Kirkman Road Veterinary Clinic

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages to evaluate overall health, detect potential issues early, and ensure long-term well-being. Our exams assess everything from weight and vitality to organ function, dental health, and any signs of illness or discomfort. Regular wellness exams help maintain your pet's optimal health and address concerns before they become serious.

We offer Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to give your young pets the best start in life. These packages include vaccinations, deworming, parasite prevention, spay/neuter recommendations, nutritional guidance, and puppy/kitten-specific exams to ensure healthy growth and development. Contact us to create a customized plan for your new furry family member.

We provide specialized Senior Pet Wellness Care focusing on early detection of age-related conditions like arthritis, dental disease, heart issues, and cancer. Senior exams often include bloodwork, urinalysis, and detailed assessments tailored to your pet's needs. We aim to geriatric care plans that improve comfort, prolong life, and maintain quality of living.

We administer essential Core Vaccinations to protect pets from serious diseases like Rabies, Distemper, and Parvovirus. These vaccines are vital to your pet's immunity, especially for puppies and kittens. Our team follows recommended vaccination schedules and ensures your pet receives timely boosters to provide lifelong protection. Schedule an appointment to discuss vaccines during your pet's exam.

We provide annual Heartworm Testing to detect this potentially fatal disease early. Alongside testing, we offer preventive medication to keep both dogs and cats heartworm-free. Heartworm prevention involves simple monthly medications that protect pets' health and prevent costly treatment. Year-round preventive plans are available for optimal safety.

At Kirkman Road Veterinary Clinic, we provide a variety of Flea & Tick Prevention options to safeguard your pets from these dangerous parasites. We offer monthly treatments, topical solutions, and oral medications suitable for every pet. Flea and tick prevention is a year-round consideration, especially in Florida’s climate.

We offer Microchipping & Registration as a reliable way to reunite lost pets with their owners. Microchips are implanted during a routine appointment and registered in a national database. This service is inexpensive but can save your pet’s life if they ever get lost. If you have a new pet or your microchip is outdated, we can register or update it today.

Our clinic provides personalized Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management to ensure your pets maintain a healthy weight and diet. We assess each pet’s needs based on age, breed, activity level, and health conditions, then create custom feeding plans or suggest dietary supplements to combat obesity and promote overall wellness. Discuss nutrition during your pet’s exam for tailored advice.

We perform thorough Parasite Deworming (Intestinal) treatments to eliminate internal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, or tapeworms. These dewormers are essential for pups, kittens, and pets with parasite exposure history. Deworming helps prevent health issues such as gastrointestinal discomfort and transmission of parasites to humans.

We use modern Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose fractures, arthritis, digestive issues, and other inner-body conditions in pets. Our digital X-ray machine provides high-resolution images to help our veterinarians accurately analyze and treat underlying medical issues swiftly.

Our veterinarians perform Tooth Extractions when teeth are severely decayed (due to infection or disease), broken, or otherwise irreparable. Extractions are undertaken with meticulous care to ensure your pet's comfort using advanced anesthetic and post-operative care to speed up the healing process.

We offer Spay & Neuter Surgery to improve your pet’s health and quality of life. Spaying helps reduce the risk of uterine infections, cancer, and unwanted litters, while neutering minimizes testicular cancer and behavioral issues while also preventing overpopulation. We use meticulous safety protocols to ensure a quick and comfortable recovery.

We perform Wound & Laceration Repair to treat injuries from cuts, puncture wounds, and surgical incisions. Our approach includes thorough cleaning, disinfection, and advanced suturing or wound-management techniques. Post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up instructions to ensure a smooth healing process for your pet.

We provide Emergency Stabilization for seriously ill or injured pets. This critical care may include monitoring, fluids, wound care, pain management, and immediate diagnostic evaluation before transfer to an emergency center if necessary. The goal is to stabilize your pet to ensure a smoother recovery.

For pets requiring intensive care, we offer Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring. Our facility includes comfortable recovery areas and constant observation by trained veterinary staff. This level of care is provided during surgery recovery, ongoing treatment for chronic illnesses, or other special-needs situations.

We offer IV Fluid Therapy to restore hydration, manage critical conditions, and support post-surgical recovery for pets. Our team administers fluids for dehydration, kidney or liver illness, shock, and other conditions requiring precise electrolyte balance. Fluids are carefully monitored in an attentive environment to optimize healing.

Compassionate Pain Management is a priority at our clinic, especially after surgery, dental work, or injuries. We use multimodal pain medications, local anesthesia techniques, and advanced pain therapy protocols to alleviate discomfort and ensure your pet’s recovery is as comfortable as possible.

We provide Medical Grooming, including sanitary shaves, nail trimming, and care for pets with special conditions such as arthritis or skin problems. These services address specific health needs while keeping your pet comfortable during treatments. Medical grooming can be pivotal for pets who require careful grooming to avoid stress or injuries.

We provide Sanitary Shave services to help pets manage excessive fur around their hindquarters, anal gland issues, or after surgery for easier cleaning and reduced bacteria buildup. This service keeps your pet cleaner, more comfortable, and minimizes irritation.

Regular Nail Trimming & Dremeling services help prevent overgrowth, discomfort, and painful conditions like ingrown nails, which can affect mobility. We handle nail trimming safely for all pets using techniques that minimize risk of injury. Nail care is often performed during general health checks or grooming visits.

If your pet is having trouble with Anal Gland Expression, our team is equipped to provide safe and effective remedies. We can perform the procedure both manually or through other methods to address gland impaction or infection, improving your pet's overall comfort.

Need to travel with your pet domestically? We provide required Domestic Travel Certificates, adhering to health regulations for a safe and legal journey. These certificates verify that your pet is up-to-date on necessary vaccinations, such as Rabies, as part of the travel requirements.

Based on medical and emotional considerations, we offer Quality of Life Assessments for senior and chronically ill pets to help assess their comfort and remaining vitality. This evaluation aids in making informed decisions about treatment and care aligned with both the pet's health and quality of life.
