Riverside Animal Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for dogs and cats, assessing their overall health through detailed evaluations of general condition, coat/skin, face/head (including eyes, ears, nose), internal organs (heart, lungs, abdomen), and nutritional status. Our exams empower pet owners with insights into preventive care and early detection of potential issues.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages tailored to their critical first year. These include physical exams, age-appropriate vaccinations (e.g., DHPP for puppies), deworming medication, parasite prevention, and educational resources like 'puppy/kitten kits' with samples and care guidelines.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on geriatric pets (7+ years) through customized wellness exams, early detection of age-related conditions (e.g., arthritis, heart disease), and proactive treatments. We recommend additional lab tests to monitor organ function and adjust care plans as needed.

We administer Core Vaccinations for dogs (e.g., Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus) and cats (e.g., FVRCP) as part of our preventive care plans. These vaccines are essential for protecting pets from life-threatening diseases and are included in our wellness packages.

We offer Heartworm Testing annually (included in wellness plans) and year-round prevention medications to protect dogs from this deadly parasite transmitted by mosquitoes. Cats can also be tested for heartworm disease.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention programs include monthly medications (e.g., oral or topical treatments) and environmental control recommendations to safeguard pets from parasites that cause discomfort, allergies, and diseases like Lyme.

We provide Microchipping as a permanent form of identification for lost pets. The procedure is quick and painless, and we register the chip in national databases to increase the chances of reuniting pets with their owners.

During wellness exams, we offer personalized Nutritional Counseling to assess your pet’s diet and recommend weight management plans. Our team helps tailor feeding schedules, portion sizes, and dietary changes for optimal health.

We perform Parasite Deworming to treat intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. Fecal exams are conducted during wellness visits to detect infections early.

We provide Behavioral Counseling for pets exhibiting issues like aggression, anxiety, or unwanted behaviors (e.g., excessive barking). Our vets offer guidance on training techniques and environmental modifications to improve quality of life.

Our in-house lab performs In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to diagnose illnesses, monitor chronic conditions, and assess organ function. Results are available quickly for timely treatment decisions.

We conduct Urinalysis as part of diagnostic testing to evaluate kidney health, detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), or identify metabolic diseases like diabetes. This test is included in senior pet wellness exams and pre-surgery evaluations.

We offer Fecal Testing to screen for intestinal parasites, including roundworms, hookworms, and giardia. Annual fecal exams are recommended for all pets and are included in our wellness plans.

Our clinic uses Digital X-Rays to diagnose conditions like broken bones, arthritis, bladder stones, spinal issues, and tumors. Digital radiography provides immediate results with lower radiation exposure than traditional X-rays.

We perform Ultrasound Imaging to visualize internal organs (e.g., heart, liver, kidneys) in real-time. This non-invasive tool helps diagnose pregnancies, tumors, organ abnormalities, and guide biopsies or surgeries.

Our Digital Dental X-Rays reveal hidden dental issues like root infections, bone loss, or fractures below the gum line. These images guide treatments such as extractions or periodontal therapy.

We perform Tooth Extractions for severely decayed, fractured, or diseased teeth under anesthesia. Post-operative care instructions are provided to ensure a smooth recovery and pain management.

Our clinic offers Oral Surgery for complex dental procedures, including periodontal disease treatment, jaw fractures, and tumor removals. We use advanced techniques to minimize discomfort and promote healing.

We provide Spay & Neuter Surgery for dogs and cats to prevent unwanted litters and reduce risks of cancers (e.g., mammary tumors, testicular cancer) and behavioral issues like roaming or aggression.

We specialize in Foreign Body Removal, using endoscopy or surgery to safely extract objects ingested or lodged in the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, or skin.

Our team repairs Wounds & Lacerations with sutures, staples, or advanced wound management techniques. We monitor healing progress and prescribe antibiotics or pain medications as needed.

We perform Bladder Stone Removal via cystotomy surgery to alleviate obstruction and pain in pets with urinary stones. Post-operative care includes dietary adjustments and monitoring for recurrence.

We provide Emergency Stabilization during business hours for critical cases like trauma, poisoning, or severe illness. Our team administers IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and pain management while preparing pets for advanced care if needed.

We offer Oxygen Therapy to support pets with respiratory distress, post-anesthesia recovery, or chronic conditions like heart disease. Oxygen cages and monitoring ensure safe administration.

Our clinic provides IV Fluid Therapy for dehydration, shock, or kidney disease. Fluids are administered under veterinary supervision to restore hydration and electrolyte balance.

We offer comprehensive Pain Management using medications (e.g., NSAIDs, opioids), laser therapy, and physical rehabilitation tailored to your pet’s condition. Post-surgical pain control is a priority.

In cases of Poison & Toxin Exposure, we induce vomiting (if safe), administer activated charcoal, and provide IV fluids or medications to counteract toxins. Immediate action is critical for recovery.

We perform Sanitary Shaves around wounds, surgical sites, or areas requiring hygiene (e.g., anal gland issues). This preparation aids healing and reduces infection risks.

We provide Anal Gland Expression to relieve impacted glands in dogs, a common cause of discomfort or scooting. This procedure is performed during routine exams if needed.

We use Cold Laser Therapy to reduce pain, inflammation, and promote healing for conditions like arthritis, wounds, or post-surgical recovery. Sessions are non-invasive and drug-free.

Our Physical Therapy services include laser therapy, hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill), and customized exercise plans to aid recovery from injuries or surgeries.

We conduct Quality of Life Assessments for pets with chronic or terminal illnesses to evaluate pain, mobility, appetite, and happiness. This guides decisions about palliative care or euthanasia.
