Maplewood Veterinary Center

We provide thorough comprehensive physical exams for pets of all life stages to ensure early detection of health concerns, tailored health recommendations, and proactive care plans. Our exams include a head-to-tail evaluation, assessment of nutritional status, and personalized wellness guidance. Whether it’s your puppy’s first visit or your senior pet’s biannual checkup, we prioritize thoroughness and compassion.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to safeguard your new pet’s health during their critical first year. These plans include developmental exams, core + lifestyle vaccinations (e.g., rabies, distemper, parvo, and optional lepto/lyme/bordetella), parasite deworming, heartworm testing, microchipping, and tailored spay/neuter recommendations. We also provide educational support for puppy/kitten proofing and early socialization.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care program addresses the unique needs of aging pets, including early detection screenings (bloodwork, urinalysis, and radiographs) for conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, thyroid disorders, and heart issues. We offer personalized care plans focusing on pain management, nutrition adjustments, and lifestyle modifications—because we believe in preserving quality of life as pets age gracefully.

We administer all core vaccinations (including rabies, distemper, and parvovirus) to protect your pet from serious, sometimes life-threatening diseases. Our vaccination protocols follow veterinary guidelines and are customized based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors. We also provide booster schedules to ensure long-term immunity.

We provide heartworm testing (annual or semiannual based on risk) and prevention programs using FDA-approved medications like injectable Proheart (6- or 12-month formulations). Early detection and prevention are critical, as heartworm disease can be fatal. We discuss risk factors with pet owners to create a customized prevention plan.

Our clinic offers flea and tick prevention treatments tailored to your pet’s environment and activity level. We provide medications, topical treatments, and collars to control infestations and reduce the risk of transmitted diseases like Lyme or Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Seasonal reassessments ensure optimal protection year-round.

We perform microchipping and registration services for added security if your pet ever becomes lost. Our Avid or HomeAgain microchips are implanted quickly and painlessly, with lifetime registration through our PetDesk app or USDA databases. We also verify microchip functionality during wellness exams.

Our team provides nutritional counseling to address weight management, dietary sensitivities, and special health needs like diabetes or kidney disease. We collaborate with reputable brands to recommend prescription diets, portion control strategies, and feeding schedules—because proper nutrition is the foundation of long-term health.

We administer parasite deworming treatments for intestinal worms (roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms) as part of our preventive care programs or during wellness exams. Fecal testing is often performed to identify infections, and we provide tailored deworming protocols for puppies, kittens, and adult pets.

With our advanced in-house bloodwork lab, we deliver fast and accurate CBC (complete blood count) and chemistry panels to diagnose illnesses like anemia, organ dysfunction, thyroid disorders, and diabetes. Rapid results allow us to initiate treatment promptly—another reason we prioritize state-of-the-art diagnostics.

We offer urinalysis as part of our diagnostic services to assess kidney function, detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), and monitor conditions like diabetes or crystals. This test is especially valuable for senior pets or those showing signs of pain during urination, blood in urine, or increased thirst.

Our clinic performs fecal testing (parasitology) to identify intestinal parasites like giardia, coccidia, and worms. This is particularly important before spay/neuter surgeries, during puppy/kitten exams, or when pets exhibit signs of gastrointestinal upset. We use microscopic analysis and fecal flotation tests for accuracy.

We utilize digital X-rays to diagnose fractures, chronic arthritic changes, foreign objects, cardiac conditions, and more. Our radiology suite captures high-resolution images instantly, allowing for same-day interpretations by our vet team. X-rays are integral to preoperative planning (e.g., TPLO surgery) and post-surgical evaluations.

Our ultrasound imaging service provides noninvasive evaluations of abdominal organs (liver, spleen, kidneys), reproductive health, and internal masses. Ultrasound guides biopsies, monitors pregnancies, and assesses heart function—offering invaluable insights without anesthesia. We use this tool for accurate diagnostics in cases like unexplained weight loss or palpable lumps.

Our dental X-rays (intraoral radiographs) help identify hidden issues like root abscesses, tooth resorption (common in cats), and fractures. These images are vital for diagnosing conditions invisible to the naked eye and guiding extractions or periodontal treatments.

We perform both simple and surgical tooth extractions to treat severe periodontal disease, fractured teeth, or abscesses. Our approach minimizes discomfort through anesthesia and post-operative pain medication, ensuring a dignified recovery. We educate pet owners on at-home dental care to prevent future extractions.

For complex oral health issues, our oral surgery services address problems like oral tumors, fractures requiring wire stabilization, or jaw masses. Procedures are performed with advanced tools to preserve tissue and speed healing, followed by detailed care instructions to monitor recovery.

We treat periodontal disease with deep cleanings, scaling, root planing, and antimicrobial gels to reduce gum pockets. Advanced cases may require oral surgery or extractions. Early intervention is key, as periodontal disease can lead to systemic illnesses like heart or kidney disease in pets.

We perform routine spay & neuter surgeries (ovariohysterectomies for females, castrations for males) as part of our preventive care initiatives. Our team ensures pain management, sterile procedures, and comprehensive aftercare instructions to promote smooth recoveries. These procedures reduce health risks like cancers and unwanted pregnancies while aiding behavior control.

When pets swallow non-food items (e.g., toys, bones, or household objects), our foreign body removal services include diagnostic imaging, surgical retrieval, and close monitoring post-procedure. Early intervention prevents complications like intestinal obstruction or perforation, ensuring your pet’s safety during emergencies.

We offer comprehensive pain management solutions using prescription medications, injections, physical modalities, and alternative therapies. Whether for post-surgical recovery, chronic arthritis, or acute injuries, our goal is to enhance your pet’s comfort without compromising safety. We continually monitor and adjust treatment plans.

In cases of poison or toxin exposure (e.g., chocolate, lilies, antifreeze, or household toxins), we provide emergency treatment including induced vomiting, intravenous fluids, gastrointestinal protectants, and supportive care. Quick action can be life-saving in these situations.

As part of our preventive care, we offer nail trimming and dremeling services to avoid overgrowth, cracks, or painful nail beds. Our team ensures a stress-free experience with proper restraint and uses specialized tools to maintain nail health. We also advise pet owners on at-home maintenance.

Our physical therapy & rehabilitation services include underwater treadmills, hydrotherapy (referral-based), and customized exercise plans to restore mobility after surgery or injury. We assess muscle strength, joint mobility, and pain levels to design tailored recovery programs for orthopedic and neurological cases.
