St Joe Veterinary Clinic: Cates Donald R DVM

We provide thorough examinations for pets at every stage of life—whether they are healthy or showing signs of illness. Our exams include assessments tailored to breed, age, size, and lifestyle needs.

As part of our dental care services, we offer X-rays to assess underlying periodontal disease or oral health issues not visible during a standard exam.

We perform elective spay and neuter procedures as part of our standard surgical services. These surgeries help prevent unwanted litters and reduce health risks for your pet.

For pets requiring intensive care, we provide in-patient hospitalization with constant monitoring by our trained staff. Our nurses follow treatment plans closely and keep you updated daily.

We prioritize pain management for both pre- and post-operative care. Your pet will receive appropriate pain medication before surgery and may go home with oral medications to ensure comfort.

Our canine rehabilitation program focuses on improving function and reducing pain for pets recovering from surgery or managing conditions like orthopedic issues or neurological disorders. We create customized plans tailored to your pet’s needs.

As part of our rehabilitation services, we offer hydrotherapy using an underwater treadmill to help pets regain mobility and strength safely and effectively.

We offer telehealth consultations for pets who may be stressed by office visits or when you need a convenient follow-up. Our team can assess your pet's needs remotely, whether from the comfort of home or even from our parking lot to minimize stress.
