface that is more resistant to future plaque buildup.

Health Examination and Certification

We can provided medical health certificates for your traveling needs. Our staff is experienced and trained to work with you on your travel requirements, vaccination and certification.

Blood Work and Disease Screening

Our in-house laboratory equipment allows our veterinarians to learn information regarding your pet’s health quickly for a timely diagnosis. Diseases of the kidneys, liver, pancreas, as well as anemias, platelet counts and more can all be tested for and monitored right in our clinic. Further in-house testing includes heartworm disease, Giardia, Lyme, Ehrlichia, Parvovirus, Fecal parasite exams, Feline leukemia and FIV. Commercial veterinary laboratories are utilized for specialized diagnostics such as histopathology and consultations.

Heartworm, Flea and Tick

Medications used to prevent heartworm infections are called preventives.
Preventives kill the heartworm larvae before they have a chance to grow and mature into adult heartworms. A number of heartworm preventives are available to pet owners today. Some heartworm preventives contain additional ingredients that will control other parasites, such as roundworms or hookworms. A monthly preventive should be given to all pets. Remember that mosquitoes can get indoors, so even though your pet may not go outside, he is still susceptible.

Skin Disorder

Dermatology concerns and allergy problems
Skin allergies and itching are the second most common reason owners bring their dogs to veterinarians. It’s the 7th most common complaint from cat clients. And if you consider that ear infections and hotspots are often due to underlying allergies, allergic problems are the number one reason dog’s come to visit SPAH.
