Kindness Animal Hospital (West), A Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner

We provide thorough nose-to-tail physical exams for dogs and cats, assessing hair, skin, eyes, ears, nose, face, mouth, teeth, breathing, stimuli response, and more to ensure optimal health. During these exams, we also update microchips if needed and evaluate recommended vaccines or booster shots.

We recommend twice-yearly wellness exams for senior pets (typically after age 7) to monitor their health closely. These include comprehensive physicals, bloodwork, and tailored care plans to address age-related concerns.

We administer core vaccinations for dogs (rabies, distemper, parvovirus) and cats (rabies, FVRCP/respiratory vaccines) to protect against common and potentially fatal diseases. These are a critical part of preventative care during wellness exams.

We provide heartworm testing and prevention programs to safeguard your pet against this serious, potentially fatal disease spread by mosquitoes. Consistent preventative care is key to maintaining heart health.

Our clinic offers flea and tick prevention treatments to protect pets from parasites that can cause itching, skin infections, tapeworms, Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, and more. We tailor solutions to your pet’s needs.

We provide microchipping services during wellness exams or as a standalone procedure, along with registration in national databases to ensure your pet can be identified and returned if lost. It’s a permanent form of identification.

During exams, we assess your pet’s weight and provide nutritional counseling to maintain a healthy diet and body condition. We offer guidance on portion control, food choices, and weight management plans.

We perform fecal testing and deworming treatments to detect and eliminate intestinal parasites, ensuring your pet’s digestive health. This is often recommended during annual or bi-annual wellness visits.

We conduct in-house bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to monitor organ function, detect early signs of disease (e.g., diabetes, kidney issues), and guide treatment plans for pets of all ages.

As part of diagnostic testing, we offer urinalysis to screen for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, crystals, or other abnormalities. This is often recommended during wellness exams, especially for senior pets.

We provide fecal testing to check for intestinal parasites (e.g., worms) and ensure your pet’s digestive system remains healthy. Samples can be submitted during routine visits or as needed.

Our clinic offers digital X-ray imaging to diagnose issues like fractures, arthritis, heart/lung conditions, abdominal problems, and dental disease. X-rays are often used in conjunction with physical exams or surgical planning.

We utilize ultrasound imaging for detailed internal evaluations, including organ health (heart, liver, kidneys), pregnancy monitoring, and fluid assessments. This non-invasive tool aids in accurate diagnoses.

We monitor blood pressure to detect conditions like hypertension, which can affect organs such as the heart and kidneys. This is particularly important for senior pets or those with chronic illnesses.

During dental cleanings or exams, we take digital dental X-rays to identify hidden issues like root infections, fractures, or abscesses that aren’t visible during a visual exam. This ensures comprehensive oral care.

We perform tooth extractions for severely diseased, fractured, or painful teeth to relieve discomfort and prevent infection. These are often done during dental cleanings under anesthesia.

We treat periodontal disease through deep cleanings, root planing, and extractions to address gum inflammation and bone loss. Early intervention is key to preserving oral health.

We educate pet owners on at-home dental care, including brushing techniques, dental chews, and safe products to maintain oral hygiene between professional cleanings.

We perform spay and neuter surgeries to prevent unwanted litters, reduce health risks (e.g., cancers), and improve longevity. These are routine procedures with post-op care instructions provided.

We diagnose and remove foreign bodies ingested or lodged in pets (e.g., toys, bones) using X-rays, endoscopy, or surgery to prevent complications like blockages or infections.

We perform cesarean sections for safe delivery of puppies or kittens when natural birth is not possible. This includes monitoring mothers and newborns post-surgery.

Our team repairs wounds and lacerations with sutures, staples, or advanced techniques to promote healing and prevent infections. We also provide aftercare instructions.

We diagnose and treat bladder stones through surgical removal (cystotomy) or dissolution therapy, depending on the size and composition of the stones.

We provide hospitalization services with 24/7 monitoring for pets requiring intensive care, including post-surgical recovery, chronic illness management, or emergency stabilization.

We administer IV fluid therapy to pets dehydrated from illness, surgery, or kidney disease. This helps restore hydration and supports organ function.

Our clinic offers pain management through medications, injections, or post-surgical care plans tailored to your pet’s condition (e.g., arthritis, dental pain).

We treat poisonings and toxin exposures (e.g., chocolate, lilies, rodenticide) with induced vomiting, IV fluids, medications, or activated charcoal to minimize damage.

For complex cases, we refer pets for CT scans and MRIs through specialized partners to diagnose conditions like brain tumors, spinal issues, or advanced organ diseases.

We provide sanitary shaves for pets with matted fur, skin infections, or those requiring post-surgical hygiene. This helps prevent complications and improves comfort.

Our clinic offers nail trims and dremeling to maintain paw health, reduce overgrowth, and prevent discomfort or injury during play.

We offer physical therapy and rehabilitation for pets recovering from surgery, injuries, or managing chronic conditions (e.g., arthritis). This includes supervised exercises and hydrotherapy.

Our clinic offers standard pet boarding with air-conditioned kennels, fresh bedding, supervised playtime, and socialization tailored to your pet’s needs. We ensure a safe and comfortable stay.

We run doggie daycare programs where pets enjoy mental stimulation, physical exercise, socialization with other dogs, and supervised play while owners are at work or running errands.

We conduct quality of life assessments for pets with chronic illnesses or geriatric concerns to guide owners on comfort, pain management, and end-of-life decisions.
