Alta Bluff Animal Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams during our yearly visits for canines and felines, assessing overall health, identifying potential issues early, and offering wellness testing as needed. Our examinations are tailored to meet each pet’s specific needs, addressing concerns such as heart, lung, and dental health.

We administer Core Vaccinations like rabies, distemper, and parvo as recommended for all puppies, kittens, and adult pets. For dogs, we also offer optional three-year vaccination intervals for rabies, distemper, hepatitis, and parvo in healthy adults, according to AAHA guidelines. Vaccination choices are discussed individually to fit your pet’s lifestyle and risks.

We conduct annual Heartworm Testing for dogs and cats (even indoor pets) and provide heartworm prevention medications. Tests and preventive care are integrated into routine exams to ensure protection against this potentially fatal parasite throughout all life stages. We’ll advise on the best prevention method for your pet’s needs.

During exams, we actively educate pets and owners on Flea & Tick Prevention, recommending and providing effective monthly treatments based on regional risks and your pet’s lifestyle. Customized plans address flea infestations, tick-borne diseases like Lyme, and year-round parasitic protection.

We offer Microchipping and registration for pets, ensuring quick returns if they get lost. Microchipping is strongly advised for cats that go outside and integrated into vaccine visits if needed. Our staff will register your pet’s microchip with a national database for seamless recovery connections.

Intestinal Parasite Deworming is included in yearly exams for both dogs and cats. Our veterinarians test for and treat parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms, even in pets showing no symptoms. Routine stool checks during exams help us keep pets parasite-free.

Our In-House Bloodwork allows us to quickly perform complete blood counts (CBCs) and chemistry panels to diagnose illnesses like diabetes, kidney/liver disease, or infections. Rapid results enable timely treatment for pets showing clinical signs or during comprehensive senior wellness exams.

We provide advanced Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose fractures, dental disease, heart or lung conditions, and abdominal concerns. Our state-of-the-art equipment captures accurate images in minutes, helping us design effective treatment plans immediately. X-rays are also used during dental cleanings.

We use Dental X-Rays during every dental cleaning to uncover hidden dental problems like root infections, fractures, or tooth decay under the gums. These images are essential for diagnosing issues not visible during external exams and guiding appropriate treatments like extractions.

We perform Tooth Extractions as part of dental health care, addressing problematic teeth detected during X-rays or cleanings. Extractions are done under anesthesia to ensure comfort and promote healing. Our team monitors patients post-surgery and provides detailed aftercare instructions.

Our skilled veterinarians perform Spay & Neuter Surgery with precision, addressing populations control and reducing disease risks like cancer or infections. Procedures are conducted in sterile environments with pain management and follow-up care tailored to your pet’s recovery needs.

We have experience in Bladder Stone Removal to relieve urinary tract blockages in both dogs and cats. Advanced techniques and supportive treatments follow the procedure to monitor your pet’s recovery closely and prevent future stone formation.

Our facility is equipped for Emergency Stabilization for life-threatening incidents like poisoning, trauma, or organ failure. We utilize a team of trained professionals to provide immediate care with IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and specialized treatments while stabilizing your pet for further diagnostics or referral.

For pets requiring intensive care, we offer Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring. Our hospital staff tracks recovery, administers medications, and ensures a safe environment for pets with chronic diseases, post-surgery needs, or severe symptoms. Families are kept updated regularly.

Oxygen Therapy is available for pets suffering from respiratory distress, collapse, or post-anesthetic recovery. We monitor oxygen levels carefully to ensure adequate oxygenation and respiratory support in critical situations, often as emergency care.

IV Fluid Therapy is a critical service we provide for pets with dehydration, infections, or kidney/liver disease, delivering essential electrolytes and hydration. IV therapy is administered during emergency care and hospitalization to support overall health and stability.

We prioritize Pain Management for all surgeries, chronic conditions, and injuries. Our protocols include post-operative pain relief, joint supplements for arthritis, and customized treatment plans to ensure your pet’s comfort and improve quality of life.

If your pet ingests harmful substances, we provide Poison & Toxin Treatment, which may include IV fluids, activated charcoal, inducing vomiting, or medications like N-acetylcysteine. Early intervention is crucial, so we advise you to call immediately in case of suspected poisoning.

We provide Medical Grooming to address specific health concerns, such as trimming matted fur around infected areas, clipping for medical conditions, or Nail Trimming & Dremeling. Our team tailors grooming services to your pet’s well-being and medical needs.

Our Sanitary Shave service maintains cleanliness and comfort around sensitive areas for better hygiene and reduced infection risk. This service is often recommended prior to urinary procedures or for pets with skin conditions causing discomfort.
