Vail Valley Animal Hospital Edwards

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages, assessing overall health through nose-to-tail evaluations, including weight, mobility, organ function (heart, lungs, abdomen), skin/coat condition, and dental/oral health. Our exams also evaluate microchip status and update vaccination records to ensure optimal preventive care.

We offer tailored Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed for early-life health, including core vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Parvo), parasite prevention (flea/tick/intestinal deworming), and developmental guidance. These packages support growth milestones while building a foundation for lifelong wellness.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care includes bi-annual comprehensive exams, advanced diagnostics (bloodwork, urinalysis), and personalized plans to address age-related conditions like arthritis, dental disease, or organ decline. We prioritize early detection and proactive management for senior pets aged 7+.

We administer Core Vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus for dogs; Rabies/FVRCP for cats) as part of routine wellness exams to protect against life-threatening diseases. These vaccines are essential for all pets and align with local/regional health regulations.

We provide annual Heartworm Testing and year-round prevention medications to safeguard pets against this deadly parasite. Early detection and proactive treatment are critical, especially in mosquito-prone areas like Colorado.

Our clinic offers Flea & Tick Prevention solutions tailored to your pet’s needs, including topical treatments, oral medications, and environmental control strategies. We address seasonal risks and year-round protection for optimal comfort and health.

We implant Microchips during wellness visits or surgeries to ensure pets can be identified if lost. Our team registers chips in national databases (e.g., HomeAgain, AKC) and updates contact information to maximize reunification chances.

Through Nutritional Counseling, we assess your pet’s diet, weight, and health goals (e.g., obesity management or dietary restrictions) and recommend balanced meal plans, supplements, or prescription diets to support long-term wellness.

We perform Parasite Deworming during exams or as part of wellness packages to eliminate intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, hookworms). Fecal testing guides treatment plans for pets of all ages and lifestyles.

Our clinic conducts In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to monitor organ function, detect diseases (e.g., diabetes, kidney/liver issues), and support pre-surgical safety. Results are available during your visit for timely decisions.

We offer Urinalysis as part of diagnostic testing to evaluate urinary health, screen for infections (UTIs), crystals, or kidney disease, and guide treatment plans. This is especially recommended for senior pets or those with symptoms like increased thirst or straining.

During wellness exams, we provide Fecal Testing to detect intestinal parasites (e.g., giardia, coccidia) and ensure effective deworming. We also use this testing for pets with digestive issues or those on preventive parasite programs.

Our clinic uses Digital X-Rays to diagnose conditions like fractures, arthritis, foreign objects, or organ abnormalities. Advanced imaging supports surgical planning and monitors chronic issues with high-resolution clarity.

As part of dental cleanings or oral exams, we take Dental X-Rays to identify hidden issues like root infections, fractured teeth, or bone loss. This allows us to address problems below the gumline that aren’t visible during a visual exam.

We perform Tooth Extractions for severely diseased, broken, or abscessed teeth under anesthesia. Our team uses dissolvable sutures to close extraction sites and provides post-op care instructions to ensure smooth recovery.

Our clinic offers Spay & Neuter Surgery as routine procedures to prevent unwanted litters, reduce cancer risks (e.g., mammary tumors), and manage behavioral issues. We use modern surgical techniques and provide pre-/post-op support for a safe experience.

We provide Emergency Stabilization for critical cases (e.g., trauma, poisoning) with IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and pain management to bridge pets to advanced care. Our team works closely with emergency specialists when needed.

For pets requiring overnight care (e.g., post-surgery or chronic conditions), we offer Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring with dedicated staff, IV therapy, and continuous health assessments to ensure safety and comfort.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy for dehydration, shock, or post-surgical recovery to restore hydration and electrolyte balance. Our team monitors fluid rates and responses closely to tailor treatment to each pet’s needs.

Our Pain Management services include preemptive and post-operative analgesia (e.g., injections, oral meds) to ensure pets experience minimal discomfort during procedures or chronic conditions like arthritis.

In cases of poisoning (e.g., chocolate, lilies, rodenticide), we provide Poison & Toxin Treatment, including induced vomiting, IV fluids, and supportive care. Early intervention improves recovery chances, so contact us immediately if exposure is suspected.

We offer Medical Grooming services like sanitary shaves (e.g., for urinary issues), nail trims/dremeling, and medicated baths to address skin conditions or post-surgical care. Our groomers follow veterinary recommendations for safe, therapeutic grooming.

For pets with urinary tract obstructions or excessive matting, we provide Sanitary Shaves to improve hygiene and comfort. This service is often recommended in conjunction with medical treatment for underlying conditions.

We perform Nail Trimming & Dremeling during wellness visits or as part of grooming packages to prevent overgrowth, splitting, or discomfort. Our team uses precise techniques to avoid injury and promote mobility.

For pets with impacted anal glands (common in small breeds), we offer Anal Gland Expression to relieve pain and prevent infections. This service is performed during exams or as needed based on symptoms like scooting or licking.

We conduct Quality of Life Assessments for senior or chronically ill pets using tools like the HHHHHMM scale (Happiness, Hunger, Hygiene, Mobility, etc.) to guide compassionate care decisions and improve end-of-life comfort.

For non-emergency concerns (e.g., medication refills, minor ailments), we provide Telemedicine Consultations via our app or website. This service offers quick access to veterinary advice without an in-person visit.
