Boulevard Animal Hospital

We provide thorough comprehensive physical exams to assess your pet’s overall health, including organ function, mobility, and early disease detection. These exams serve as the foundation for wellness plans, vaccinations, and preventative care, with personalized recommendations for nutrition, diagnostics, or lifestyle adjustments based on breed, age, and medical history.

Our wellness packages for puppies and kittens include core vaccinations, parasite prevention, deworming, and early socialization/dietary guidance. We focus on growth-stage-specific needs, such as weight management, spay/neuter counseling, and training for healthy development. Routine checkups ensure early intervention for issues like congenital defects or behavioral concerns.

For senior pets, we offer age-specific wellness care with tailored exams to detect early signs of chronic diseases (e.g., arthritis, dental disease, or organ decline). Services include bloodwork, dental cleanings, pain management, and dietary adjustments to extend quality and comfort in their golden years. We also provide mobility assessments and proactive care planning.

We administer core vaccinations (rabies, distemper, parvovirus, etc.) as part of routine preventive medicine to protect against contagious, often fatal diseases. Vaccination schedules are customized based on lifestyle, travel history, and exposure risks. We provide detailed counseling on vaccine safety, immunity timelines, and booster recommendations to keep your pet safeguarded year-round.

We provide annual heartworm testing via in-house diagnostics and prescribe preventative medications tailored to your pet’s weight and climate risks. Heartworm disease is life-threatening, but our prevention programs, combined with monitoring, ensure long-term protection. We also offer testing for other tick-borne diseases during wellness exams.

Our hospital develops customized flea and tick prevention programs, including oral, topical, or injectable treatments based on your pet’s activity level and environment. We review monthly products, yard treatments, and pet-specific solutions to eliminate infestations and prevent secondary diseases like Lyme or Ehrlichia.

We offer microchipping and registration services using advanced subcutaneous implants to ensure permanent identification if your pet is lost. Our microchips integrate with national databases and are scanned with every visit to verify your contact information is current. This is a crucial step in reuniting pets with owners.

Our dietary counseling addresses all life stages, from puppies to seniors, covering growth, weight management, and performance diets. We assess body condition scores, prescribe therapeutic diets (e.g., kidney support or allergies), and monitor progress with follow-up exams. Weight management is critical for preventing diabetes, joint issues, and organ strain.

We provide deworming treatments for intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, hookworms) through fecal testing and targeted medications. Fecal testing is recommended 2–4 times yearly, especially for puppies, outdoor pets, or those showing signs like diarrhea or weight loss. Preventative protocols extend to heartworms and protozoa like giardia.

Our behavioral counseling addresses issues such as aggression, anxiety, excess barking, house soiling, and destructive chewing through personalized plans. We may combine medication (e.g., for separation anxiety), training techniques, or environmental modifications. Counseling is available in-clinic and via follow-up support to adapt strategies to your pet’s progress.

We perform in-house bloodwork, including complete blood counts (CBCs) and chemistry panels, using our IDEXX lab for same-day results. This allows rapid diagnosis of infections, organ dysfunction (liver/kidney panels), thyroid issues, and pancreatic problems, enabling timely treatment. Specialized tests like heartworm antigen or bile acids are also available on-site.

Our in-house urinalysis screens for urinary tract infections, crystals, kidney disease, and diabetes through dipstick and microscopic evaluations. Results guide treatment for conditions like bladder stones, incontinence, or metabolic disorders. We recommend annual urinalysis for seniors and pets with chronic issues to monitor kidney function proactively.

We offer fecal testing to detect intestinal parasites (e.g., worms, giardia) and assess gut health. Testing intervals depend on risk factors (e.g., puppies, outdoor exposure), and we provide deworming protocols or environmental treatments based on findings. Fecal samples are processed in-house or sent to external labs for specialized diagnostics.

Our digital X-ray services enable immediate imaging for fractures, tumors, organ abnormalities, and dental issues, with transferable files for specialist consultations if needed. We prioritize low-radiation techniques and provide detailed reports to explain findings and treatment paths, from splinting a broken leg to diagnosing respiratory infections.

We offer ultrasound imaging via mobile radiologists for non-invasive evaluation of abdominal organs, pregnancy monitoring, heart conditions, and guided biopsies or aspirations. Ultrasounds help diagnose ascites (fluid), masses, or pregnancy status without sedation in most cases, with results shared during the appointment for immediate discussion.

We perform routine and advanced spay (ovariohysterectomy) and neuter (castration) surgeries to promote reproductive health and reduce disease risks. Procedures are conducted under strict anesthetic monitoring with vital sign tracking to ensure safety, especially for high-risk patients. We also address pre- and post-surgery needs, such as nail trims or mole removals, during the appointment for convenience.

We specialize in the surgical removal of foreign bodies, such as ingested objects or environmental debris, using minimally invasive techniques when possible. Emergency imaging (X-ray/ultrasound) guides localization, and our general surgery team performs retrievals with anesthesia monitoring. Prompt treatment prevents complications like perforations or obstructions.

Our C-section services are available for complex deliveries requiring surgical intervention, such as dystocia or fetal complications. We provide round-the-clock monitoring and a surgical specialist (Dr. Paul Cechner, DACVS) for orthopedic and high-risk deliveries, ensuring the health of both mother and puppies/kittens. Recovery care includes postpartum evaluations and pain management to support optimal healing.

We provide vesicular flushes and cystotomy surgeries to remove bladder stones, often supplemented by ultrasound guidance. Post-operative care includes pain management, urinary acidifying diets, and follow-up urine cultures to prevent recurrence. We recommend bladder stone analysis to determine underlying causes (e.g., diet, metabolism).

Our veterinarians perform surgical repair of prolapsed gland tissue (cherry eye) using pocketing or tacking techniques, restoring normal tear production and preventing chronic irritation. Post-procedure, we provide antibiotic ointments and instructions to minimize swelling. Complications are rare but managed with follow-up exams.

In emergencies, we provide stabilization protocols, including oxygen support, IV fluid resuscitation, and pain management for trauma, poisonings, or acute illnesses. Our team collaborates with specialists (e.g., Dr. Cechner for complex cases) to ensure pets receive immediate, life-saving care before full diagnostics or surgery are pursued.

We provide 24-hour hospitalization with dedicated nursing care for pets recovering from surgery, poisonings, or critical illnesses. Our facility includes IV therapy, pain management, and constant monitoring (vitals, mental status) to ensure stability. Family updates and at-home instructions are provided prior to discharge for continued care.

For pets requiring oxygen therapy, we provide nasal cannulas, cages, or cage-free systems to support respiration during emergencies (e.g., smoke inhalation), post-anesthesia, or chronic lung diseases like collapse trachea. Our hospital is equipped to monitor oxygen saturation and adjust therapy based on real-time needs.

We administer IV fluid therapy for dehydration, shock, post-surgery recovery, or kidney/liver disease, with close monitoring of hydration status and electrolyte balance. Fluids are tailored to the condition (e.g., lactated Ringer’s for trauma, plasma for clotting disorders) and may include subcutaneous or oral supplementation for mild cases.

We provide comprehensive pain management for both acute and chronic conditions, tailored to each patient’s needs. Our modalities include pharmaceutical pain relievers, physical therapies, and post-operative care to ensure comfort during recovery from surgery, injury, or illness (e.g., arthritis, dental disease, or cancer). We emphasize early intervention to improve mobility, reduce stress, and enhance your pet’s quality of life at every stage.

During anesthesia (e.g., for spay/neuter), we offer additional services, including nail trimming, mole removal, and coat clipping, to streamline care. Post-surgery, we provide nail dremeling and anal gland expression to prevent common issues. For pets with medical fur needs (e.g., dermatitis), we perform sanitary shaves or medicated baths as part of treatment plans.

We provide Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM) and Veterinary Neuronal Adjustment (VNA), a non-invasive technique to address vertebral subluxations, spinal misalignments, and related conditions like arthritis, allergies, and mobility issues. Our services include manual and automatic activators like Vetrostim to restore function, alleviate pain, and improve quality of life for dogs and cats. Treatments are tailored to conditions such as hip dysplasia, neck pain, and inflammatory disorders, often delivering remarkable results in mobility and overall wellness.

We offer homeopathic services, including consultations to assess your pet’s unique symptoms using natural remedies derived from plants, herbs, and minerals. Our practitioners follow the principle of *'like cures like'*, administering minute doses of remedies to stimulate the body’s vital force and promote self-healing. This approach targets the root cause of illness while supporting the immune system, offering an alternative for chronic or complex conditions where conventional treatments may have limitations.
