Caring Hands Animal Hospital of Live Oak

We provide thorough nose-to-tail physical examinations for all pets to evaluate current and developing health issues. Annual exams are recommended for all pets, while senior pets and those with health concerns should be examined at least twice yearly. Our exams include pain assessment and early detection of potential health problems.

We offer comprehensive wellness packages for puppies and kittens, covering all essential care in their first year of life. These packages include microchip placement, the first dose of flea & tick prevention, and heartworm prevention, with optional spay & neuter surgery add-ons.

We provide specialized senior pet care, including bi-annual comprehensive physical exams and in-house bloodwork (CBC & chemistry panels) to monitor aging-related changes. Senior pets receive customized health recommendations to ensure early detection of issues and maintain their quality of life.

We offer core vaccinations tailored to your pet’s age and lifestyle, including protection against rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. Vaccination recommendations are customized to ensure optimal safety and effectiveness.

We offer heartworm testing and prevention programs to protect your pet from this serious and potentially fatal disease. Our recommendations are updated regularly to ensure the safest and most effective medications for your pet’s needs.

We provide flea and tick prevention programs tailored to North Florida’s warm and humid climate. Our recommendations include the latest parasiticides to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort.

We offer microchipping services with a built-in body temperature sensor for all pets. This permanent form of identification helps reunite lost pets with their families and allows us to monitor their health remotely.

We provide personalized nutritional counseling and weight management plans to optimize your pet’s health. Our team reviews diets at every visit and offers Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets for specialized nutritional needs.

We perform in-house bloodwork, including CBC and chemistry panels, to quickly diagnose illnesses and monitor your pet’s health. Our in-house lab provides results in 10–20 minutes for timely treatment decisions.

We provide digital X-ray (radiography) services to evaluate bones, organs, and internal structures. Sedation is often included to ensure your pet’s comfort and reduce stress during the procedure.

We offer ultrasound imaging to examine internal organs, fluid-filled cavities, and other structures. Ultrasound is often used alongside digital X-rays for comprehensive diagnostic evaluations.

We perform spay and neuter surgeries to prevent unwanted litters, reduce health risks (e.g., testicular/breast cancer), and minimize behavioral issues like aggression. Customized anesthetic plans ensure safety for all patients.

We assess and manage pain as part of every physical exam, recognizing that pets often hide signs of discomfort. Our approach includes subtle behavioral observations and tailored treatment plans to maintain your pet’s quality of life.
