Our Services

Annual wellness exams for pets are an important part of any preventative health care program. They allow for early detection of many conditions such as heart disease, dental disease, cataracts, diabetes, arthritis, spinal issues, and many others; not to mention the best news any guardian can hear from their veterinarian… your pet is both happy and healthy. During your pet’s annual physical exam, your veterinarian will fully examine your pet and discuss vaccinations and ongoing wellness. Just like you do wellness visits with your doctor, it’s important that your pet does the same. During these visits, our team will spend time examining your pet from nose to tail. We will work with you to develop the ideal vaccination schedule and nutrition based on your pet’s individual needs, age, and lifestyle. Schedule an appointment with us today!

Vaccinations are an important part of any preventative health care program. Vaccines contain small quantities of modified or “killed” viruses, bacteria, or other disease-causing organisms. When administered, they stimulate your pet’s immune system to produce disease-fighting cells and proteins – or antibodies- to protect against such diseases. We will make recommendations for vaccine schedules specific to their age, species, and breed during your pet’s wellness exam. We understand that a vaccine program should be tailored to your pet’s individual situation, and we follow the most up-to-date vaccination protocols based on your pet’s lifestyle and exposure.

You brush your teeth every single day, and you know how important it is for your health. How often do you think about your pet’s dental health? Probably not enough. Dental disease can lead to serious health issues with your pet, including heart problems.

According to the American Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS), 4 out of 5 dogs over the age of 3 have some sort of periodontal disease, leading to extra care and big bills, more than enough of a reason to start focusing on their dental health today.

We encourage all of our clients to participate in preventative oral hygiene programs such as brushing their pet’s teeth daily, dental chews, and the like. There are times when a patient may require in-patient dental procedures under anesthesia to properly manage more severe cases of periodontal and gum disease; a fractured tooth; a tooth root abscess or possibly an extraction.

Please don’t hesitate to schedule an exam with us today to get your pet’s dental health on the right track!

We perform everything from spays and neuters to bladder stone removal, lump removals, and many other procedures. Every patient is closely monitored using state-of-the-art digital monitors that provide real-time EKG, oxygen levels, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and temperature. All of our patients also receive pre-anesthesia blood screening to help us make your pet’s surgical procedure as safe and successful as possible.

We have a complete, state of the art in-house diagnostic IDEXX laboratory (including VetStat, Catalyst, Procyte, and Sedivue) that allows us to run everything from routine blood tests; fecal and urinary analysis; and microscopic cytology to more extensive tests to aid in diagnosing a more urgent illness when your family pet is feeling under the weather. With these machines, we are able to discover potential issues such as infection, decreased organ function, and diabetes. Best of all, the results are returned to us in minutes, allowing us to start treating your pet quickly.

At Pondview Animal Clinic, we offer several diagnostic imaging services, including digital x-ray, ultrasound, and endoscopy.

Radiology allows us to obtain x-rays that can be an important diagnostic tool for a variety of patient conditions, including lameness, coughing, heart disease, foreign body ingestion, constipation, and many other disorders that require more than a physical examination and blood tests to achieve a diagnosis. With this tool, we can take images of what is going on beneath the surface of your pet. Our digital x-ray also allows us to manipulate images, making it easier for us to see small problems such as hairline fractures. We are also able to email our x-rays to board-certified specialists for consultation.

We can perform ultrasounds to quickly peek at your pet’s internal organs, viewing them in real-time. With this tool, we can extract urine, check for blockages of the intestine, or discover bladder stones.

Endoscopy involves the use of either a rigid or flexible fiberoptic instrument to allow visual examination of the internal organs without invasive exploratory surgery. A small camera at the end of the endoscope provides images of the body’s internal structures, allowing the Internist to view disease processes and take biopsies for further diagnostics. It can often be used for foreign body removal as well. This procedure allows for a non-surgical alternative in some cases for pets that minimizes anesthesia time and allows for a shorter recovery and hospital stay.

Countless beloved pets are lost or stolen every year, so we encourage that all pets be identifiable by a microchip registered with a national database to increase the number of lost pets reunited with their guardian(s). Microchipping is the placement of a small microchip under the skin of your pet beneath the shoulder blades. This microchip is equipped with a unique number that is registered to your contact information. If your pet is brought to a veterinary hospital or shelter, they will be able to scan the chip and contact you, reuniting you with your lost pet.
