Puppy & Kitten Care

Getting your new puppy or kitten off to a healthy start sets the stage for their lives as healthy adults. Regular physical examinations, core and elective vaccinations, fecal testing for parasites, and deworming are all important elements of ensuring good health for your puppy or kitten. Spaying and neutering are additional topics to consider; the appropriate age for the timing of sterilization surgery may vary upon the species and breed of your pet. Last but not least, you’ll also want to figure out what flea, tick and heartworm preventative works best for you. We realize that adding a new family pet can come with lots of questions… but don’t forget, we’re here to help, so please don’t hesitate to call.

Wellness Care

Preventive care is the key to helping your pet live a long, healthy life. Because pets age faster than people, regular wellness exams are essential for detecting health concerns early and keeping them feeling their best.

During your pet’s exam, we perform a comprehensive physical assessment, discuss recommended vaccinations, parasite prevention, and routine screening tests based on your pet’s age and lifestyle. We’ll also provide guidance on nutrition, weight management, and exercise to help your pet thrive at every stage of life.

Senior Pet Care

Senior pets have unique healthcare needs and benefit from wellness exams every six months, especially after age seven. Regular checkups help detect age-related conditions such as arthritis, dental disease, heart, kidney, and liver disease, as well as hormonal disorders, before they become more serious.

We also monitor mobility, cognitive health, and overall comfort, recommending appropriate diagnostics, nutrition, supplements, and treatments to help your senior pet stay healthy, active, and comfortable throughout their golden years.

Parasite Control

Protect your dog or cat from deadly parasites, fleas and ticks that can cause heartworms and Lyme disease. Heartworms are easy to prevent in dogs and cats by a simple monthly pill or topical, however, very dangerous and costly to treat once the pet gets heartworms. Year-round Flea and Tick Prevention is also necessary to prevent transmission of disease.

Dr. Nicoletti has been seeing an up-tick in cases of Lyme and Anaplasmosis disease, so please be sure to take precautions for yourself and your pets while outdoors!

Pet Dental Care

Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in pets, affecting most by the age of three. Left untreated, it can cause pain, tooth loss, and even impact vital organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Regular dental exams help detect problems early. We provide oral health assessments, home dental care recommendations, and professional dental cleanings under anesthesia when needed, including dental X-rays, cleaning, polishing, and extractions if necessary. Maintaining your pet’s oral health is an important part of keeping them healthy and comfortable for years to come.

Diagnostic Care

When your pet is sick or injured, an accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. After a thorough physical exam and review of your pet’s history, we may recommend diagnostic testing to identify the underlying cause.

Our diagnostic services include in-house and reference laboratory testing, digital X-rays, ultrasound, microscopy, and specialized eye tests. These tools allow us to quickly evaluate illness or injury, develop an appropriate treatment plan, and provide your pet with the best possible care.

Surgery & Related Services

Whether your pet needs a routine procedure or a more advanced surgery, our experienced team is committed to providing safe, compassionate care every step of the way.

We offer a variety of surgical services, including spays and neuters, dental procedures, tumor removal, soft tissue surgery, endoscopy, biopsies, and laparoscopic surgery. Before surgery, we’ll perform a physical exam, discuss any recommended pre-operative testing, explain fasting instructions and the procedure, and review your pet’s recovery and aftercare with you.

Radiology Unit

Our modern digital X-ray equipment provides high-quality diagnostic images with minimal radiation exposure. Results are available within minutes, allowing Dr. Nicoletti to evaluate your pet and begin the most appropriate treatment.

Vaccinations
