Lavitt Animal Hospital

We provide detailed Comprehensive Physical Exams during all wellness consultations to assess your pet’s overall health, detect early signs of disease, and tailor preventive care recommendations. Our thorough evaluations focus on every aspect of your pet’s well-being—from their skin and coat to their organ systems—so you can trust their long-term health.

Our Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages are designed to give your new pet the healthiest start in life, including vaccinations, parasite prevention, spay/neuter consultations, and nutritional guidance. We’ll work with you to create a customized plan to protect their rapid growth and development while minimizing zoonotic risks.

We offer Core Vaccinations to protect your pet against life-threatening diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. Our veterinary team will guide you in determining which core vaccines are right for your pet’s risk level and lifestyle, ensuring optimal prevention tailored to their needs and the health of your community.

We conduct Heartworm Testing via blood analysis and prescribe monthly preventive medications to protect against this life-threatening parasite. Our approach includes local risk assessments, environmental education, and early detection as part of our preventive wellness programs.

Our clinic offers Flea & Tick Prevention programs featuring FDA-approved treatments and environmental controls to protect your pet from painful bites, skin infections, and tick-borne diseases. We’ll help you choose the safest, most effective protocols based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and local parasite prevalence.

We provide Microchipping using HomeAgain-brand chips, the gold standard for permanent pet identification. As part of the service, we ensure registration in national databases, connect GPS-tracking options (if available), and provide owners with recovery protocols should their pet ever get lost.

Our Nutritional Counseling services help pets maintain a healthy weight through personalized diet plans, obesity management strategies, and discussions on commercial vs. home-prepared foods. We partner with board-certified nutritionists for advanced cases and track progress during wellness exams.

We use targeted Parasite Deworming treatments to eliminate intestinal worms like roundworms, hookworms, and giardia, which can cause severe illness or zoonotic disease. Based on in-house diagnostics, we’ll prescribe the most effective dewormers and provide prevention tips tailored to your pet and environment.

Our Behavioral Counseling assists pet owners in addressing issues like separation anxiety, aggression, or excessive barking through consultations with board-certified veterinary behaviorists. We combine behavioral training tips with medical considerations (e.g., pain-related behavior) for holistic care—often as part of wellness exams.

We perform In-House Bloodwork for accurate, rapid results including CBCs (complete blood counts) and Chemistry Panels to diagnose infections, organ dysfunction, or metabolic conditions. Same-day diagnostics mean faster treatment plans and reduced stress for anxious pets during the process.

As part of our in-house lab services, we perform Urinalysis to screen for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, bladder stones, and diabetes. Early detection allows us to promptly implement dietary changes or medications before these conditions become critical. We often use urinalysis during annual wellness exams.

Our clinic offers Fecal Testing to detect intestinal parasites like giardia, coccidia, or whipworms that can mimic other signs of illness. We perform in-house diagnostics for many parasites and send samples to referral laboratories if needed, pairing testing with parasite control education to prevent reinfections.

We utilize Digital X-Rays for prompt imaging of bone fractures, orthopedic conditions, dental disease, and chest/abdominal abnormalities. Our advanced radiography equipment ensures high-resolution images without compromising your pet’s safety, often completed in-house to avoid transfers.

For deep diagnostics, we offer Ultrasound Imaging to evaluate organ changes, pregnancies, heart function, and unusual masses detected via X-ray. Often used for conditions like liver disease, thyroid issues, or fetal development, ultrasounds are performed by our trained staff in a stress-free environment.

As part of routine wellness exams, we perform Blood Pressure Monitoring to assess risks of hypertension associated with conditions like kidney disease or thyroid disorders. This helps us identify asymptomatic pets requiring medications or dietary adjustments before complications arise.

We provide EKG/ECG monitoring to diagnose heart disease, arrhythmias, or post-surgery recovery status. These non-invasive tests help detect conditions like congestive heart failure early and allow us to customize treatment plans, including medications or lifestyle changes.

Our clinics provide Dental X-Rays to diagnose hidden issues like abscesses, root infections, early-stage tooth decay, or jawbone abnormalities. These digital radiographs allow us to evaluate 50–75% of a tooth below the gums—critical for accurate diagnosis before extractions or root canals.

When necessary, we perform Tooth Extractions under anesthesia with Dental X-Rays for planning, ensuring a painless, fast procedure. Post-procedure care and dietary recommendations guide recovery, and most extractions address diseased or fractured teeth to maintain oral health.

Our approach to Periodontal Disease Treatment includes dental cleanings, at-home care guidance, and specialized surgeries like gingival flaps for advanced cases. We prioritize early intervention and partner with oral surgery specialists when complex conditions require advanced care.

We provide At-Home Dental Care Education to teach pet owners how to brush teeth, use dental wipes, and choose dental diets or supplements based on their pet’s age and oral health. This proactive approach extends time between professional cleanings and prevents future dental crises.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery using gold-standard techniques (ovariohysterectomy in dogs/cats and orchidectomy in males) under our veterinary team’s supervision. Pre-surgery consults assess your pet’s ideal timing and post-operative pain management options for optimal comfort and recovery.

Our veterinarians perform Foreign Body Removal surgeries to remove swallowed or injected objects (e.g., bones, toys) using minimally invasive techniques. Post-op hospitalization ensures recovery and we recommend dietary changes to prevent future foreign body risks for curious pets.

For Wound & Laceration Repair, we employ advanced suturing, drainage systems, or reconstructive techniques in-house, followed by post-surgical monitoring and infection prevention protocols. Emergency cases benefit from our 24/7 partnerships with nearby referral centers for complex repairs.

As part of our Soft Tissue Surgery expertise, we remove Bladder Stones through cystotomy procedures using lasers or surgical excision, followed by tailored diets and prescription medications to prevent recurrence. Urinalysis and in-house X-rays inform our surgical and post-op plans.

We perform Emergency Stabilization protocols for trauma patients, utilizing IV fluids, pain management, and oxygen therapy to prepare them for transfer to 24-hour specialty care if needed. When possible, we treat critical conditions like poisoning or foreign body obstructions in-house with our diagnostics.

Our clinic provides IV Fluid Therapy to correct dehydration, flush toxins, or support organ function during emergencies or chronic diseases like kidney failure. We customize infusion rates and fluids based on bloodwork results, ensuring your pet receives the best possible hydration and nutritional support.

We provide Pain Management through tailored pharmacological plans (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, opioids, gabapentin, etc.), laser therapy, and physical modalities to enhance recovery. Our approach focuses on multimodal analgesia to minimize side effects and improve outcomes for pets on pain meds.

As part of medical care, we provide Medical Grooming services such as Medicated Baths (for skin conditions like atopic dermatitis), Sanitary Shaves for obese or post-surgery pets, and wound bandaging. Our groomers collaborate with veterinarians to tailor procedures to each pet’s medical needs.
