Shores Animal Clinic

We provide thorough nose-to-tail wellness exams tailored to your pet’s age and health status. Our comprehensive physicals help detect early signs of illness, monitor chronic conditions, and ensure your pet remains healthy at every life stage.

We offer specialized puppy and kitten wellness packages to set your new pet up for a lifetime of health. These include vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, spay/neuter consultations, and nutritional guidance to support their growth and development.

Our senior pet wellness care focuses on age-specific testing, early disease detection, and tailored treatment plans. We prioritize geriatric screenings (bloodwork, urinalysis) to extend your senior pet’s quality of life while addressing mobility, pain management, and organ health.

We administer core vaccinations for dogs (rabies, distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus) and cats (rabies, feline distemper/calicivirus/herpesvirus) to protect against life-threatening diseases. Vaccination schedules are customized based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors.

We provide annual heartworm testing and year-round prevention programs using FDA-approved medications. Heartworm disease is preventable, but early detection through testing ensures timely treatment if needed, safeguarding your pet’s heart and lungs.

Our flea and tick prevention services include topical treatments, oral medications, and environmental control recommendations to protect your pet from parasites that cause discomfort, allergies, or serious diseases like Lyme disease.

We offer microchipping as a permanent form of identification for pets. Our team ensures proper implantation and registration in national databases (e.g., HomeAgain/AvailPet) to maximize the chances of reuniting you with your pet if they ever go missing.

Our veterinarians provide personalized nutritional counseling to address obesity, dietary allergies, or medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, kidney disease). We help you select the right food, portion sizes, and supplements for your pet’s specific needs.

We perform intestinal parasite deworming to eliminate roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. Regular fecal testing guides our treatment plans to ensure your pet—and your family—are protected from parasitic infections.

Our behavioral counseling services address common issues like aggression, anxiety, excessive barking, or house soiling. We work with you to implement positive reinforcement training techniques and environmental modifications for long-term behavioral improvement.

We conduct in-house bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to diagnose infections, organ dysfunction, diabetes, thyroid disorders, and more. Early detection through these tests allows for proactive treatment plans.

Our urinalysis services help detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney disease, crystals/stones, or diabetes in your pet. This diagnostic tool is crucial for monitoring renal health and adjusting treatment protocols as needed.

We perform fecal testing to screen for intestinal parasites (e.g., giardia, coccidia) and assess overall digestive health. Regular testing is essential for puppies, outdoor pets, or those showing signs of gastrointestinal upset.

Our clinic uses digital radiography to diagnose fractures, foreign objects, dental disease, heart/lung conditions, and abdominal issues. X-rays provide critical insights for both routine check-ups and emergency care scenarios.

We offer ultrasound imaging to evaluate organ health (liver, kidneys, spleen), reproductive systems, heart function, and abdominal masses. Ultrasounds are non-invasive and help guide further diagnostic or surgical interventions.

Our tonometry (eye pressure testing) screens for glaucoma and other ocular diseases in pets. Early detection prevents vision loss, and we provide treatment options like medications or surgery to manage increased intraocular pressure.

We perform electrocardiograms (EKGs) to assess heart rhythm, size, and function. EKGs are essential for pre-surgical evaluations, diagnosing heart disease (e.g., murmurs, arrhythmias), or monitoring pets with known cardiac conditions.

During dental cleanings or evaluations, we take dental X-rays to detect tooth root infections, fractures, or hidden oral diseases. This allows us to address issues below the gumline that aren’t visible during a standard exam.

We perform tooth extractions for severely decayed, fractured, or diseased teeth under general anesthesia. Our goal is to relieve pain and prevent systemic infections while preserving as much of your pet’s natural dentition as possible.

Our oral surgery services include extractions, jaw fracture repairs, and tumor removals. We use advanced techniques to ensure minimal discomfort and rapid recovery for procedures affecting your pet’s mouth or facial structures.

We treat periodontal disease through deep cleanings, root planing, and antibiotic therapy if needed. Left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and systemic infections, so we prioritize gum health in every dental visit.

We provide detailed at-home dental care education, including toothbrushing techniques, dental diets, and oral health products tailored to your pet’s needs. Consistent home care complements professional cleanings for optimal oral hygiene.

Our spay/neuter surgeries are performed using sterile techniques and pain management protocols to reduce risks and ensure a smooth recovery. These procedures help prevent reproductive cancers, unwanted litters, and behavioral issues.

We surgically remove foreign bodies (e.g., swallowed objects, splinters) from your pet’s gastrointestinal tract or skin. Early intervention via X-rays and surgery prevents complications like perforations or obstructions.

Our clinic performs cesarean sections for complicated deliveries, dystocia, or maternal health concerns. We monitor both the mother and puppies/kittens closely during and after surgery to ensure a safe birth process.

We repair wounds and lacerations using sutures, staples, or advanced wound management techniques. Post-surgical care instructions are provided to prevent infections and promote proper healing at home.

Our team removes bladder stones (uroliths) via cystotomy surgery when conservative treatments fail. We also analyze stone composition to recommend dietary changes or medications to prevent recurrence.

During emergencies, we focus on stabilizing your pet through IV fluids, oxygen therapy, pain management, and diagnostic testing (e.g., X-rays, bloodwork) before determining the best treatment plan.

Our hospitalization services include intensive care for post-surgical patients, critical illnesses, or injuries. Pets are monitored continuously by our team, with adjustments to treatment as needed.

We provide oxygen therapy for pets suffering from respiratory distress, anesthesia recovery, or chronic lung diseases. Oxygen cages and supplemental oxygen ensure your pet receives the support they need during recovery.

Our clinic administers IV fluid therapy to correct dehydration, support kidney function, or maintain hydration during illnesses/surgeries. Fluids are tailored to your pet’s specific needs for optimal recovery.

We offer comprehensive pain management, including medications, laser therapy, and rehabilitation exercises, to improve your pet’s comfort after surgery or for chronic conditions like arthritis.

In cases of poisoning or toxin exposure (e.g., chocolate, lilies, rodenticide), we provide immediate treatment, including induced vomiting, IV fluids, and supportive care to minimize damage to organs.

We provide nail trimming and dremeling services to prevent overgrowth, which can cause pain or mobility issues. Our team ensures a safe and stress-free experience for your pet during grooming visits.

Our veterinarians perform anal gland expressions to relieve discomfort caused by impacted glands in dogs. This common issue can lead to scooting, licking, or infections if not addressed promptly.

We provide physical therapy and rehabilitation for pets recovering from surgery, injuries, or managing chronic conditions like arthritis. Our programs include laser therapy, hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill), and customized exercise plans.

Our hydrotherapy services use an underwater treadmill to reduce joint stress while improving muscle strength and mobility. This low-impact therapy is ideal for post-surgical patients or those with orthopedic issues.

Our standard pet boarding includes separate facilities for cats and dogs, with temperature-controlled spaces, individualized care plans, and daily attention. Vaccinations (e.g., Bordetella, rabies) are required for all boarders.

We provide quality of life assessments for senior or terminally ill pets to guide owners in making informed decisions about hospice care, pain management, or euthanasia. Our goal is to ensure your pet’s comfort and dignity.

We coordinate at-home euthanasia referrals with mobile veterinary services for pets who prefer the comfort of home during their final moments. Our team ensures a respectful and dignified process.
