Services
Medicine
Our veterinary medicine services include comprehensive physical examinations and diagnostic testing for preventive and therapeutic care. We utilize in-house laboratory capabilities for rapid blood counts, urinalysis, and pre-surgical screening while partnering with reference labs for specialized testing. Annual wellness exams help maintain pet health through early disease detection.
Surgery
We perform routine and specialized surgical procedures with strict patient monitoring throughout the process. Our capabilities include spay/neuter operations, soft tissue surgeries, and orthopedic procedures for fractures and joint issues. Pre-surgical vaccinations and flea prevention requirements ensure optimal patient safety during hospital stays.
Emergency Services
After-hours emergency care is available through partner facilities while we prioritize timely appointments during regular hours. Our clinic coordinates with Tri-County Animal Emergency Clinic and University of Illinois Veterinary Medicine for 24/7 critical care access. Regular patients receive priority scheduling during business hours for urgent medical needs.
Parasite Prevention
We implement year-round parasite control programs following American Heartworm Society guidelines. Services include injectable heartworm prevention, flea/tick control, and intestinal parasite screening through annual fecal examinations. Prescription-grade preventatives require recent veterinary examinations to maintain valid client-patient relationships.
Microchipping
Permanent pet identification is provided through microchip implantation using ISO-standardized devices. The rice-sized chip gets placed between shoulder blades during routine visits or spay/neuter procedures. Most animal shelters and veterinary clinics maintain scanners to identify lost pets through this permanent tracking method.
