Wellness Exams:
To protect the health of your pet, we recommend a visit to us for an annual wellness exam. These visits can be done with or without vaccines, and include a complimentary nail trim. We also recommend your pet be tested for heartworm and tick-borne diseases, as - if a dose is missed, one tick or mosquito bite in between doses can take up to 6 months to show an infection. We also offer geriatric exams with routine blood screenings to stay on top of any potential underlying medical issues.
*Rabies: Required by law. It is a fatal infection affecting the central nervous system which is transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. All animals must be current on their Rabies vaccination in order to be seen at our hospital or have nail trims.
Vaccinations for Dogs:
Vaccinations For Cats:
Flea, Tick and Heartworm Prevention:
It's a fact: Lyme disease has increased in New Jersey. 1 in 20 dogs test positive, with a whopping 19,679 dogs who've tested positive in 2023 alone. Year-round care in the only preventative. Even in cold weather, ticks are prevalent as a tick feeds on its most common host: the ever-present deer.
Fleas are not only annoying, they can carry serious diseases and infest your home. Fleas may also cause skin allergies and can transmit other parasites, such as tapeworms to your dog or cat.
New Jersey has seen an increase of heartworm infections yearly, with 1 in 300 dogs testing positive. There has been 2,182 total cases for the year of 2023. Dogs need year-round protection for heartworm. It takes one mosquito bite to cause a parasite infestation. "It takes approximately 6 months after being bitten by an infected mosquito for a dog or cat to test positive for heartworms," per the American Heartworm Society™. Therefore, we recommend your pet be tested for heartworms every 12 months, especially if you have missed up to 2 months of heartworm preventative doses.
At our office, we provide you with a number of different options that suits both you and your pet's needs.

Our technician's will first remove the tartar and plaque, then our doctor will examine and pull any eroded, loose or diseased teeth. At the end of the dental a technician will polish your pet's teeth, leaving your pet with shiny teeth and fresh breath.

Allergy:
Allergies can be a pain for both you and your pet, to help solve this aggravating problem our office offers allergy testing. This test requires a small amount of blood that is sent to a laboratory and will test for food, environment, and insect allergens. The results can take anywhere for 4-6 weeks, and a medication is made specifically for your pet's allergies. This medication is an injectable, that is usually done at home on a weekly basis.
We also offer a daily oral medications or a 30 day injectable.

Laser therapy is effective in treating acute pain, chronic conditions such as arthritis pain and tendonitis, as well as post-operative pain, including routine spay and neuter surgeries.
