Richmond Road Veterinary Clinic

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages, from puppies and kittens to senior companions. These exams help detect early signs of illness, monitor growth, and ensure your pet remains healthy. We tailor the frequency of these exams based on life stage—more often for young or elderly pets—and address concerns like nutrition, behavior, and preventive care during each visit.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to support the critical early stages of your pet’s life. These packages include core vaccinations, deworming, spay/neuter surgeries (when appropriate), and nutritional counseling tailored for growth. We also provide guidance on behavior training, exercise, and parasite prevention to set your young pet up for a healthy future.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on pets aged eight and older, addressing age-related challenges like joint pain, kidney disease, diabetes, and dental issues. We recommend bi-annual exams, diagnostic testing (bloodwork, urinalysis, radiographs), and adjustments to medications, diet, or mobility needs. Our goal is to enhance comfort and quality of life during your pet’s golden years.

We administer essential Core Vaccinations for rabies, distemper, and parvovirus to protect pets from serious, often fatal diseases. These vaccines are a cornerstone of preventive care, especially for puppies and kittens, and we follow strict protocols to ensure immunity while minimizing risks.

We provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention year-round for dogs and cats, as heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes and can be fatal. Annual testing ensures early detection, while preventive medications (administered monthly) safeguard your pet’s health. We also educate owners on reducing mosquito exposure.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention services include safe, effective monthly treatments to protect pets from parasites that cause itching, skin infections, and diseases like Lyme disease. We tailor prevention plans for individual pets and emphasize year-round protection in Kentucky’s climate, where fleas and ticks thrive.

We offer Microchipping & Registration to ensure lost pets can be reunited with their families. Our clinic uses universal scanners compatible with all microchip brands, and we register chips in the Home Again database. We also help update contact information for adopted or relocated pets and recommend collars with ID tags as a backup.

Our veterinarians provide Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management to optimize your pet’s diet based on life stage, activity level, and health conditions (e.g., allergies or kidney disease). We stay updated on veterinary nutrition research and recommend foods that support robust bones, healthy skin, digestion, and weight control.

We offer Parasite Deworming for intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and giardia, which are common in puppies/kittens or pets with outdoor access. Stool testing and deworming protocols help eliminate these parasites, preventing symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, and weight loss while protecting your family from zoonotic risks.

Our clinic performs In-House Bloodwork, including complete blood counts (CBCs) and chemistry panels, to diagnose illnesses like infections, organ dysfunction, or diabetes. These tests provide rapid results during wellness exams or illness evaluations, allowing us to tailor treatment plans promptly.

We conduct Urinalysis to assess kidney function, detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), crystals, or diabetes in pets. This diagnostic tool is especially valuable for senior pets or those showing signs of discomfort during urination, helping us address issues early.

Our Fecal Testing service screens for intestinal parasites (e.g., giardia, coccidia) and blood in stool, which may indicate serious conditions. We collect samples during exams or provide kits for at-home submission, ensuring comprehensive parasite prevention.

We use Digital X-Rays to diagnose fractures, tumors, heart/lung issues, and dental disease without invasive procedures. Our on-site radiology equipment provides high-quality images instantly, reducing radiation exposure and allowing our vets to zoom in for precise evaluations.

Our Ultrasound Imaging service uses sound waves to examine internal organs (e.g., liver, kidneys) when bloodwork or X-rays suggest abnormalities. Performed by a board-certified sonographer, ultrasounds help diagnose pregnancy, masses, fluid accumulation, and more—all while keeping your pet comfortable.

We provide EKG/ECG services to monitor heart rate and rhythm in pets showing symptoms like fainting or heart murmurs. This painless, noninvasive test helps detect irregularities early, ensuring timely treatment for conditions like heart disease or medication side effects.

Our Dental X-Rays reveal problems below the gumline (e.g., abscesses, fractured teeth) during cleanings or exams. These images guide treatment decisions and ensure comprehensive oral care.

We perform Tooth Extractions for diseased or broken teeth under anesthesia, using advanced techniques to minimize discomfort. Post-op instructions include pain management and dietary restrictions to support healing.

Our clinic handles Oral Surgery, including extractions, jaw tumor removals, and fracture repairs. We use digital imaging for precision and provide post-surgical care to ensure optimal recovery.

We treat Periodontal Disease through cleanings, root planing (deep cleaning), and antibiotics if needed. Early intervention prevents tooth loss and systemic health issues linked to oral bacteria.

We educate pet owners on At-Home Dental Care, including brushing techniques, dental diets, and toys that reduce plaque. Regular home care complements professional cleanings to maintain your pet’s oral health.

Our clinic performs Spay & Neuter Surgery to prevent unwanted litters and reduce risks of cancers (e.g., mammary tumors), infections, and behavioral issues. We use sterile surgical suites, monitor anesthesia closely, and provide post-op care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Our vets perform Foreign Body Removal for ingested objects or embedded debris using endoscopy or surgery. We monitor cases closely to prevent complications like intestinal blockages.

We repair Wounds & Lacerations with sutures, staples, or advanced techniques (e.g., skin grafts) depending on severity. Post-op care includes infection prevention and activity restrictions to promote healing.

Our clinic removes Bladder Stones via cystotomy surgery when dietary management fails. We analyze stones to identify underlying causes (e.g., diet, metabolism) and prescribe preventive measures.

We perform Cherry Eye Repair, a surgical procedure to correct prolapsed gland tissue in the eye. This restores comfort and prevents chronic irritation or infection in affected breeds (e.g., Cocker Spaniels).

We provide Emergency Stabilization for acute illnesses or injuries, offering same-day appointments when possible. Our goal is to assess and treat critical conditions (e.g., poisoning, trauma) promptly while coordinating with after-hours emergency hospitals if needed.

For pets requiring Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring, we offer a dedicated recovery area staffed by trained technicians. This includes post-surgical care, chronic illness management, or intensive treatment for conditions like poisoning—with regular updates to keep you informed.

Our Pain Management services follow AAHA and AAFP guidelines, using medications, alternative therapies (e.g., physical therapy), and prescription diets to address arthritis, post-surgical pain, or chronic conditions. We create personalized plans to improve recovery and quality of life.

In cases of Poison & Toxin Treatment, we provide immediate care for ingestions (e.g., chocolate, lilies, human medications) or exposures. Our team may induce vomiting, administer IV fluids, or use antidotes while monitoring organ function to ensure safe recovery.

We offer Medical Grooming services like sanitary shaves (for urinary issues), nail trimming/dremeling, and ear cleaning—especially for pets with skin conditions or mobility limitations. These procedures support hygiene and comfort while minimizing stress.

Our clinic provides Anal Gland Expression to relieve discomfort from impacted anal glands in dogs, a common issue causing scooting or licking. We perform this service during exams or as needed to prevent infections and improve your pet’s well-being.

While not explicitly listed, we incorporate Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation principles into post-surgical and pain management care. This includes controlled exercise, hydrotherapy (e.g., underwater treadmills), and massage to improve mobility in pets recovering from orthopedic surgeries or chronic conditions.

We offer Massage Therapy as part of our rehabilitation and pain management programs. Gentle massage techniques help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance recovery for pets with arthritis or post-surgical stiffness.

For domestic travel, we provide Domestic Travel Certificates that verify vaccinations (e.g., rabies) for boarding facilities or pet-friendly accommodations. These certificates help ensure your pet’s safety and compliance during trips.

We offer Quality of Life Assessments to evaluate your senior or chronically ill pet’s comfort, mobility, appetite, and pain levels. These discussions help guide decisions about treatment plans or end-of-life care with compassion.

We coordinate At-Home Euthanasia Referrals with mobile veterinary services for pets where home is most comfortable. This option allows you to spend final moments with your pet in familiar surroundings, followed by cremation or memorial services.

We offer Telemedicine Consultations for minor concerns, prescription refills, or follow-ups. These virtual visits save time while ensuring you receive expert advice from our team.
