Central Florida Animal Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes. Our exams include a nose-to-tail assessment of body condition, eyes, ears, mouth, internal organs, systems, and skin to detect early signs of illness and maintain overall health. We use these exams as a foundation for personalized care plans, including recommendations for additional services like dental cleanings or diagnostic testing.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to ensure your new pet starts life on the right foot. Our packages include physical exams, customized vaccination schedules (core and lifestyle vaccines), parasite prevention plans, nutritional counseling, and guidance on spay/neuter timing and Microchipping & Registration. We also provide at-home care education to support a smooth transition into pet ownership.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on the unique needs of aging pets, recommending more frequent Comprehensive Physical Exams to detect early signs of illness. We tailor care plans to include dietary adjustments, exercise modifications, and pain management strategies. Signs of discomfort (e.g., difficulty moving, reluctance to be touched) are carefully evaluated, and we develop proactive treatment plans to enhance quality of life.

We provide essential Core Vaccinations for dogs (Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus) and cats (Rabies, FVRCP) to protect against common, life-threatening diseases. Our team creates a customized vaccination schedule based on your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and environment. We also discuss potential side effects and how to manage them to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort.

We provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention as part of our year-round parasite control program. Annual blood tests detect heartworm infection early, while preventive medications (oral, topical, or injectable) protect your pet year-round. Our team helps you choose the most effective prevention plan based on your lifestyle and discusses the importance of consistent testing, even if your pet is on prevention.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention services include personalized plans using monthly oral medications, topical treatments, or injectable options to suit your pet’s needs. We emphasize year-round protection, as fleas and ticks thrive in Central Florida’s climate. During annual exams, we assess your pet’s risk and recommend the most effective treatment to keep them safe from parasites and associated diseases like Lyme or Ehrlichia.

We offer Microchipping & Registration as a quick, safe, and permanent way to identify your pet. Our microchips are registered in national databases, and we provide guidance on attaching an ID tag as an additional layer of protection. In case of loss or accident, our chip ensures your pet can be reunited with you swiftly. We recommend microchipping for all pets, especially those with outdoor access.

Our Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services include personalized diet plans based on your pet’s age, breed, activity level, and health status. During exams, we assess body condition and recommend portion control, food choices, or supplements to maintain a healthy weight. We also educate pet owners on reading food labels and avoiding obesity-related conditions like diabetes or joint disease.

We perform Parasite Deworming (Intestinal) as part of our parasite prevention and control program. During annual exams, we conduct fecal tests to detect intestinal parasites like roundworms or hookworms. If parasites are found, we prescribe safe and effective deworming medications and discuss environmental management (e.g., cleaning litter boxes, sanitizing yards) to prevent reinfection.

Our in-house Laboratory services include In-House Bloodwork (CBC & Chemistry Panels), Urinalysis, and Fecal Testing, performed by experienced veterinary technicians. Rapid results allow us to diagnose illnesses quickly, monitor chronic conditions, and adjust treatment plans promptly. We prioritize accuracy and communication, explaining findings clearly to help you make informed decisions about your pet’s care.

We offer Urinalysis as part of our diagnostic services to evaluate kidney function, detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), or identify crystals/stones. This non-invasive test is particularly valuable for senior pets or those showing signs of discomfort (e.g., frequent urination, straining). Early detection allows us to treat conditions before they become severe.

Our Fecal Testing service detects intestinal parasites, including giardia or coccidia, which can cause digestive upset or transmit diseases to humans. We recommend annual fecal tests for all pets, even those on prevention, as some parasites may not be visible. Results guide us in prescribing appropriate deworming treatments and preventing environmental contamination.

We utilize Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose conditions affecting bones, organs, or internal systems. Our advanced imaging helps identify fractures, tumors, heart or lung issues, and dental problems (e.g., root infections). X-rays are painless and provide critical insights for accurate diagnoses and treatment planning, including orthopedic or dental surgeries.

Our Ultrasound Imaging service allows us to visualize internal organs in real-time, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions like heart disease, organ enlargement, bladder stones, or pregnancy. Ultrasounds are non-invasive and help us monitor tumors, assess abdominal pain, or guide biopsies. We use this technology to provide precise diagnoses and tailor treatment plans.

Our Dental X-Rays reveal hidden dental issues like root infections, fractures, or bone loss beneath the gumline, which are invisible during visual exams. These radiographs guide us in diagnosing periodontal disease, planning extractions, or assessing oral tumors. We recommend dental X-rays as part of comprehensive cleanings to ensure thorough treatment and early intervention.

We perform Tooth Extractions when necessary to alleviate pain or prevent infection from broken, decayed, or severely diseased teeth. Our team uses advanced techniques and anesthesia to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. Post-extraction care instructions are provided to support healing, and we may recommend follow-up exams to monitor recovery.

Our Spay & Neuter Surgery services include routine spaying (ovariohysterectomy) and neutering (orchiectomy) to prevent unwanted litters and reduce risks of cancers (e.g., mammary tumors, testicular cancer). We prioritize your pet’s safety with customized anesthetic plans and post-operative care guidance. These procedures also help manage behavioral issues like roaming or marking.

We provide Emergency Stabilization for pets experiencing acute issues like trauma, poisoning, or severe illness outside regular hours. Our team assesses vital signs, administers IV fluids, or provides oxygen therapy to stabilize your pet before transferring to an emergency clinic if needed. We prioritize rapid intervention to improve outcomes during critical situations.

Our Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring services ensure pets requiring intensive care receive continuous observation and treatment. We monitor vital signs, administer medications, and adjust care plans as needed. Our facility is equipped to handle chronic conditions, post-surgical recovery, or acute illnesses, with compassionate staff available around the clock.

We provide IV Fluid Therapy to treat dehydration, shock, or kidney disease, or to support pets undergoing anesthesia or surgery. Fluids are administered under close supervision to restore hydration, improve circulation, and aid in toxin removal. This therapy is critical for stabilizing critically ill pets and facilitating recovery.

Our Pain Management services include preemptive, intraoperative, and post-operative pain control tailored to your pet’s needs. We use a multimodal approach, combining medications, laser therapy, and acupuncture to minimize discomfort during procedures or chronic conditions. Pain assessment and management are integral parts of our surgical and medical care plans.

We offer Medical Grooming services, including Sanitary Shave, Nail Trimming & Dremeling, and Anal Gland Expression, to address health needs. For example, we trim fur around wounds or surgical sites to prevent infection, trim overgrown nails to avoid joint pain, and express anal glands to relieve discomfort. These services are performed with your pet’s well-being as the top priority.

Our Cold Laser Therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that reduces pain, inflammation, and swelling while promoting healing. We use this therapy for conditions like osteoarthritis, soft tissue injuries, and post-surgical recovery. Sessions are quick and painless, with many pets showing improved mobility and comfort after just one or two treatments. Our K-laser certified technicians tailor treatment plans to your pet’s specific needs.

Our Telemedicine Consultations provide virtual access to our veterinarians for non-emergency concerns like medication refills, minor ailments, or follow-up care. These consultations save time and reduce stress for both you and your pet, while allowing us to monitor chronic conditions remotely. We use secure platforms to ensure confidentiality and continuity of care.
