Guttenberg Veterinary Clinic

We offer Comprehensive Physical Exams for every pet that comes through our doors. During these thorough check-ups, we evaluate your animal's overall health, discuss any concerns you may have, and establish a baseline for future care. We take the time to listen to your pet's heart and lungs, examine their eyes, ears, and mouth, and assess their skin and coat condition. These exams are the foundation of preventive veterinary medicine and help us catch potential issues early.

We provide specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed specifically for young animals. These packages include a series of age-appropriate examinations, vaccinations, deworming treatments, and nutritional counseling tailored to the unique needs of growing pets.

Protecting your pet from these preventable illnesses is a cornerstone of our preventive care approach.

We provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention to safeguard your pet against this serious and potentially fatal condition. Our heartworm testing is performed annually or as recommended based on your pet's risk factors, and we offer a variety of preventive medications that are safe, effective, and easy to administer.

Effective flea and tick prevention is essential for your pet's comfort and overall health.

We provide Microchipping & Registration services to ensure your pet's safe return if they ever become lost. Our veterinarians implant a small, sterile microchip beneath your pet's skin using a technique similar to a routine vaccination. We then register the chip with your contact information in a national database that can be accessed by animal shelters and veterinary clinics nationwide. This permanent form of identification gives you peace of mind knowing that your pet can be reunited with you even if they wander far from home.

We offer Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services to help your pet maintain optimal health through proper diet and portion control. Our veterinarians and certified technicians will assess your pet's current body condition, discuss their nutritional needs based on age, breed, activity level, and health status, and recommend a tailored feeding plan. We can help you navigate the confusing world of pet food labels and make informed choices about the best diet for your pet. Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for preventing obesity-related diseases and extending your pet's lifespan.

We provide regular Parasite Deworming (Intestinal) to protect your pet from harmful intestinal parasites. Based on your pet's lifestyle and risk factors, we recommend a deworming schedule that may include single or multiple treatments throughout the year. We identify the specific parasites present through fecal testing when appropriate and prescribe the most effective medication to eliminate them. Effective deworming is essential for preventing gastrointestinal issues, nutrient deficiencies, and potential transmission to other pets or humans.

We offer Behavioral Counseling to address a wide range of behavioral issues that pet owners may encounter. Our experienced staff works with you to identify the root causes of problematic behaviors and develop effective, positive reinforcement-based strategies to modify them.

We perform In-House Bloodwork including CBC and Chemistry Panels to provide rapid diagnostic results for our patients. Our in-clinic laboratory allows us to run a wide variety of tests quickly, enabling us to diagnose underlying health conditions more efficiently. Complete Blood Counts help us evaluate red and white blood cells, while chemistry panels assess organ function through measurements of electrolytes, liver enzymes, kidney values, and more. These diagnostic tools are essential for identifying illnesses early and developing effective treatment plans.

We offer Urinalysis as a non-invasive diagnostic tool to evaluate your pet's kidney function, detect urinary tract infections, and identify other systemic health issues. This simple test examines the physical and chemical properties of your pet's urine, including pH, specific gravity, protein levels, and the presence of cells or crystals. Urinalysis can provide early clues about conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, and bladder infections that may not be apparent through other means. Regular urinalysis is an important part of preventive care, especially for senior pets.

We provide Fecal Testing to detect intestinal parasites and other gastrointestinal abnormalities in your pet. This test involves examining a fresh stool sample under a microscope to identify eggs, cysts, or other signs of parasitic infection. We may perform multiple tests to increase accuracy, as some parasites are not always shed consistently. Fecal testing is a critical component of preventive care and helps us diagnose and treat parasitic infections before they cause significant health problems.

We utilize Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to produce high-quality images for diagnosing a wide range of internal conditions in pets. This advanced technology allows us to visualize bones, lungs, heart, and abdominal organs with remarkable clarity while using less radiation than traditional film-based systems. Digital radiography enables faster image acquisition, easier sharing with specialists, and the ability to enhance images for better diagnostic accuracy. These non-invasive imaging studies are essential for identifying fractures, tumors, heart disease, and other internal abnormalities.

We offer Ultrasound Imaging as a safe, non-invasive diagnostic tool to visualize soft tissue structures in your pet's body. This technology uses sound waves to create real-time images of organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, and reproductive organs. Ultrasound is particularly valuable for diagnosing conditions like pregnancy, abdominal masses, heart disease, and gastrointestinal disorders. Our veterinarians are trained in interpreting these images to provide accurate diagnoses and develop appropriate treatment plans.

We provide Allergy Testing to identify the specific environmental or food allergens that may be causing discomfort for your pet. Our veterinarians can perform intradermal skin testing or recommend blood testing to pinpoint the exact triggers behind your pet's allergic reactions. Once identified, we develop a customized treatment plan that may include allergen avoidance, prescription medications, or immunotherapy (allergy shots). Managing allergies effectively can significantly improve your pet's quality of life and reduce chronic skin and ear infections.

We offer Eye Pressure Testing (Glaucoma Screening) to detect early signs of glaucoma and other ocular conditions in pets. Using a specialized tonometer, we measure intraocular pressure quickly and painlessly during routine examinations.

Regular screening is especially important for breeds predisposed to this condition, and we work with owners to manage the disease proactively to preserve their pet's vision.

We provide Blood Pressure Monitoring to assess your pet's cardiovascular health and detect hypertension, which can be a sign of underlying medical conditions. Using a non-invasive cuff-based method similar to human blood pressure monitoring, we measure systolic and diastolic pressures during routine exams or when evaluating organ function. Monitoring blood pressure is particularly important for senior pets and those with kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, or heart conditions. Early detection and management of hypertension can help protect vital organs and improve your pet's overall prognosis.

We perform EKG / ECG (Heart Monitoring) to evaluate your pet's cardiac rhythm and detect potential heart abnormalities. This non-invasive test records the electrical activity of the heart, helping us identify arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and signs of heart disease. Our veterinarians are trained to interpret EKG results and may recommend further diagnostic tests or treatments based on the findings. Early detection of cardiac issues is essential for managing heart conditions effectively and maintaining your pet's heart health.

We utilize Dental X-Rays to examine the health of your pet's teeth and supporting structures below the gum line. These images reveal hidden problems such as abscesses, bone loss, cracked teeth, and impacted teeth that may not be visible during a visual examination.
