Rio Verde Animal Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams during every wellness visit, evaluating your pet’s overall health through body condition assessments, heart and lung auscultation, abdominal palpation, mobility checks, and detailed examinations of eyes, ears, teeth, coat, and more. Our goal is to detect early signs of illness or discomfort.

We offer tailored Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages that include growth monitoring, age-appropriate vaccinations (Core and Lifestyle), parasite prevention, and developmental guidance. These packages ensure your young pet starts life strong with proper preventive care.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on geriatric-specific needs, including chronic disease management, pain relief, mobility assessments, and tailored nutrition plans. We prioritize early detection of age-related conditions like arthritis, dental disease, kidney issues, and cognitive decline to enhance your senior pet’s quality of life.

We administer Core Vaccinations for dogs (rabies, distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus) and cats (rabies, FVRCP—feline herpesvirus, calicivirus, panleukopenia). These vaccines are essential for protecting your pet against life-threatening diseases and are required by law in many areas.

We offer Heartworm Testing & Prevention through annual screenings and preventive medications. Heartworm disease, transmitted by mosquitoes, can be fatal if untreated—our proactive approach keeps your pet safe year-round.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention programs include monthly treatments tailored to your pet’s needs. We recommend options that protect against infestations, allergies, and disease transmission (e.g., Lyme disease), ensuring your pet stays comfortable and healthy.

We provide Microchipping & Registration services to permanently identify your pet. In case of loss or theft, our microchips increase the likelihood of a safe return home by linking to your contact information in national databases.

Our Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services include personalized diet plans for all life stages, from puppies/kittens to seniors. We address allergies, chronic illnesses (e.g., diabetes, kidney disease), and weight issues to optimize your pet’s health and longevity.

We perform Parasite Deworming for intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. Regular fecal testing and targeted treatments are part of our preventive care to eliminate parasites and protect your pet’s digestive health.

Our Behavioral Counseling services address common issues like anxiety, aggression, or house training. We work with you to develop customized behavior modification plans, ensuring a harmonious relationship between you and your pet.

We conduct In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to monitor organ function, detect infections, or diagnose underlying conditions. Early detection allows for timely intervention and better outcomes.

Our Urinalysis services help identify urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, or crystals in your pet’s urine. This diagnostic tool is crucial for early detection of metabolic or infectious issues affecting overall health.

We offer Fecal Testing to screen for intestinal parasites (e.g., giardia, coccidia) and assess digestive health. Regular testing is key to preventing parasitic infections that can cause discomfort or systemic illness.

Our clinic uses Digital X-Rays for advanced imaging of bones, joints, organs, and internal structures. This non-invasive tool helps diagnose fractures, bone disease, joint issues, or foreign objects, guiding precise treatment plans.

We provide Ultrasound Imaging to visualize soft tissues, organs (e.g., heart, liver, kidneys), and pregnancies. Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive way to detect abnormalities like tumors, cysts, or fluid buildup without radiation exposure.

We use Dental X-Rays to assess hidden dental problems such as root infections, fractures, or bone loss. These images allow us to detect issues not visible during a visual exam and plan appropriate treatments like extractions or fillings.

We perform Tooth Extractions for severely decayed, infected, or fractured teeth under anesthesia. This procedure alleviates pain, prevents infection spread, and maintains your pet’s oral health and overall well-being.

We offer Emergency Stabilization for critical conditions like trauma, poisoning, or sudden illness. Our goal is to quickly assess and treat life-threatening issues (e.g., IV fluids, oxygen therapy) before further diagnostic testing.

For pets requiring intensive care, we provide Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring. Our team oversees recovery from surgery, chronic disease management, or acute illnesses with continuous observation and tailored treatment plans.

We administer Oxygen Therapy to pets suffering from respiratory distress, post-anesthesia recovery, or conditions like pneumonia. Oxygen supplementation helps stabilize breathing and supports healing during critical periods.

Our IV Fluid Therapy is used to rehydrate pets with dehydration, kidney disease, or post-surgery needs. Fluids restore electrolyte balance, improve circulation, and support organ function during recovery.

We offer comprehensive Pain Management for acute (e.g., post-surgery) or chronic conditions (e.g., arthritis). Our approach includes medications, laser therapy, physical rehabilitation, and personalized care plans to improve your pet’s comfort.

Our Medical Grooming services include sanitary shaves, nail trimming/dremeling, anal gland expression, and medicated baths for skin conditions. These procedures promote hygiene, prevent infections, and address specific health concerns.

We provide Anal Gland Expression to relieve discomfort caused by impacted or infected anal glands. This service is essential for pets prone to scooting, licking their rear, or showing signs of pain during bowel movements.

We utilize Laser Therapy to reduce pain, inflammation, and accelerate healing for conditions like arthritis, post-surgical recovery, wounds, or hip dysplasia. This non-invasive treatment promotes cellular repair without drugs.

Our Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation programs include exercises, hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill), and massage to restore mobility in pets recovering from surgery or managing chronic pain. We tailor plans to each pet’s needs for optimal recovery.

We provide Quality of Life Assessments to evaluate your senior or chronically ill pet’s comfort, mobility, appetite, and happiness. This helps guide difficult decisions about palliative care or end-of-life options with compassion.

We provide Telemedicine Consultations for minor concerns, medication refills, or follow-ups. This virtual option saves time while ensuring your pet receives prompt advice from our veterinary team.
