Ayer Animal Medical Center

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages, assessing their overall health from nose-to-tail. Our exams include evaluations of weight, mobility, organ function (heart, lungs, abdomen), skin/coat condition, dental health, and more. We also update microchips as needed during these visits to ensure your pet’s safety.

We offer tailored Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to set your new pet up for a lifetime of health. These packages include core vaccinations, parasite prevention (flea/tick/heartworm), deworming, spay/neuter counseling, and nutritional guidance to support their growth and development.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care programs focus on early detection of age-related conditions through bi-annual exams, bloodwork (CBC/chemistry panels), urinalysis, and tailored preventive care. We prioritize pain management, mobility assessments, and quality-of-life discussions to ensure your senior pet’s comfort and longevity.

We administer essential Core Vaccinations, including rabies, distemper, parvovirus (for dogs), and FVRCP (respiratory vaccines for cats). These are critical for protecting your pet from life-threatening diseases and may be required for boarding, daycare, or travel.

We provide annual Heartworm Testing and year-round prevention programs to safeguard your pet against this deadly parasite. Heartworm disease can lead to severe heart/lung damage, but our proactive approach ensures early detection and protection.

Our clinic offers Flea & Tick Prevention solutions tailored to your pet’s needs, including oral medications, topical treatments, and collars. We emphasize year-round prevention in Massachusetts to protect against ticks carrying Lyme disease and other parasites.

We implant Microchips during wellness exams or as a standalone service, registering your pet’s information in national databases. This is a permanent form of identification that increases the chances of reuniting you with your pet if they ever get lost.

Our veterinarians provide personalized Nutritional Counseling and Weight Management plans to address obesity, food allergies, or dietary needs. We offer guidance on portion control, diet transitions, and weight-loss programs to improve your pet’s overall health.

We perform Parasite Deworming treatments for intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. Fecal testing is often recommended to identify infections, especially in puppies, kittens, or pets with digestive issues.

Our clinic offers In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to monitor organ function, detect diseases early, and guide treatment plans. This is particularly valuable for senior pets or those with chronic conditions.

We conduct Urinalysis as part of wellness exams or diagnostic workups to screen for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and crystals. Early detection helps prevent discomfort and more serious health issues in your pet.

We provide Fecal Testing to check for intestinal parasites (e.g., giardia, coccidia) or signs of digestive disorders. This is often recommended during annual exams or if your pet shows symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, or weight loss.

Our clinic uses Digital X-Rays to diagnose fractures, arthritis, heart/lung conditions, and abdominal issues. X-rays are essential for post-surgical checks, injury assessments, and monitoring chronic diseases like dental disease or cancer.

As part of our dental cleanings, we take Dental X-Rays to evaluate the health of teeth roots, jawbone, and surrounding structures. This helps detect hidden decay, abscesses, or periodontal disease that may not be visible during a visual exam.

We offer Tooth Extractions for severely diseased, fractured, or impacted teeth under general anesthesia. This is often recommended to relieve pain and prevent infections from spreading to other parts of the body.

Our clinic performs Spay & Neuter Surgeries to prevent unwanted litters, reduce cancer risks (e.g., mammary tumors in females), and address behavioral issues like roaming or marking. We follow strict surgical protocols for safety and recovery.

We provide Emergency Stabilization for critical conditions like poisoning, trauma, or severe illness. Our team works quickly to assess, treat, and stabilize pets before transferring them to a 24-hour emergency facility if needed.

For pets requiring overnight care, we offer Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring with IV fluids, pain management, and continuous observation. This is essential for post-surgical recovery, chronic illness management, or acute conditions.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy to dehydrated pets, those undergoing surgery, or those with kidney disease/diabetes. Fluids help restore hydration, support organ function, and aid in recovery from illness or injury.

Our clinic provides Pain Management through medications, injections, or post-surgical care to ensure your pet’s comfort during procedures and recovery. We tailor pain relief plans to each patient’s needs.

If your pet ingests toxic substances (e.g., chocolate, lilies, rodent poison), we offer Poison & Toxin Treatment, including induced vomiting, IV fluids, and supportive care to minimize damage and promote recovery.

We provide Medical Grooming services for pets with skin conditions, mobility issues, or post-surgical needs. This includes sanitary shaves, medicated baths, and gentle handling to maintain hygiene without causing stress.

For pets requiring Sanitary Shaves, such as those with urinary incontinence or skin infections, we trim fur around sensitive areas to improve cleanliness and comfort. This is often part of our medical grooming services.

We offer Nail Trimming & Dremeling as part of routine care or wellness packages. Overgrown nails can cause pain and mobility issues, so we ensure safe, precise trims to keep your pet comfortable.

Our veterinarians perform Anal Gland Expression for pets experiencing discomfort or scooting due to impacted anal glands. This quick procedure relieves pressure and prevents infections.

We offer Standard Pet Boarding in comfortable, climate-controlled kennels with daily exercise, fresh food/water, and medical supervision. Our facilities are designed to keep your pet safe and happy while you’re away.

Our Doggie Daycare provides supervised playtime, socialization, and enrichment activities for dogs of all ages. This is ideal for working owners or pets needing mental/physical stimulation during the day.

For senior or chronically ill pets, we conduct Quality of Life Assessments to evaluate pain levels, mobility, appetite, and overall comfort. This helps guide decisions about treatment plans or end-of-life care.

For minor concerns or follow-ups, we provide Telemedicine Consultations via our app or website. This allows you to discuss your pet’s health with a veterinarian remotely for convenience and peace of mind.
