Preventive & Wellness Care
Regular wellness visits are one of the best ways to keep your pet healthy and catch problems early — before they become serious or expensive.
Comprehensive Wellness Exams
A thorough nose-to-tail examination that looks at your pet’s overall health, including eyes, ears, skin, coat, heart, lungs, abdomen, and joints.
- Life-stage appropriate recommendations
- Weight and body condition assessment
- Discussion of diet, behavior, and lifestyle
What to expect: Most wellness exams take about 20–30 minutes. We’ll discuss your concerns, examine your pet, and review any recommended vaccines or preventive care before you leave.
Why it matters: Many serious conditions start with subtle changes. Early detection gives us the best chance to treat successfully.
Vaccinations
Core and lifestyle vaccines tailored to your pet’s age, risk factors, and daily life (indoor vs outdoor, boarding, travel, etc.).
What to expect: We’ll review your pet’s vaccine history and only recommend what’s needed. Most vaccines are given quickly during the exam with minimal discomfort.
Why it matters: Vaccines protect against serious and potentially fatal diseases such as rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukemia.
Parasite Prevention
Year-round protection against heartworms, fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites.
What to expect: We’ll help you choose the right preventive based on your pet’s lifestyle and make sure you understand how and when to give it. Many options are available through our Online Pharmacy for convenient home delivery.
Why it matters: Heartworm disease is common in Louisiana and is much easier (and far less expensive) to prevent than to treat.
Diagnostics
When your pet isn’t feeling well, accurate information helps us make the right decisions quickly.
Laboratory Testing
In-house and reference lab blood work, urinalysis, fecal testing, and other diagnostics.
- Pre-anesthetic blood screens
- Senior wellness panels
- Illness investigation
What to expect: Some tests can be run in the hospital the same day. Others are sent to a reference lab, and we’ll call you with results as soon as they’re available.
Imaging
Radiographs (X-rays) to evaluate bones, chest, and abdomen when needed.
What to expect: Most X-rays are completed the same day. We’ll review the images with you and explain what we see in plain language.
Surgery
We perform a range of soft tissue and routine surgical procedures with careful attention to safety and comfort.
Spay & Neuter
Routine sterilization procedures that help prevent unwanted litters and can reduce certain health and behavior risks.
What to expect: Your pet will typically drop off in the morning and go home the same day. We’ll give you clear home-care instructions and a number to call if you have any concerns after surgery.
Soft Tissue Surgery
Mass removals, laceration repairs, and other soft tissue procedures performed with modern monitoring.
What to expect: We’ll discuss the procedure, risks, and aftercare with you beforehand. Your pet is carefully monitored under anesthesia, and we focus on good pain control during recovery.
Safety focus: We prioritize careful anesthesia monitoring and post-operative pain control.
Dentistry
Oral health has a big impact on your pet’s overall comfort and long-term health.
Professional Dental Cleanings
Thorough cleaning above and below the gumline under anesthesia, along with a complete oral examination.
What to expect: Dental procedures are usually day surgeries. We’ll examine the mouth, clean the teeth, and discuss any extractions teeth or follow-up care before your pet goes home.
Why it matters: Dental disease is extremely common and can cause pain, tooth loss, and even affect internal organs if left untreated.
Advanced Treatments
We stock modern treatments that many local clinics do not carry — important when time matters.
Parvo Monoclonal Antibody
Targeted support for dogs fighting canine parvovirus. Most useful when started early and used alongside intensive supportive care.
- Available here — many nearby clinics do not stock this
- Best results when treatment begins quickly
- Vaccination is still the best prevention
Call us if: Your dog (especially a puppy) has vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or loss of appetite. Don’t wait.
Why it matters: Parvo moves fast. Having this treatment on hand can make a real difference in survival and recovery time.
Antivenin for Snakebites
Antivenin for venomous snakebites — relevant for pets in Louisiana. Time matters when a bite is suspected.
- Stocked in clinic for serious envenomation
- Most effective when given promptly
- Signs can include swelling, pain, weakness, or bleeding
Call us if: You see or suspect a snakebite. Do not wait to “see if it gets better.”
Why it matters: Antivenin is the specific treatment that neutralizes venom. Not every clinic keeps it on the shelf.
