Animal & Bird Clinic of Mission Viejo

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for dogs and cats, assessing overall health through temperature checks, eye/ear evaluations, dental inspections, skin assessments, heart/lung auscultation, and joint mobility. Our exams follow AVMA/AAHA guidelines while customizing recommendations based on age, breed, lifestyle, and medical history.

We offer tailored Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to ensure young pets start life strong. These include core vaccinations, parasite prevention, nutritional guidance, and developmental health assessments to build a foundation for lifelong wellness.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care programs focus on proactive aging management through comprehensive exams, early disease detection (e.g., bloodwork), pain assessment, and personalized care plans to enhance quality of life for senior dogs and cats.

We administer Core Vaccinations including rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and Leptospirosis to protect pets from life-threatening diseases. Our vaccination protocols follow AAHA guidelines and are customized based on individual risk factors.

We offer Heartworm Testing & Prevention through annual screenings and year-round preventive medications to protect dogs from this deadly parasitic disease. Early detection and prevention are key components of our preventive care philosophy.

Our clinic provides Flea & Tick Prevention solutions, including topical treatments, oral medications, and environmental control strategies to keep pets parasite-free year-round. We tailor recommendations based on local risk factors.

We implant Microchips for permanent pet identification and register them in national databases (e.g., HomeAgain, AKC) to ensure reunification if pets are lost. Microchipping is a quick, safe procedure offered during wellness visits.

Our veterinarians provide Nutritional Counseling and Weight Management plans to address obesity or dietary deficiencies. We offer personalized diet recommendations, portion control guidance, and weight-loss monitoring for optimal health.

We perform Parasite Deworming treatments to eliminate intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. Fecal testing is conducted during wellness exams to guide targeted deworming protocols.

Our on-site laboratory enables In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, for rapid diagnosis of infections, organ function, diabetes, kidney/liver disease, and other systemic conditions.

We offer Urinalysis to screen for urinary tract infections, crystals, kidney disease, and metabolic disorders. This diagnostic tool is often included in senior wellness panels or when symptoms like blood in urine or straining are reported.

Our Fecal Testing services detect intestinal parasites (e.g., giardia, coccidia) and assess digestive health. Results guide deworming treatments and inform preventive care strategies for pets of all ages.

We utilize Digital X-Rays to diagnose fractures, foreign objects, arthritis, heart/lung conditions, and abdominal issues. Our in-house radiology allows for same-day results and tailored treatment plans.

Our clinic provides Ultrasound Imaging to evaluate organ health (e.g., liver, spleen, kidneys), pregnancy monitoring, fluid accumulation, and masses. Ultrasounds are performed by experienced veterinarians for accurate diagnostics.

We conduct Allergy Testing, including intradermal skin tests or blood panels, to identify environmental (e.g., pollen) or food allergies in pets. Results guide elimination diets or immunotherapy plans for long-term symptom management.

As part of senior or comprehensive exams, we perform Eye Pressure Testing to screen for glaucoma and other ocular diseases. Early detection helps prevent vision loss through medical or surgical intervention.

We monitor Blood Pressure in pets, particularly seniors or those with heart/kidney disease, using non-invasive equipment. Elevated readings may indicate hypertension requiring dietary changes or medications.

Our clinic offers EKG/ECG services to evaluate heart rhythm and diagnose conditions like arrhythmias, congenital defects, or heart disease. Results inform treatment plans, including medications or specialized care.

During dental cleanings or oral evaluations, we take Dental X-Rays to detect hidden fractures, root infections, or tooth resorption. This allows for targeted treatment like extractions or root canals when needed.

We perform Tooth Extractions for severely decayed, fractured, or diseased teeth under anesthesia with strict pain management protocols. Post-operative care instructions ensure smooth recovery.

Our clinic offers Spay & Neuter Surgery to prevent unwanted litters and reduce risks of mammary cancer, pyometra (infections), and testicular tumors. Procedures are performed with modern surgical techniques and pain management.

During office hours, we provide Emergency Stabilization for acute issues like trauma, poisoning, or severe illness. Our team assesses vital signs, administers fluids/medications, and prepares pets for advanced care if needed.

For pets requiring overnight care (e.g., post-surgery, chronic illness), we offer Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring with IV fluids, pain management, and continuous observation by our staff.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy to correct dehydration, support kidney function, or maintain hydration during illness/surgery. Fluids are tailored to each pet’s needs with close monitoring for effectiveness.

Our Pain Management protocols include preemptive analgesia (for surgeries), oral/transdermal medications, and post-operative care plans to ensure pets recover comfortably without distress.

In cases of poisoning or toxin exposure, we provide Poison & Toxin Treatment, including induced vomiting (when safe), activated charcoal, IV fluids, and supportive care to counteract ingested hazards like chocolate, lilies, or rodenticides.

We offer Medical Grooming services such as Sanitary Shave, Nail Trimming & Dremeling, and Anal Gland Expression to address skin conditions, overgrown nails, or impacted anal glands—critical for hygiene and comfort.

Our Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation programs include hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill), massage, and targeted exercises to restore mobility in pets recovering from surgery, injury, or managing conditions like arthritis.

We offer Hydrotherapy using an underwater treadmill to provide low-impact exercise for pets with joint issues, post-surgical recovery, or obesity. The buoyancy reduces strain while improving strength and circulation.

Our certified staff provides Massage Therapy to alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance relaxation in pets with chronic pain, mobility issues, or anxiety.

We provide Standard Pet Boarding for cats and dogs in clean, spacious facilities with daily walks (for dogs), fresh bedding, individualized care, and veterinary attention if needed. Boarding requirements include up-to-date vaccinations and parasite prevention.

During end-of-life discussions, we conduct Quality of Life Assessments using tools like the HHHHHMM scale to evaluate pain, mobility, appetite, and happiness. This guides decisions about palliative care or euthanasia with compassion.

We provide Telemedicine Consultations for minor ailments, prescription refills, or follow-up care via secure video calls. This convenient option reduces travel stress while ensuring pets receive timely medical advice.
