Johnson Veterinary Clinic

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for every pet visit, whether routine or during wellness checks. Our exams include full head-to-tail evaluations to assess overall health, detect early signs of illness, and develop a customized health plan. We prioritize regular check-ups to ensure your pet remains in optimal condition throughout all life stages—from youth to senior care.

We offer tailored Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to set your new pet up for a lifetime of health. These include core vaccinations, parasite prevention, nutritional guidance, and growth monitoring. Our packages are designed to address the unique needs of young animals while teaching owners essential care habits to foster healthy development.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on proactive aging management through comprehensive exams, specialized bloodwork, and early disease detection (e.g., kidney function, thyroid health). We adjust care plans annually to address arthritis, dental disease, and age-related conditions, ensuring your elderly pet enjoys quality years. Senior discounts on preventative services are also available.

We administer Core Vaccinations like rabies, distemper, and parvo as part of our basic immunizations protocol, regardless of lifestyle. These safeguard your pet against highly contagious, often life-threatening diseases. Vaccination records are meticulously maintained to comply with Kentucky state laws and ensure your pet’s protection during socialization.

We provide annual Heartworm Testing & Prevention through blood tests and FDA-approved preventatives. Heartworm disease is fatal without treatment, and our clinic combines early detection with year-round preventive medications to protect your pet. Testing is included in our wellness packages, even for indoor pets.

Our clinic offers a variety of Flea & Tick Prevention options, including topical treatments, oral chewables, and environmental control products. We recommend tailored plans based on your pet’s breed, season, and local Shelby County risks (e.g., Lyme ticks). Preventative care reduces allergies, infections, and even tick-borne diseases.

We implant Microchipping for pets during wellness visits (or standalone appointments) and register chips in national databases like HomeAgain or AVID. With 1 in 3 pets lost at some point, our microchips increase the likelihood of reunification should your pet escape. Registration is done in-clinic with your contact information kept up-to-date perpetually.

Through Nutritional Counseling, we diagnose dietary needs (e.g., weight loss, allergies, kidney disease) and prescribe prescription diets from our on-site pharmacy. Our team educates owners on portion control, feeding schedules, and treats to maintain a healthy body condition. We regularly reassess progress during follow-up visits.

As part of preventative care, we perform Parasite Deworming (e.g., for hookworms, roundworms) through fecal testing and targeted medications. Deworming is critical for puppies/kittens and pets with suspected infestations—symptoms like weight loss, scooting, or diarrhea warrant immediate intervention.

Our in-house laboratory provides In-House Bloodwork, including CBCs (Complete Blood Count) and Chemistry Panels, to diagnose illnesses like diabetes, liver/kidney disease, or thyroid disorders. Fast results (usually 20–30 minutes) allow us to begin treatments sooner, reducing stress for your pet and ensuring timely care.

We offer Urinalysis as part of comprehensive exams or diagnostic workups, which screens for urinary tract infections, crystals, or kidney disease. This non-invasive test complements bloodwork and is essential for pets exhibiting signs like increased thirst, straining to urinate, or bloody urine.

Our Digital X-Rays (Radiography) facilitate rapid diagnosis of broken bones, organ abnormalities, or chronic conditions like arthritis. High-quality digital images allow our vets to visualize issues like bladder stones, foreign objects, or spinal problems immediately. Results are shared with owners for clarity and peace of mind.

We utilize Ultrasound Imaging to evaluate abdominal organs, pregnancies, or heart function without radiation exposure. Ultrasounds are especially useful for diagnosing reproductive issues, heartworm disease, or tumors. Our in-house machine enables same-day imaging and immediate interpretation by our veterinarians.

Our Dental X-Rays reveal hidden issues beneath the gumline, such as root infections, jaw fractures, or hidden teeth. While annual cleanings include basic X-rays, we perform additional images during procedures like extractions or when advanced dental disease is suspected. Painless and quick, this equipment is integral to our Professional Dental Cleaning services.

We perform Tooth Extractions using digital dental X-rays to guide precise procedures under anesthesia. Extraction is often necessary for fractured teeth, severe decay, or periodontal disease. Our goal is to preserve your pet’s dental health while minimizing discomfort, often recommending extractions during routine cleanings if issues are detected.

We offer Spay & Neuter Surgery as a routine, life-saving procedure with board-certified surgeons and modern pain management. This helps prevent cancer (e.g., mammary tumors), unwanted litters, and behavioral issues. We perform surgery with minimal recovery time and provide post-op instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.

We provide emergency and elective Wound & Laceration Repair with precise suturing or advanced wound management techniques. Our on-site lab supports pre-surgical diagnostics (e.g., Digital X-Rays to detect fragments) before closing wounds. Follow-ups ensure proper healing and infection prevention.

During Emergency Stabilization, we prioritize immediate care through IV fluids (IV Fluid Therapy), wound repair, or pain management for traumatic injuries or acute illnesses. Our clinic coordinates with 24-hour emergency partners in Shelby County to ensure continuous stabilization and transfer if advanced care is needed.

For prolonged recovery or critical illness, we provide Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring in a controlled hospital environment. Our setup includes oxygen therapy, IV medications, and continuous vitals tracking to address conditions like toxin ingestion, post-surgical pain, or severe infections.

We deliver compassionate Pain Management with multi-modal approaches, including prescription medications, injections, or laser therapy. Whether for dental extractions, orthopedic surgery, or chronic conditions like arthritis, our protocols are tailored to improve quality of life while minimizing discomfort.

In cases of poisoning (e.g., chocolate, lilies, rodenticide, or human medications), we provide emergency treatment, including IV fluids, activated charcoal, and pain management. We collaborate with toxicology databases and local emergency clinics if advanced decontamination is necessary.

Our medical grooming services address specific health conditions, such as medicated baths (e.g., for hot spots or allergies), anal gland expression (for scooting dogs), and ear cleaning, especially for breeds prone to infections. We also address safety concerns like overgrown nails (nail trimming & dremeling) to prevent injuries.

We provide Quality of Life Assessments during senior pet care discussions to evaluate pain levels, mobility, and overall well-being. This helps guide decisions on treatments or end-of-life choices, with a focus on maximizing comfort and dignity. Owners receive personalized guidance for every stage of their pet’s journey.
