Summerville Animal Hospital

We provide thorough nose-to-tail diagnostic physical exams to assess your pet’s overall health, catch early signs of illness, and address current conditions. Our exams include evaluations of skin/coat, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, heart rate, blood pressure, and organ function.

We offer specialized wellness packages for puppies and kittens, including age-appropriate immunizations, deworming medications, intestinal parasite testing, and comprehensive physical exams. Our team provides guidance on nutrition, behavior, and preventive care to ensure a healthy start in life.

We prioritize geriatric pets with tailored wellness plans that include routine checkups, early disease detection (e.g., cancer, heart/kidney conditions), and proactive treatments. Our vets monitor age-related issues like arthritis, diabetes, and organ dysfunction to extend your senior pet’s quality of life.

We administer essential core vaccinations for dogs (e.g., Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus) and cats (e.g., Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia) to protect against contagious diseases. Vaccination schedules are customized based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors.

We provide heartworm testing (annual blood tests) and preventive medications to protect your pet from this deadly parasite spread by mosquitoes. Early detection and prevention are critical for long-term heart health.

We offer flea, tick, and parasite prevention programs tailored to your pet’s needs, including oral/topical treatments and environmental control solutions. Regular monitoring ensures year-round protection against infestations.

We implant microchips (permanent ID) during wellness visits or surgeries to improve the chances of reuniting lost pets with their owners. We also register chips in national databases and provide owner updates on best practices.

Our vets assess your pet’s diet, weight, and health goals to recommend personalized nutrition plans or weight management strategies. We address obesity-related conditions (e.g., diabetes, joint issues) through dietary adjustments and exercise guidance.

We perform intestinal parasite testing (fecal exams) and deworming treatments for hookworms, roundworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. Regular screenings are included in puppy/kitten wellness packages and senior care plans.

We provide behavioral counseling for issues like anxiety, aggression, or excessive barking through consultations with our veterinary team. We collaborate with certified trainers or refer to specialists when needed.

Our clinic offers in-house bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, for early disease detection. Results are available quickly to guide treatment plans for conditions like diabetes or kidney disease.

We conduct urinalysis as part of wellness exams or diagnostic workups to screen for urinary tract infections, crystals, or kidney dysfunction. This test helps monitor your pet’s overall metabolic health.

Our fecal testing identifies intestinal parasites (e.g., giardia, coccidia) and ensures proper deworming. We recommend annual or semi-annual testing for all pets, especially those with digestive issues.

We use digital X-rays to diagnose fractures, dental disease, heart/lung conditions, and abdominal issues. Our team interprets images on-site for faster treatment decisions during emergencies or routine care.

Our dental X-rays reveal hidden issues like root infections, fractures, or tooth resorption not visible during a visual exam. These are included in comprehensive dental cleanings for thorough oral health assessment.

We perform tooth extractions for severely decayed, fractured, or diseased teeth under anesthesia. Post-operative care instructions ensure a smooth recovery and pain management.

Our clinic offers spay/neuter surgeries in sterile surgical suites to prevent unwanted litters and reduce risks of cancers (e.g., mammary tumors, testicular cancer). We provide pre- and post-operative care for optimal healing.

Our vets perform foreign body removal surgeries for ingested objects or lodged debris using X-rays or endoscopy. We prioritize minimally invasive procedures when possible to reduce recovery time.

We repair wounds and lacerations with sutures, staples, or advanced wound management techniques. Post-surgical care includes infection monitoring and pain control to promote healing.

During business hours, we provide emergency stabilization for critical cases like trauma, poisoning, or severe illness. Our team assesses vital signs, administers fluids/medications, and prepares pets for further care.

We offer hospitalization services with 24-hour monitoring for pets requiring intensive care (e.g., post-surgery, chronic illnesses). Our team adjusts treatments based on real-time health updates.

Our clinic provides IV fluid therapy to correct dehydration, support kidney function, or maintain hydration during illness/surgery. Fluids are administered under close veterinary supervision.

Our grooming team offers nail trims and dremeling to prevent overgrowth, splitting, or discomfort. We use careful techniques to avoid injury during the process.

Our standard boarding includes overnight stays with supervised care, daily walks (for dogs), and separate cat/dog areas for safety. We accommodate pets with routine exercise needs or socialization requirements.
