South Kendall Animal Hospital

We provide comprehensive physical exams to assess your pet's overall health. During these exams, we perform thorough nose-to-tail evaluations, checking all major bodily systems including eyes, ears, nose, dental health, pulmonary health, weight, skin and coat, joints, and abdominal region.

We offer specialized wellness packages for puppies and kittens to ensure they start their lives on the healthiest path. These packages include regular wellness exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention to protect them from common illnesses and infections.

Our senior pet wellness care includes semi-annual visits to monitor health changes such as weight loss, high blood pressure, dental disease, cataracts, glaucoma, arthritis, cancer, and other conditions. We focus on maintaining your senior pet's happiness and comfort during their golden years.

We provide core vaccinations to protect your pets from dangerous and potentially fatal diseases such as rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. These vaccinations are essential for maintaining your pet's health and preventing costly treatments.

We provide annual heartworm testing and prevention to protect your pet from heartworms, which can infest the bloodstream, lungs, and heart, impairing blood circulation. We offer a 6-month preventative injection available at our hospital.

We recommend once-a-month preventatives to protect your pet from fleas and ticks, which can cause skin allergies, dermatitis, tapeworm, Bartonella, Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

We offer microchipping services to provide a permanent form of identification for your pet. Implanted beneath the skin between the shoulder blades, this helps in reuniting lost pets with their owners. We often implant the microchip during other procedures like spay-neuter.

We provide nutritional counseling to address your pet's specific dietary needs based on age, gender, weight, health status, and breed. This includes advice on weight gain and loss, puppy and kitten nutrition, senior nutrition, prescription diets, and developing a home-made diet.

We recommend twice annual fecal testing and once-a-month preventatives to protect your pet from intestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms, giardia, and more.

We perform bloodwork during annual exams to compare current health to established baseline values. This helps in diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of conditions, including organ functioning and parasite testing.

We conduct urinalysis as part of your pet's wellness exam to identify disorders such as urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and diabetes. Regular urine tests help in catching diseases or infections early enough to treat them effectively.

We recommend twice annual fecal exams to ensure your pet is safe from parasite infestation, which can be transmissible to humans. This helps in protecting your entire family.

Our digital radiography services provide instant results and clear images of your pet's insides. We use X-rays to detect a wide range of conditions such as tumors, foreign objects, intestinal blockages, bladder stones, bone fractures, chronic arthritis, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, spinal cord diseases, and cancer.

We offer ultrasound imaging to take a look inside your pet without any surgery or stress. This helps us see organs like the liver, kidneys, bladder, and more, allowing us to quickly find the cause of illness or pain.

We use gentle non-invasive methods to measure your pet’s blood pressure. This is an important part of senior wellness care, especially for pets with heart, kidney, or thyroid disease.

We perform electrocardiograms (ECGs) to monitor your pet's heart rhythms and impulses, ensuring their heart is functioning properly. This pain-free, non-invasive test helps in detecting abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).

We use dental X-rays during professional cleanings to identify problems beneath the gum-line such as broken teeth, roots, periodontal disease, dead teeth, abscesses, or infected teeth.

We treat periodontal disease, which is common in pets and can lead to serious health issues if left untreated. Our professional cleanings help prevent the spread of harmful oral bacteria to the rest of the body.

We provide education on at-home dental care, including how to brush your pet’s teeth and suggest products such as pet toothpastes, toothbrushes, oral solutions, treats, and toys.

We perform spay and neuter surgeries to promote a longer and healthier life for your pet. These procedures provide numerous benefits, including preventing unwanted pregnancies, eliminating messy heat cycles, decreasing aggressive behaviors, and increasing lifespan.
