Martinez Animal Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages to assess overall health, detect early signs of disease, and ensure your companion remains in optimal condition. Our exams include a nose-to-tail evaluation, covering everything from dental health to mobility, and are tailored to your pet’s life stage—whether they’re a puppy, adult, or senior.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to give your new pet the best start in life. These packages include vaccinations (such as rabies, distemper, and parvovirus for puppies; rabies and panleukopenia for kittens), parasite testing and treatment (including deworming for roundworms), and guidance on nutrition, training, and socialization to foster a healthy, well-adjusted pet.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care program is tailored to meet the unique needs of aging pets, focusing on early detection of age-related conditions like arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and kidney/liver disorders. We recommend baseline exams (starting at age 7 for dogs and 8 for cats) with bloodwork, urinalysis, and physical assessments to track changes and adjust care plans for improved quality of life.

We administer Core Vaccinations to protect your pet from serious diseases, including rabies, distemper, and parvovirus (for dogs) or panleukopenia (feline distemper). These vaccines are essential for puppies, kittens, and adults to prevent life-threatening illnesses and comply with local regulations. We follow tailored vaccination schedules based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors.

We provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention to safeguard your dog or cat from this deadly parasitic disease transmitted by mosquitoes. Annual testing is recommended for dogs, while cats may require testing if symptoms (like respiratory distress) arise. Prevention is far more affordable and safer than treatment, and we offer monthly medications to keep your pet protected.

Our clinic offers Flea & Tick Prevention programs to protect your pet from parasites that cause irritation, allergies, and serious diseases (e.g., Lyme disease). We provide safe, effective preventives tailored to your pet’s needs, including oral and topical treatments. Even indoor pets are at risk, so we recommend year-round prevention to keep your home and pet parasite-free.

We provide Microchipping & Registration services to permanently identify your pet and increase the chances of a safe return if they’re lost. Our microchips are implanted under the skin during a quick, painless procedure, and we register the chip with a national database. We also recommend pairing microchips with updated ID tags for added security.

Our Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services help pets maintain a healthy weight and diet through personalized recommendations. Whether your pet needs to lose weight, manage a medical condition (like diabetes), or transition to a new food, we provide guidance on portion control, diet plans, and supplements to support their overall health.

We offer Parasite Deworming for intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms, which are common in puppies, kittens, and outdoor pets. Deworming is critical for preventing zoonotic diseases (transmitted to humans), gastrointestinal issues, and secondary infections. We recommend regular fecal testing and deworming as part of our preventive care programs.

Our Behavioral Counseling services address issues like aggression, anxiety, inappropriate elimination, and excessive barking through techniques such as desensitization, counter-conditioning, and, when needed, medication. We work with you to create a customized plan to improve your pet’s behavior and strengthen your bond, ensuring a happier, more harmonious home.

We perform In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to diagnose illnesses, monitor chronic conditions, and assess organ function. Our in-house lab allows for quick results, enabling us to start treatment promptly. This service is especially valuable for senior pets, pre-surgical evaluations, and pets showing signs of illness.

Our Urinalysis service helps detect urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders by examining your pet’s urine for abnormalities. This diagnostic tool is often included in wellness exams, especially for senior pets or those with symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, or straining to urinate.

We provide Fecal Testing to identify intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, giardia) and ensure your pet is free from infections that can cause diarrhea, weight loss, or zoonotic diseases. Fecal tests are recommended annually for puppies/kittens and semi-annually for adult pets, particularly those with outdoor access.

Our clinic is equipped with Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose fractures, arthritis, heart/lung conditions, and abdominal issues. X-rays provide critical insights for conditions like foreign body ingestion, dental disease, and cancer, allowing us to develop targeted treatment plans for your pet’s recovery.

We offer Ultrasound Imaging to evaluate abdominal organs (liver, kidneys, spleen), reproductive health, and cardiac function. Ultrasound is a non-invasive tool used to diagnose tumors, pregnancy, fluid buildup, and other internal conditions, often complementing X-rays or bloodwork for a comprehensive assessment.

We provide Dental X-Rays to detect hidden dental issues like root infections, fractures, or tooth resorption that aren’t visible during a visual exam. These X-rays guide our treatment plans, including extractions or root canals, ensuring your pet receives the most effective dental care.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery to prevent unwanted litters, reduce the risk of certain cancers (e.g., mammary tumors in females), and minimize behavioral issues like roaming or aggression. These procedures are safe, routine surgeries that improve your pet’s longevity and quality of life.

In emergencies, we provide Emergency Stabilization to address critical conditions like poisoning, trauma, or severe illness. Our team offers immediate care, including IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and pain management, to stabilize your pet before further treatment or referral to a specialist.

We provide Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for pets requiring intensive care, such as those recovering from surgery, managing chronic illnesses, or needing post-emergency observation. Our clinic offers a safe, comfortable environment with round-the-clock veterinary supervision to ensure your pet receives the best possible care.

Our Pain Management services include medications, laser therapy, and rehabilitation to alleviate discomfort from conditions like arthritis, post-surgical recovery, or injuries. We tailor pain relief plans to your pet’s needs, ensuring they remain comfortable and mobile throughout their treatment.

We treat Poison & Toxin exposures, including ingestion of human foods (e.g., chocolate, xylitol), plants, or chemicals, as well as snake bites or rodenticide poisoning. Immediate intervention is critical, and we provide supportive care, IV fluids, and medications to counteract toxins and stabilize your pet.

We offer Medical Grooming services, including sanitary shaves, nail trimming, and medicated baths for pets with skin conditions or mobility issues. These services help maintain hygiene, prevent infections, and improve comfort for pets that may struggle with self-grooming due to age or illness.

Our Anal Gland Expression service addresses impacted anal glands, a common issue in dogs that can cause pain, scooting, or discomfort. We perform this procedure during wellness exams or as needed to relieve pressure and prevent infections, ensuring your pet stays happy and healthy.

We utilize Cold Laser Therapy to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling in pets recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, or healing from injuries. This non-invasive treatment promotes tissue repair and improves mobility without the side effects of medication, offering a gentle yet effective recovery option.

Our Standard Pet Boarding service provides a safe, comfortable environment for your pet while you travel, with amenities like clean bedding, food/water stations, and supervised playtime. We accommodate special requests (e.g., favorite toys, dietary needs) and offer optional grooming services to keep your pet happy and healthy during their stay.
