Duluth Animal Hospital

We perform thorough nose-to-tail physical exams for pets of all ages, from puppies and kittens to senior companions. These exams help monitor lifelong health, detect issues early, and guide personalized care tailored to your pet’s unique needs.

We provide specialized wellness packages for puppies and kittens to ensure a strong, healthy start in life. These packages include age-appropriate vaccinations, parasite prevention, spay/neuter education, and nutritional guidance for optimal growth and development.

For senior pets, we offer specialized wellness care focused on early detection of age-related conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, and dental issues. Our senior packages include comprehensive physical exams, diagnostic screening, and tailored treatment plans to maintain quality of life.

We provide essential core vaccinations for dogs and cats, including rabies, distemper, parvovirus (for dogs), and FVRCP (for cats, covering feline distemper, calicivirus, and rhinotracheitis) to protect against serious and potentially fatal diseases.

We provide year-round heartworm testing and prevention for dogs and cats via oral medications, topical treatments, or injectable formulations. Annual testing is crucial for early detection, even in indoor pets, as mosquitoes can transmit this deadly disease.

We offer a variety of flea, tick, and parasite prevention options, including oral chewables, topical treatments, and collars. These are tailored to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and environmental risks, with recommendations for household safety as well.

We provide permanent microchipping services for pets, implanted painlessly between the shoulder blades. All chips are universally readable, and we register your contact information to maximize the chances of reuniting you with your pet if lost. We also update chips for found pets using universal scanning technology.

Our team includes veterinary nutritional advocates who provide guidance on life-stage diets (puppy, adult, senior), managing allergies, weight loss programs, and interpreting pet food labels. We carry prescription diets from brands like Hill’s, Royal Canin, and Purina and offer home delivery for convenience.

We perform fecal testing to detect intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, hookworms, giardia) and provide deworming treatments tailored to your pet’s needs. This is particularly important for puppies, kittens, outdoor pets, or those on heartworm prevention medications that cover intestinal parasites.

We address a wide range of behavioral issues in dogs and cats, including aggression, separation anxiety, inappropriate urination, excessive barking, and fear of storms. Our approach begins with a comprehensive history and medical exam to rule out underlying health issues, followed by customized plans that may include behavior modification, medication, or training strategies.

Our fully equipped in-house laboratory provides fast results for complete blood counts (CBC), chemistry panels, and organ function tests. Quick diagnostics help us identify issues early, especially for sick or geriatric pets, allowing for timely treatment.

We offer in-house urinalysis to screen for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and other metabolic conditions. This non-invasive test is a key part of our diagnostic services to ensure your pet’s urinary health is properly monitored.

We perform fecal testing for all pets, particularly puppies, kittens, or those with symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, or weight loss. Testing detects parasites such as giardia, coccidia, and worms, even in indoor-only pets.

We use state-of-the-art digital radiology for fast, clear images with reduced radiation exposure. X-rays help diagnose fractures, soft tissue abnormalities, dental issues, abdominal concerns, and foreign objects—all critical for accurate and timely treatment.

Our ultrasound imaging provides real-time, non-invasive views of internal organs, heart, bladder, and pregnancy confirmation. It’s essential for diagnosing conditions like heart disease, tumors, bladder stones, and liver/kidney issues without the need for sedation in most cases.

During dental cleanings and procedures, we use full-mouth dental X-rays to detect hidden issues such as bone loss, abscesses, and root damage. These X-rays guide our treatment decisions, including extractions, oral surgery, or periodontal therapy.

We perform tooth extractions for diseased, broken, or retained baby teeth under safe anesthesia protocols with IV fluids and real-time monitoring. Post-procedure pain management ensures your pet’s comfort during recovery.

Our team performs advanced oral surgeries, including tumor removals, fracture repairs, and salvage procedures. We employ laser surgery for minimally invasive techniques that reduce bleeding, pain, and infection risk while promoting faster healing.

We provide routine spay and neuter surgeries for dogs and cats, performed with safety-focused anesthesia (physical exams, pre-surgical bloodwork, and real-time monitoring). These procedures help prevent reproductive diseases, limit overpopulation, and reduce certain behavioral issues.

During business hours, we provide emergency stabilization, including initial trauma assessment, IV fluid therapy, pain management, and diagnostic evaluation. Our team is trained to handle critical cases swiftly to improve outcomes for pets in crisis.

We offer hospitalization services with 24-hour monitoring for pets recovering from surgery, managing chronic illnesses, or requiring intensive care. Our team provides one-on-one attention, IV fluids, and pain management as needed.

As part of our emergency and medical care, we administer IV fluid therapy to address dehydration, kidney disease, gastrointestinal issues, or post-surgical recovery. Fluids are essential for stabilizing critically ill or injured pets.

We prioritize multi-modal pain management for pre- and post-surgical patients, as well as those with chronic conditions. This includes medication, acupuncture, and individualized care plans to ensure your pet’s comfort and optimal healing.

In cases of poisoning or toxin exposure (e.g., chocolate, lilies, rodenticide), we provide immediate treatment, which may include induced vomiting, IV fluids, medication to bind toxins, and supportive care in our intensive care unit.

We provide climate-controlled boarding with cozy accommodations, individual attention, and daily walks/playtime. Facilities include skylit runs, separate feline wards, and personalized care plans to keep your pet comfortable and contented while you’re away.
