Dodge City Veterinary Hospital, A Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner

We provide comprehensive nose-to-tail physical exams, evaluating your pet’s hair, skin, eyes, ears, nose, face, mouth, teeth, breathing, stimuli response, and overall health. Our exams include microchip updates and recommendations for vaccines and diagnostics. We focus on early detection of potential health issues and routine preventative care to support your pet’s optimal well-being.

Although not explicitly labeled as a dedicated package for puppies/kitten here, we offer annual wellness exams and customized recommendations for vaccinations and diagnostics aligned with developmental stages (e.g., FVRCP for kittens and DHPP for puppies). Let us create a wellness plan tailored to your young pet’s specific needs.

We recommend bi-annual exams and diagnostics (including bloodwork, urinalysis, and other tests) for senior pets (typically aged 7+). This proactive approach allows us to monitor organ function, detect early-stage diseases, and adjust preventive care tailored to your aging pet’s evolving needs.

Our team administers core vaccines as recommended for dogs (rabies, distemper, parvovirus) and cats (rabies, FVRCP/respiratory) during wellness exams. Stay updated—our veterinarians will discuss your pet’s individual risk-based vaccination plan based on lifestyle and local guidelines, including annual Rabies vaccinations required by law.

We provide annual heartworm testing and preventive treatments to safeguard your pet against this serious, potentially fatal disease spread by mosquitoes. Heartworm prevention is a key component of our wellness plans, ensuring your pet’s heart and lungs remain healthy.

Our clinic offers comprehensive flea and tick prevention programs. We monitor your pet for signs of infestations (e.g., itching, skin infections) and collaborate with you to select the most effective preventative treatment, reducing risks of diseases like Lyme and Ehrlichiosis.

We update or implant microchips during wellness exams to ensure your pet’s permanent identification is current. Registration services are available for peace of mind, maximizing the chances of a safe return if your pet ever gets lost.

We evaluate your pet’s weight and dietary needs during every exam, helping you maintain a healthy weight and balance. Our nutritional assessments include diet reviews, ingredient discussions, and personalized feeding recommendations for optimal health.

We recommend and administer fecal testing and deworming treatments to address intestinal parasites. Bring a fresh stool sample during your wellness exam—our team will test it and recommend deworming based on findings to ensure your pet remains healthy.

We perform in-house bloodwork for comprehensive diagnostics, including CBCs and chemistry panels. These tests screen for organ function, blood counts, and underlying conditions in middle-aged or senior pets, enabling early detection of issues like diabetes, kidney disease, or immune disorders.

Urinalysis is a critical part of our diagnostic services. We offer in-house urine testing to detect kidney disease, infections, and other abnormalities. These tests provide insights into your pet’s urinary tract health, especially for senior or high-risk pets.

We test fecal samples to identify intestinal parasites, ensuring your pet’s digestive health is secured. Fecal testing is often included during wellness exams and is essential for puppies, kittens, or pets with unexplained weight loss or diarrhea. Bring a stool sample during your visit!

At our clinic, digital X-rays help diagnose conditions like fractures, chronic pain, respiratory issues, or gastrointestinal obstructions. Our technicians capture images quickly and accurately, while veterinarians interpret the results to create targeted treatment plans.

Advanced imaging with ultrasound is provided in collaboration with our specialty care partners to diagnose internal conditions like cardiac diseases, organ abnormalities, or pregnancies. While in-house ultrasounds may depend on referral, we leverage these tools to deliver precise medical insights.

Dental radiographs are performed during cleanings to uncover hidden issues like fractured teeth, root disease, or bone resorption. Our digital X-rays provide clear images, allowing us to detect problems not visible during physical exams and tailor treatment effectively.

We provide extractions for diseased or damaged teeth to alleviate pain and prevent systemic infection. These procedures are performed while your pet is under safe anesthesia during comprehensive dental cleanings or standalone surgeries.

Our team performs routine spay and neuter surgeries, helping pets live longer, healthier lives by reducing reproductive risks. We prioritize preventive surgeries unless breeding is part of your pet’s future plans, and recommendations may be customized based on your pet’s unique needs.

We stabilize pets experiencing acute emergencies such as poisoning, trauma, or sudden illness. Our team prioritizes immediate care to address life-threatening conditions, including IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and medical monitoring until the patient stabilizes for further treatment.

If your pet requires continuous care due to illness or post-surgery, we offer round-the-clock monitoring to track progress and intervene promptly. Our hospital staff is trained to provide a safe and comfortable environment for recovery or treatment.

We administer oxygen therapy in emergency and critical care settings when your pet needs supplemental oxygen for respiratory distress, trauma, or severe illnesses. Our protocols ensure careful oversight and the highest level of medical support during treatment.

IV fluids are provided to dehydrated pets or those recovering from surgery to restore hydration and electrolyte balance. This therapy is essential for pets unable to maintain fluids through oral intake due to illness or other medical conditions.

We offer a range of pain management solutions tailored to your pet’s condition, from post-surgical recovery to chronic pain relief. Our team prescribes individualized pain control plans to enhance your pet’s comfort and quality of life, including medications, therapies, and monitoring.

We manage poison or toxin exposure cases requiring immediate medical intervention. Our team provides treatments such as IV fluids, activated charcoal administration, and supportive care to neutralize toxins and stabilize systemic effects.

We offer specialized grooming for pets with health needs, including sanitary shaves, nail trims, and medicated baths for skin conditions or allergies. Our trained staff ensures your pet feels comfortable while receiving the grooming care necessary to maintain their health.

We perform sanitary shaves to remove uncomfortable or excessive hair in vulnerable areas, improving hygiene and reducing disease risks. This service is particularly beneficial for pets with thick coats or those prone to hygiene issues.

We securely trim or dremel your pet’s nails during regular check-ups to prevent overgrowth, tears, or discomfort. Nail trims are also offered through our Thrive Plus membership for added convenience and savings.

We provide anal gland expression to address scooting behavior or discomfort caused by impacted anal glands. This service is available via appointment and is aimed at relieving pain and maintaining your pet’s hygienic well-being.

We assess your pet’s quality of life through compassionate discussions during end-of-life planning. Our veterinarians evaluate comfort, mobility, and vitality, guiding you to decisions that prioritize your pet’s happiness and dignity.
