Southshore Animal Hospital at Frenchman's Creek

We recommend annual heartworm testing and preventive programs following American Heartworm Society guidelines. Our quick, economical tests detect heartworms early, and we provide year-round preventative medications in topical or treat forms for optimal protection.

We offer microchipping as a permanent identification solution to increase the chances of reuniting with your pet if lost. The procedure is quick, safe, and similar to a vaccination. We register each microchip in a national database linked to your contact information for easy recovery.

We provide nutritional counseling to address your pet’s unique needs based on age, health, and lifestyle. Our veterinarians help manage weight, select appropriate diets for medical conditions, and guide feeding practices for all life stages—from puppies to senior pets.

We perform in-house bloodwork, including complete blood counts (CBCs) and chemistry panels, to assess kidney/liver function, thyroid health, electrolytes, and more. Same-day results allow us to diagnose conditions quickly and start treatment promptly.

As part of our in-clinic diagnostics, we conduct urinalysis to detect urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. This non-invasive test provides critical insights for early intervention.

We offer fecal testing to screen for intestinal parasites (e.g., worms) that can cause discomfort or health issues in pets. Early detection allows us to prescribe appropriate deworming treatments and prevent complications.

We utilize digital radiography to diagnose conditions like fractures, foreign objects, tumors, bladder stones, and more with low radiation exposure. Digital images are faster, clearer, and can be shared instantly with specialists for consultation if needed.

We offer ultrasound imaging to visualize abdominal organs, diagnose bladder/kidney stones, detect masses, assess organ function, and evaluate pregnancies. This non-invasive tool provides detailed images for accurate diagnosis by our experienced veterinarians.

We perform allergy testing (e.g., intradermal or serum tests) to identify specific allergens causing atopic dermatitis in pets. This guides immunotherapy (Immunotherapy) treatments tailored to reduce allergic reactions over time.

Our dental X-rays reveal hidden dental problems (e.g., root infections, fractures) beneath the gumline. This diagnostic tool ensures comprehensive oral health assessments during cleanings or extractions.

We perform tooth extractions for severely decayed, fractured, or diseased teeth under anesthesia with pain management protocols. Our veterinarians prioritize your pet’s comfort before, during, and after the procedure.

We offer spay & neuter surgery as routine procedures to prevent unwanted litters and reduce health risks (e.g., infections, cancers). Our state-of-the-art facilities ensure safety with pre-surgical bloodwork and post-operative pain management.

We specialize in pain management, recognizing that pets hide pain instinctively. We use pre-surgical medications, behavioral assessments, and tailored strategies (including drug-free alternatives like laser therapy) to improve recovery and quality of life for pets experiencing discomfort.

We provide chemotherapy services tailored to extend your pet’s life with cancer while maintaining quality of life. Our veterinarians evaluate each case individually and offer safe, effective treatments when surgery or chemotherapy is deemed beneficial for recovery.

We offer cold laser therapy as a drug-free treatment to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling while promoting healing. This innovative therapy accelerates tissue repair, improves circulation, and restores function for pets recovering from wounds, surgery, or chronic conditions like osteoarthritis.

We provide compassionate and reliable standard pet boarding services in a climate-controlled, clean facility where your pets are treated like family. Our staff offers individualized care with supervised outdoor time for dogs daily, monitors health closely, and ensures all boarders are up-to-date on vaccinations for safety.
