South Lafourche Vet Clinic

We provide thorough yearly physical examinations for pets of all ages to assess overall health and catch early signs of illness. Our exams ensure your pet receives personalized care throughout every life stage, from kitten/puppy hood to senior years.

We offer customized wellness packages tailored for puppies and kittens, including age-specific vaccines, parasite prevention, and nutritional counseling to support healthy growth and development. These packages are designed to strengthen immunity and establish a foundation for lifelong health.

We focus on comprehensive care for senior pets, including adjusted vaccines, tailored medications, and regular screening for age-related conditions like arthritis or organ decline. Every exam includes detailed discussions about managing quality of life as pets mature.

We administer essential core vaccinations such as rabies, distemper, and parvovirus to protect your pet from serious, often fatal diseases. Our team will work with you to determine the best immunization schedule based on your pet's lifestyle and risk factors.

We diagnose and prevent heartworm disease through regular testing and a variety of preventative medications, both oral and topical, tailored to your pet’s needs. Heartworm prevention is critical in Louisiana, where mosquito-borne transmission is a significant risk.

Our clinic offers multiple flea and tick prevention options, including Simparica, Nexgard, Revolution, and Trifexis, to protect pets from infestations, allergic reactions, and tick-borne diseases like Lyme. We recommend monthly treatment year-round for optimal defense.

We implant microchips—a critical, permanent form of identification—that can save your pet’s life if they become lost. Each chip is registered with your contact information, allowing quick identification should your pet end up in an animal shelter or vet clinic.

Our veterinarians provide personalized nutritional guidance, including weight management plans, to ensure your pet maintains a healthy diet based on breed, age, and activity level. Proper nutrition is fundamental to preventing obesity and chronic illnesses.

We test for and treat intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms using safe and effective deworming agents such as Interceptor chews. Prevention and treatment are essential to avoid serious health complications in pets and humans.

Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels quickly, delivering accurate diagnoses for conditions like infections, diabetes, or kidney/liver disease on the same day.

We test fecal samples to identify intestinal parasites, such as hookworms or giardia, and guide appropriate deworming or treatment. Regular fecal testing is a proactive way to ensure your pet’s gastrointestinal health remains parasite-free.

Using advanced digital radiography, we capture crystal-clear images to diagnose fractures, dental disease, heart/lung conditions, and other internal abnormalities. X-rays are routinely used pre- and post-surgery for optimal diagnostic accuracy.

We utilize ultrasound to evaluate organ function and diagnose conditions like heart disease, reproductive issues (including pregnancy monitoring), cysts, or abdominal masses in a non-invasive manner. Ultrasounds provide real-time imaging for precise assessments.

We offer dental radiography to detect hidden tooth decay, root infections, or bone loss invisible to the naked eye. Full-mouth X-rays ensure we identify early-stage dental issues and tailor targeted treatments like extractions or fillings.

We perform spay/neuter surgeries as routine procedures to reduce the risk of cancer, unwanted litters, and behavioral issues. Using state-of-the-art surgical techniques and pain management, we ensure a rapid, comfortable recovery with minimal complications.

Our surgical team specializes in safely removing ingested objects or foreign materials from a pet’s digestive tract or body cavities. Early diagnosis and intervention prevent serious complications like intestinal blockages or perforations.

We treat all types of wounds and lacerations, from abrasions and cuts to deep surgical incisions, using advanced suturing techniques and infection control protocols. Your pet will receive thorough follow-up care to ensure proper healing.

We provide immediate stabilization for emergencies, including IV fluids, pain relief, and oxygen therapy, to buy critical time until the underlying issue can be diagnosed and treated. Our clinic operates with round-the-clock readiness for urgent cases.

For pets requiring ongoing care post-surgery or due to illness, we offer 24-hour hospitalization with detailed monitoring and adjustments to medication/treatment plans. Your pet will receive attentive, compassionate care in our clinic until recovery.

We administer IV fluids to correct dehydration, manage kidney complications, and support pets through surgery or illness. Our team monitors hydration levels closely to ensure rapid stabilization and optimal recovery.

We utilize a variety of pain management protocols, including oral medications, injections, and post-operative care plans tailored to each patient. Your pet’s comfort remains a top priority throughout treatment and recovery.

Our services include sanitary shaves, nail trims, and anal gland expression as part of preventive medical grooming routines. Proper grooming supports skin/coat health and provides opportunities to detect early signs of underlying conditions.

We carefully trim and dremel nails to maintain proper foot health and prevent discomfort or injury. Overgrown nails can lead to joint pain or digit deformities, so regular maintenance is key to a healthy, pain-free gait.

We provide anal gland expression to relieve painful impactions common in dogs, ensuring proper digestive function and preventing scooting or inflammation. This service is often paired with medical grooming visits.
