Coyne Veterinary Center - Crown Point

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for every pet that walks through our doors. Our veterinarians conduct detailed nose-to-tail evaluations to assess your pet’s overall health, catch early signs of illness, and ensure their well-being at every life stage. Whether it's a routine checkup or a targeted exam, we focus on proactive care tailored to your pet’s unique needs.

Our Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages are designed to give your young pets a healthy start in life. These packages include tailored vaccines, deworming, parasite prevention, and foundational wellness exams to protect them from common early-life threats like parvovirus, distemper, and fleas. We also provide educational resources to help you navigate feeding, socialization, and training during this critical growth period.

We offer specialized Senior Pet Wellness Care to address the unique health needs of aging pets, typically starting around 7 years of age. This includes comprehensive exams, advanced diagnostics like bloodwork and urinalysis, dental care, and personalized recommendations for diet, supplements, and preventive measures to manage conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, and diabetes. Early detection is key to extending your senior pet’s comfort and longevity.

We provide essential Core Vaccinations for dogs and cats, including Rabies, Distemper, and Parvovirus for dogs, and Rabies and FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia) for cats. These vaccines are critical for protecting your pets from deadly and highly contagious diseases that are pervasive in the community. We follow strict vaccination guidelines to ensure your pet remains safely immunized year-round.

We perform Heartworm Testing annually for dogs and provide year-round Heartworm Prevention to safeguard your pet from this potentially fatal parasitic disease, transmitted by mosquitoes. Our prevention plans include monthly medications and guidance on reducing your pet’s exposure to mosquitoes, ensuring their heart and lungs remain healthy. Early detection and treatment are critical for managing heartworm disease.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention programs include a range of topical, oral, and veterinary-strength treatments to keep your pets free from parasites year-round. We recommend customized plans based on your pet’s age, breed, and risk of exposure, whether they’re indoor companions or outdoor adventurers. Preventing flea and tick infestations also helps avoid secondary conditions like allergies, infections, and vector-borne diseases.

We offer Microchipping & Registration as a permanent form of identification for your pet. This simple, one-time procedure implants a microchip under the skin, storing vital contact information to safely reunite you with your pet if they ever get lost. We also ensure your pet’s information is accurately registered in a national database, and we scan for microchips during every wellness and emergency visit.

Our Parasite Deworming services target intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms, which are common in both puppies/kittens and adult pets. We test for parasites during wellness exams and treat infections to relieve discomfort, prevent secondary health issues, and protect your household from zoonotic risks. Deworming is often included in our wellness packages and recommended on a schedule based on your pet’s risk factors.

We conduct In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to monitor your pet’s overall health, diagnose illness early, and guide treatment plans. These tests provide valuable insights into organ function, infection, anemia, diabetes, and other conditions. Bloodwork is especially recommended for senior pets, dogs or cats with chronic illnesses, or those undergoing surgeries or medications with potential side effects.

Our Urinalysis service evaluates your pet’s urine for signs of urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, crystals, or other abnormalities. This diagnostic test is crucial for detecting early-stage conditions that can lead to discomfort or organ damage if left untreated. We recommend urinalysis as part of routine wellness exams, especially for senior pets or those showing symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, or straining.

We offer Fecal Testing to identify intestinal parasites and pathogens in your pet’s stool, which can cause weight loss, diarrhea, vomiting, or other gastrointestinal issues. Early detection and treatment prevent complications and protect your pet’s health, as well as your family’s. Fecal tests are included in many of our wellness packages and recommended annually for pets, especially those with outdoor access.

Our facility is equipped with Digital X-Rays to diagnose and monitor conditions such as fractures, arthritis, heart and lung issues, tumors, and foreign objects. Digital radiography provides high-resolution images instantly, improving accuracy and reducing the need for retakes. X-rays are commonly used for pre-surgical planning, post-traumatic evaluations, and monitoring chronic conditions like dental disease or hip dysplasia.

We provide Ultrasound Imaging to visualize internal organs, pregnancy (including C-sections for high-risk births), tumors, fluid accumulation, and other abnormalities that may not be visible on X-rays. Ultrasound is a non-invasive, painless test that helps us diagnose conditions like heartworm disease, liver or kidney disease, and reproductive health issues, often guiding surgical or medical treatment decisions.

Our Blood Pressure Monitoring service is essential for diagnosing and managing conditions like hypertension, which can affect pets as much as humans. We use specialized equipment to measure your pet’s blood pressure during wellness or sick visits, especially for senior pets or those with heart, kidney, or endocrine diseases. Early detection allows us to adjust medications or lifestyles to prevent organ damage.

We perform EKG / ECG (Heart Monitoring) to assess your pet’s heart rhythm and detect conditions like arrhythmias, heart enlargement, or congenital heart defects. An EKG is a quick, non-invasive test that helps us diagnose issues contributing to coughing, fainting, fatigue, or heart murmurs. This monitoring is often paired with X-rays or ultrasounds for comprehensive cardiac evaluation.

We use Dental X-Rays to identify hidden dental problems like fractured teeth, abscesses, root infections, or bone loss beneath the gumline, which are not visible during a standard oral exam. Dental radiography is crucial for accurately diagnosing issues requiring extraction, root canal therapy, or other treatments. We recommend dental X-rays as part of every professional cleaning or if your pet shows signs of dental pain.

We offer Tooth Extractions for damaged, decayed, or diseased teeth that cannot be conserved with procedures like root canals or fillings. Our veterinarians perform extractions under anesthesia to ensure safety and minimal discomfort. We use techniques like laser surgery to control bleeding and promote faster healing. Extractions are often performed in conjunction with dental cleanings or as standalone procedures for severe cases.

Our Oral Surgery services address complex dental and maxillofacial issues, including fractured jaws, cysts, tumors, and severe periodontal disease. We use advanced techniques like laser surgery, jaw realignment, or extractions to treat these conditions, often performed by or in collaboration with a board-certified veterinary surgeon. Post-operative care includes pain management, special diets, and follow-up exams to ensure optimal recovery.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery as a routine preventive procedure to reduce the risk of reproductive cancers, infections (like pyometra), and unwanted litters. Our spay/neuter services include pre-surgical bloodwork, pain management protocols, and post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. These surgeries are recommended for pets as early as 6 months of age and align with humane population control efforts.

In cases where your pet accidentally ingests or swallows non-food items (e.g., bones, toys, or foreign objects), we provide Foreign Body Removal through endoscopy or surgery. Prompt intervention is crucial to prevent intestinal blockages, perforations, or internal damage. Our team uses diagnostic imaging to locate and safely retrieve foreign objects, prioritizing your pet’s swift recovery.

We perform C-Sections in cases where natural birth is unsafe for the mother or puppies/kittens, including complications like dystocia (obstructed labor), maternal exhaustion, or fetal distress. Our hospital is equipped to handle C-sections safely, often utilizing progesterone testing for breeding timing. Recovery involves close monitoring of both mother and offspring and may include ultrasound guidance for high-risk cases.

Our Wound & Laceration Repair services provide advanced care for injuries caused by accidents, fights, surgeries, or other trauma. We use suturing, stapling, or specialized dressings (like negative pressure wound therapy) to promote healing and minimize scarring. Wound care often includes antibiotics, pain management, and rehabilitation plans tailored to your pet’s needs.

We provide Emergency Stabilization for critically ill or injured pets, including trauma care, IV fluids, cardiac monitoring, and oxygen therapy to restore vital signs before advanced diagnostics. Our team is trained to triage emergencies like poisoning, heatstroke, or severe wounds, often working in collaboration with emergency veterinary specialists when specialized care is required outside of normal business hours.

Our Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring services ensure pets requiring intensive care receive constant supervision, medication administration, and rehabilitation. We offer a safe, comfortable recovery environment with access to pain management, IV fluids, feeding tubes, and skilled nursing care. Hospitalization may be necessary post-surgery, for chronic conditions, or during critical phases of illness.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy to hydrate pets suffering from dehydration, shock, kidney disease, or post-surgical recovery. Fluids help maintain electrolyte balance, improve circulation, and support organ function. Our team monitors your pet’s response closely, adjusting treatment plans as needed to ensure rapid recovery and comfort.

Our Pain Management protocols include pharmaceuticals, laser therapy, acupuncture, and other modalities to alleviate discomfort for pets undergoing surgery, recovering from injuries, or living with chronic pain (e.g., arthritis). We assess pain levels using veterinary-specific tests and provide personalized plans to enhance your pet’s quality of life, often combining medications with non-invasive therapies for holistic relief.

In cases of accidental poisoning (e.g., chocolate, lilies, rodenticides, or human medications), we provide immediate Poison & Toxin Treatment to decontaminate your pet’s system and counteract toxins. Treatments may include induced vomiting, activated charcoal, IV fluids, or medications to support organ function. Prompt action significantly improves outcomes—contact us 24/7 if you suspect your pet has ingested a toxic substance.

We offer Anal Gland Expression to relieve discomfort or infections caused by impacted anal glands, commonly seen in dogs like Beagles or Basset Hounds bred with predispositions. Our veterinarians perform routine expressions during grooming visits or as needed to prevent impaction, scooting, and potential abscesses. Regular anal gland care is included in many wellness and grooming packages.

Our Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation programs address conditions like mobility issues, neurological disorders, and chronic pain using exercises, laser therapy, massage, and assisted movement techniques. Rehabilitation plans are tailored to your pet’s diagnosis (e.g., IVDD, TPLO recovery, or stroke) and often include home exercises to maintain progress between sessions. We collaborate with certified veterinary rehabilitation therapists to optimize outcomes.

We provide Hydrotherapy using underwater treadmills to rehabilitate pets with orthopedic injuries, arthritis, or post-surgical conditions. The buoyant water reduces joint stress while increasing muscle strength and circulation, accelerating recovery. Hydrotherapy is especially beneficial for senior pets or those recovering from cruciate ligament repairs, hip dysplasia, or spinal injuries—performed under veterinary supervision for safety.

Our Standard Pet Boarding provides a safe, home-like environment for pets staying with us overnight, over weekends, or during vacations. We offer separate facilities for dogs and cats, each with outdoor play areas, supervised socialization, and regular meals. Boarding packages can include add-on services like grooming, medical visits, or specialized diets to tailor your pet’s stay to their needs.

We provide Doggie Daycare as an enriching, supervised environment for socialization, exercise, and play—perfect for pets who thrive with interaction but need a break from home. Our daycare includes structured playtimes, training opportunities, and health checks to ensure a fun, safe experience. We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your work or personal needs, with options for half-day or full-day care.

Our Domestic Travel Certificates service supports pets accompanying owners to other states or territories, ensuring they meet vaccination and health requirements. We issue certificates for travel between US states or to territories like Puerto Rico, often tied to specific regulations (e.g., rabies titers, flea/tick prevention). We guide you through the process with professional exams and documentation to ensure smooth travel.
