Kentucky Paws Animal Hospital

We provide thorough head-to-toe annual or semi-annual (for seniors/medically compromised pets) Comprehensive Physical Exams to monitor your pet’s health at every life stage. Our exams include heart, lung, abdominal, and joint evaluations to detect early signs of illness. We tailer exam frequency based on your pet’s age and needs—young pets may See exams yearly while seniors benefit from bi-annual visits.

We offer Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to set your new fur family member up for a lifetime of health. These packages include age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, flea/tick prevention, and personalized advice on growth and development. We prioritize early socialization and health education to help puppies and kittens transition smoothly into their homes.

For aging pets, we provide Senior Pet Wellness Care with tailored exams every 6 months to catch age-related conditions early. Services include advanced bloodwork, joint supplements recommendations, dietary adjustments, and screening for chronic diseases like diabetes or kidney disease. We focus on maintaining comfort and quality of life as your pets senior years progress.

We administer Core Vaccinations like Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo to protect your pet from deadly or highly contagious diseases. These vaccinations are essential for all dogs and cats, following CDC and AVMA guidelines. Vaccine protocols are customized based on your pet’s lifestyle, risk factors, and local disease prevalence.

We provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention with annual screenings for all canine patients, as recommended by the American Heartworm Society. Our preventative regimens include monthly medications to safeguard against infection, which can lead to severe heart and lung disease. Year-round prevention is a must in Kentucky’s climate.

We recommend and supply Flea & Tick Prevention treatments tailored to your pet’s needs, from topical solutions to oral medications. These products protect against ticks that carry Lyme disease and other parasites, ensuring your pet stays comfortable and parasitic-free, especially during peak seasons like spring and fall.

Intestinal parasite prevention and treatment is included in our Parasite Deworming services. We test fecal samples annually to identify parasites like roundworms, hookworms, or giardia and provide appropriate deworming protocols. Yearly deworming is essential, even for indoor pets, to break parasitic life cycles.

Our clinic offers In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, with same-day or rapid results for early disease detection. This allows us to monitor organ health, anemia, infections, and metabolic conditions like diabetes or kidney disease with precision and prompt treatment plans.

We perform Urinalysis as part of comprehensive bloodwork and wellness exams to screen for urinary tract infections, crystals, diabetes, and kidney problems. Early detection through urinalysis enables proactive management of these commonly painful and systemic conditions.

Our team conducts Fecal Testing to identify intestinal parasites, including roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. Routine testing is recommended for all pets, even indoor-only animals, as some parasites can cause serious—often asymptomatic—health issues.

We utilize Digital X-Rays for diagnostic imaging of orthopedic injuries, tumors, bladder stones, ingested objects, and other internal conditions. Our in-clinic radiology allows for quicker—and stress-reduced—imaging compared to outside labs, ensuring accurate diagnoses ranging from fractures to heart enlargement or pregnancy verification.

Every Professional Dental Cleaning includes Dental X-Rays to assess tooth roots, jawbone health, and hidden fractures. This advanced imaging guides treatment decisions like extractions or periodontal therapy. Unlike visual exams, X-rays catch 60% of dental disease hidden below the gumline.

Our veterinaris perform Tooth Extractions using sterile techniques to address decayed, fractured, or diseased teeth. We prioritize your pet’s comfort with in-clinic anesthesia and post-procedure pain management to ensure a smooth recovery.

Advanced cases of Periodontal Disease Treatment are handled through deep cleaning, scaling, and root planing below the gumline. We also provide follow-up care to manage infection and promote gum health, with a focus on oral hygiene to slow disease progression.

Our Spay & Neuter Surgery reduces the risk of cancer, uterine infections, and unwanted litters. Surgical procedures include standard spays and neuters, performed with strict sterile techniques and post-op care to ensure comfort. We also educate pet owners on recovery needs.

Our team expertly handles Wound & Laceration Repair, cleaning wounds and suturing injuries to prevent infection and speed healing. We manage everything from scrapes to deep cuts with careful follow-up care for optimal recovery.
