Darien Animal Clinic

We provide thorough nose-to-tail exams during wellness visits to assess your pet’s overall health, detect early signs of disease, and create personalized preventative care plans. Our doctors dedicate 30 minutes per visit to ensure all concerns are addressed.

We offer tailored wellness packages for puppies and kittens, including age-appropriate vaccinations, parasite prevention, nutritional guidance, and developmental assessments to set your pet up for a healthy life.

Our senior pet care includes semi-annual wellness exams, bloodwork, pain management evaluations, and personalized plans to address age-related conditions like arthritis or organ changes. We prioritize early detection for long-term comfort.

We provide customized vaccination plans for core diseases (rabies, distemper, parvo) based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors. Vaccines are a cornerstone of preventative care to protect against serious illnesses.

*Not explicitly mentioned but implied under Wellness Care and Vaccinations or Laboratory Services. We recommend annual heartworm testing and preventive medications as part of our comprehensive parasite control programs to safeguard your pet’s health.*

*Included in discussions during wellness exams under parasite control. We provide guidance on flea, tick, and intestinal parasite prevention tailored to your pet’s environment and risk factors.*

We offer microchip implantation as a permanent identification method for pets. Our team ensures proper registration in national databases to increase the chances of reuniting you with your pet if lost.

During wellness visits, we discuss personalized nutrition plans, including prescription diets for weight management or chronic conditions. Our goal is to optimize your pet’s diet for longevity and vitality.

Our veterinarians provide behavioral assessments and counseling for issues like anxiety, aggression, or house training. We tailor solutions to your pet’s specific needs and may refer to specialized resources if required.

Laboratory Services include in-house bloodwork for complete blood counts (CBC) and chemistry panels. We use these tests during wellness exams or diagnostics to detect early-stage diseases like diabetes, kidney issues, or infections.

*Included under Laboratory Services. Urinalysis helps us monitor urinary health, screen for infections, crystals, or kidney disease, and adjust treatment plans as needed.*

*Part of our parasite control protocols. Fecal testing identifies intestinal parasites (e.g., giardia, worms) to ensure effective deworming and prevent zoonotic risks.*

Digital Radiography is available for comprehensive imaging of bones, organs, and internal structures. Our advanced equipment provides rapid results to aid in diagnosing fractures, tumors, or chronic conditions.

Ultrasonography allows us to visualize soft tissues, organs (e.g., heart, liver), and pregnancies without invasive procedures. This non-invasive tool is critical for diagnosing internal abnormalities.*

Tonometry (eye pressure testing) is performed to screen for glaucoma or other ocular diseases. Early detection helps prevent vision loss and manage chronic eye conditions effectively.

Blood Pressure Readings are taken during wellness or diagnostic visits to monitor cardiovascular health, especially in senior pets or those with kidney disease or diabetes.*

Computerized Electrocardiograms (ECGs) help us assess heart function and detect arrhythmias or congenital heart defects. This is part of our advanced diagnostic toolkit for cardiac care.*

Digital Dental Radiography allows us to examine teeth below the gumline for hidden decay, root issues, or oral tumors. These radiographs are essential for comprehensive dental care and treatment planning.*

*Included under Dentistry. We perform tooth extractions when necessary (e.g., severe decay, fractures) with suturing to promote healing and prevent infection. All procedures are done under strict sterile conditions.*
