Alpine Pet Care Center

We provide thorough yearly exams (bi-annual for geriatric patients) to detect early signs of diseases like heart disease, dental issues, skin/ear conditions, nutritional disorders, cognitive dysfunction, arthritis, and more—helping prevent clinical symptoms before they become obvious.

We emphasize bi-annual exams for senior pets to monitor age-related conditions early. Our approach includes tailored bloodwork, pain management, and preventive care to improve quality of life and longevity for aging companions.

We administer routine vaccinations following AVMA protocols to protect pets from core diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus as part of our preventative medicine program.

We recommend yearly heartworm testing for all pets and provide prevention medications to safeguard against this potentially fatal disease, as part of our preventative care routine.

While not explicitly detailed on the page, we strongly emphasize preventative medicine, which includes flea and tick prevention to protect pets from parasites and associated diseases like Lyme.

We perform in-house bloodwork for annual wellness checks, pre-surgical screenings, and emergency diagnostics to monitor organ function and detect early signs of illness. For complex cases, we may use external labs.

We utilize an in-house X-ray machine, including dental radiography, to diagnose fractures, tumors, organ abnormalities, and dental disease with precision for accurate treatment planning.

We provide dental X-rays as part of our comprehensive oral health assessments, allowing us to detect hidden issues like root infections, fractures, or periodontal disease not visible during a standard exam.

We perform spay and neuter surgeries in a sterile environment under general anesthesia with advanced pain management and same-day discharge for most patients to ensure safe, comfortable recovery at home.

We provide emergency stabilization for critically ill or injured pets, including IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and immediate diagnostics to prepare patients for further care or referral if needed.

For pets requiring intensive care, we offer hospitalization with 24-hour monitoring. In complex cases, we may refer patients to specialty clinics or provide at-home care with our doctors for continuous oversight.

We administer IV fluid therapy as part of emergency stabilization and hospitalization protocols to correct dehydration, support organ function, and aid recovery in sick pets.

Our clinic prioritizes pain management using the most effective methods for surgical patients and those with chronic conditions, ensuring comfort during recovery and improved healing outcomes.

We provide chemotherapy treatments in-house and collaborate with oncologists at Auburn University for advanced protocols. Complex cases may be referred to specialists in Nashville or Louisville for radiation therapy.

We offer quality of life assessments to help pet owners make informed decisions about their companion’s care, especially in geriatric or terminal cases, focusing on comfort and dignity.
