Our List of Comprehensive Specialty Services
We offer a variety of specialty services for dogs to address both common and complex health concerns. Our services include:
- Laser Treatments: Cutting-edge laser therapy helps reduce pain and inflammation and promotes faster healing, especially in cases of arthritis, soft-tissue injuries, and post-surgery recovery.
- Abdominal Ultrasounds: Ultrasound technology provides non-invasive imaging to assess your dog’s internal organs and help diagnose issues such as tumors, kidney disease, and gastrointestinal problems.

- Neurology: Our specialists treat neurological conditions, such as seizures, spinal issues, and nerve problems, using advanced diagnostic equipment and treatment plans tailored to your dog’s specific needs.
Laser Treatments: Non-invasive Pain Relief
Laser treatments are a powerful, non-invasive method for treating a variety of health issues in dogs. Laser therapy promotes healing and reduces pain and inflammation by increasing blood flow to the treated area and stimulating cell regeneration. It’s commonly used for conditions such as:
- Arthritis: Laser therapy helps alleviate joint pain and stiffness in dogs with arthritis, improving mobility and comfort.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Whether from a sprain, strain, or post-surgical recovery, laser therapy helps speed up tissue healing and reduces discomfort.
- Inflammation: Laser treatments can reduce inflammation in affected areas, providing relief from chronic pain and discomfort.
Abdominal Ultrasounds: Internal Imaging for Early Detection
Abdominal ultrasounds are crucial for diagnosing issues in your dog's internal organs, such as the liver, kidneys, spleen, and intestines. Ultrasounds provide clear, real-time images of your dog’s abdominal area, allowing us to detect conditions that might otherwise go unnoticed. Common reasons we perform abdominal ultrasounds include:
- Tumors: Detecting masses or abnormal growths in the abdominal organs, allowing us to plan for further treatment or surgery.
- Organ Dysfunction: Identifying signs of kidney or liver disease, gastrointestinal issues, or urinary tract problems before they become severe.
- Fluid Accumulation: Ultrasound can help detect fluid buildup, which could indicate infection, heart disease, or other conditions.
Early detection of these issues allows us to treat them proactively and prevent more serious complications down the line.
Cardiology to Keep Your Dog’s Heart Healthy
Heart disease is a common concern for aging dogs, but it can affect dogs of all ages. Our cardiology services focus on diagnosing and managing heart conditions to help your dog maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. We offer:
- Diagnostic Testing: We use tools such as ECGs, echocardiograms, and blood tests to detect heart disease, arrhythmias, and other cardiac conditions.
- Treatment Plans: Once diagnosed, we work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that may include medication, dietary adjustments, or surgical interventions, if needed.
- Ongoing Care: Heart disease often requires lifelong management. We provide regular check-ups to monitor your dog’s heart health and adjust treatment as needed.
By providing early detection and treatment, we can help your dog live a longer, healthier life with fewer complications related to heart disease.
Treating Spinal and Nerve Issues With Neurology
Neurological conditions, such as seizures, spinal issues, and nerve problems, can significantly affect your dog’s quality of life. Our neurology services are designed to diagnose and treat these complex issues with the latest technology and methods. Common neurological conditions we treat include:
- Seizures: We provide diagnostic testing to determine the cause of seizures and recommend treatment options to manage the condition.
- Spinal Conditions: If your dog is experiencing back pain or difficulty walking, we offer spinal exams and imaging to diagnose conditions such as disc disease, spinal cord injury, or nerve compression.
- Movement Disorders: Conditions like tremors or abnormal gait are diagnosed through neurological exams and treated with medication or therapy.
Our neurologists use advanced diagnostic tools like MRIs and CT scans to get to the root of the issue, allowing us to provide the best possible care for your dog’s condition.
