Mitchell Hammock Pet Hospital & Boarding

We provide 6-month unrushed thorough health exams tailored to your pet’s age, breed, and needs. Our comprehensive approach ensures early detection of illnesses, including chronic conditions like gum disease, kidney issues, or heart disease. Every exam includes a detailed assessment to promote long-term wellness.

We specialize in wellness testing and health exams for senior pets, focusing on early diagnosis of age-related conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. Regular screenings—including bloodwork, ultrasounds, and EKGs—help manage chronic illnesses and improve quality of life.

We administer core vaccinations to protect your pet from preventable diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. These are essential for maintaining immunity and overall health, especially in puppies and kittens.

Our services include flea and tick prevention treatments, along with options like flea/tick dips (surcharge) for pets requiring additional protection against parasites and associated diseases like Lyme or Ehrlichia.

We provide nutritional counseling to address weight management, dietary needs, and chronic conditions like diabetes or kidney disease. Our team helps tailor meal plans for optimal health and longevity.

Our wellness testing includes in-house bloodwork (CBC and chemistry panels) to screen for early signs of diseases such as diabetes, kidney dysfunction, or thyroid disorders. Early detection leads to better outcomes.

We perform urinalysis as part of our diagnostic screening to identify urinary tract infections, crystals, or kidney disease—common issues in both dogs and cats, especially seniors.

As part of our cat-friendly wellness exams, we offer eye pressure testing to screen for glaucoma and other ocular conditions, ensuring early intervention for better eye health.

We monitor blood pressure during wellness visits, particularly for cats with hypertension or chronic kidney disease. Early detection helps manage this silent but serious condition.

Our electrocardiogram services screen for heart disease, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in cats and other cardiac conditions. EKGs are performed during wellness exams or when symptoms arise.

Our team performs oral surgery, including extractions and repairs for conditions like fractured jaws or oral tumors, with access to specialists for complex cases.

We treat periodontal disease through deep cleanings, scaling, root planing, and at-home care education. Gum disease is the #1 health issue in pets and can lead to organ damage if untreated.

We educate pet owners on at-home dental care, including brushing techniques, dental diets, and tools to maintain oral health between professional cleanings.

We perform spay and neuter surgeries as routine procedures to prevent unwanted litters and reduce the risk of certain cancers and infections.

Our medical grooming services include nail trimming, ear cleaning, and hydrosurge massage therapy for pets with arthritis or skin conditions. We also offer medicated baths (surcharge) for chronic dermatological issues.

Every bathing service includes nail trimming, and we also offer dremeling for pets requiring precise nail care to prevent overgrowth or injuries.

Hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill) and physical therapy are available to aid recovery from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions like arthritis. Our spa services include hydrosurge massage for joint support.

We offer hydrotherapy using underwater treadmills to provide low-impact exercise for pets recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, or building muscle strength safely.
