Airline Animal Health-Surgery: Daniel M. Core DVM

We provide thorough annual wellness exams that evaluate your pet’s overall health, detect early signs of illness, and establish a baseline for their unique physiology. Our examinations include vital signs checks, nose-to-tail evaluations, and diagnostic screenings like bloodwork, urinalysis, and parasite tests. We emphasize comprehensive care to keep pets healthy at every life stage, from puppies/kittens to senior companions.

We offer specialized wellness protocols for young pets, including core vaccinations, parasite prevention, and developmental health assessments tailored to their age. Our packages cover preventive care like deworming, vaccination schedules (starting at 6–8 weeks), and dietary guidance to build a strong foundation for your puppy or kitten’s lifelong health.

We provide enhanced wellness care for senior pets, including bimonthly or quarterly exams, advanced screening for age-related diseases (kidney, liver, heartwork), and tailored preventive strategies. Our team monitors mobility, weight, and dental health closely to address age-specific concerns early and improve their quality of life.

We provide essential core vaccinations like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus as part of our preventive care plans. These vaccines safeguard pets against severe, often fatal diseases. Following AAHA guidelines, we customize vaccination schedules based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and health status, with boosters administered as recommended.

We provide annual heartworm testing and year-round prevention to protect pets from this deadly parasite. Our prevention plans include FDA-approved medications and monitoring, with follow-up exams to ensure continued safety. Heartworm prevention is a critical part of our comprehensive parasite control program.

Our team partners with you to create balanced meal plans for every life stage, including obesity management, specialized diets (e.g., kidney-friendly, diabetic), and guidance on proper food portions.

We perform routine fecal testing and deworming to eliminate intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. Testing is part of our annual wellness exams, and we prescribe targeted dewormers based on the results to keep your pet parasite-free and healthy.

We offer electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG) services to assess heart rhythm, diagnose cardiac conditions, monitor medication effectiveness, and support patients with heart disease. EKGs are part of our advanced diagnostics and are performed during specialty exams or when heart-related symptoms arise.

Every professional cleaning includes advanced dental X-rays to examine tooth roots, bone structure, and subgingival problems. This critical step ensures we don’t miss oral health issues (e.g., fractures, abscesses, or early-stage periodontal disease) to recommend the best treatment plan.

We perform surgical tooth extractions for pets with severe periodontal disease, fractured teeth, or abscesses. Our team uses advanced oral surgery techniques under anesthesia, ensuring your pet experiences minimal pain before, during, and after the procedure.

We treat periodontal disease with a comprehensive approach, including deep cleanings, antimicrobial treatments, and home care education. Early intervention helps prevent tooth loss, infection spread, and secondary health issues affecting the kidneys, liver, and heart.

We teach dental at-home care techniques for your pet, such as tooth-brushing, dental rinses, and diet adjustments. Part of our preventative strategy, this reduces tartar buildup and complements professional cleanings to improve your pet’s oral health between visits.

We perform sterilization surgeries (ovariohysterectomy for females and castration for males) on pets as young as 4 months (small breeds) to 12 months (large breeds). Our surgical packages include IV fluids, anesthesia monitoring, advanced pain management (multiple pain medications), and post-op care instructions for safe recovery.

We handle emergency foreign body removals, including swallowed objects and deep cuts, using endoscopy, soft tissue surgery, or fluoroscopy for real-time guidance. Early intervention prevents complications, and we closely monitor recovery in our 24-hour hospitalization unit.

We safely perform cesarean sections when natural delivery poses risks to mother and pups due to dystocia, small litters, or complications. Our surgical team ensures sterile environments, oxygen support, and critical care for both mother and newborns during and after the procedure.

We close wounds, lacerations, and surgical incisions with meticulous suturing techniques, hydroactive dressings, or advanced adhesive closure methods. All wounds receive infection prevention protocols and tailored care plans to promote rapid healing.

We offer physical rehabilitation services for pets recovering from surgery, joint issues (e.g., hip dysplasia), or neurologic damage. Our program includes supervised exercises, laser therapy, underwater treadmill sessions, and custom strength-building routines.

We provide underwater treadmill therapy—a low-impact, high-benefit method for improving muscle strength, reducing joint stiffness, and aiding recovery in pets with orthopedic injuries, arthritis, or postsurgery limitations. Sessions are customizable and performed by certified rehabilitation specialists.
