Middlesex Veterinary Center

We perform thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams to monitor your pet’s health, detect early signs of disease, and address concerns during routine check-ups. These exams ensure preventive care and proactive health management tailored to your pet’s individual needs.

Our Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages include vaccinations, deworming, parasite prevention, and nutrition counseling to provide a strong foundation for your pet’s lifelong health. We recommend vaccinations at 7-8 weeks with booster schedules until 16 weeks, ensuring protection against common diseases.

We offer specialized Senior Pet Wellness Care for pets aged 7+ years (dogs) or 10+ years (cats), with adjusted schedules for exams, diagnostics (bloodwork, urinalysis), and tailored pain management. Our goal is to enhance comfort, mobility, and quality of life through regular monitoring.

We provide essential Core Vaccinations, including rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and adenovirus for dogs, and rabies, feline herpesvirus, calicivirus, and panleukopenia for cats. These vaccinations are critical for preventing deadly diseases and are typically administered during wellness visits.

We offer annual Heartworm Testing & Prevention for dogs and cats using preventive medications like HeartGard Plus and NexGard Plus. Year-round protection is recommended, as mosquitoes carrying heartworm larvae are present even in cooler weather.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention programs include top-tier products like NexGard, Bravecto chews, Seresto collars, and Revolution Plus for cats. We provide rebates, tailored product recommendations based on risk factors, and emphasize year-round prevention due to tick activity in mild temperatures.

We provide Microchipping & Registration using the Petlink microchip, which lasts a lifetime. Chips are implanted during spay/neuter procedures (under anesthesia) or separately and registered in our Petlink system. We recommend microchips as permanent identification to ensure reunification if your pet goes missing.

Tailored Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management plans align with your pet’s life stage (puppy, adult, senior) and health conditions. We recommend high-quality diets, portion control, supplements, and carry prescription diets for pets with medical needs.

Addressing issues like separation anxiety, aggression, or destructiveness, our Behavioral Counseling provides pet owners with actionable guidance to foster positive behavior changes. We collaborate with in-home trainers (e.g., K9 Kompanion) and recommend resources like training facilities in Littleton.

We offer In-House Bloodwork for comprehensive CBC (complete blood count) and chemistry panel testing to diagnose conditions like organ dysfunction, infections, or metabolic disorders. Prompt interpretation and quick results allow for timely treatment decisions.

Urinalysis is included in our diagnostic services, allowing us to detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney disease, diabetes, or crystals in your pet’s urine. We recommend annual urinalysis for seniors and during wellness exams to monitor early signs of health decline.

We conduct Fecal Testing to identify intestinal parasites (such as worms), protozoa, or occult bleeding. Regular fecal exams are essential for maintaining your pet’s digestive health, especially for puppies, kittens, and outdoor pets at higher risk of parasite exposure.

Our clinic uses Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose fractures, foreign bodies, joint abnormalities, dental issues, or internal pathologies like tumors. Immediate on-site imaging ensures faster and more accurate assessments for trauma or chronic conditions.

With Ultrasound Imaging, we perform soft tissue evaluations to identify abnormalities in organs like the heart, liver, or reproductive tract. Specialists (internal medicine/cardiology) visit our office to conduct ultrasounds and guide complex diagnoses, including pregnancies or masses.

Dental X-rays are taken during cleanings to inspect tooth roots, bones, and hidden issues like periodontal disease or resorption. Our radiographs guide tooth extractions or advanced treatments, ensuring comprehensive oral health assessments.

We routinely perform Spay & Neuter Surgery for both male and female pets, starting from age 6-12 months. These procedures reduce cancer risks, prevent unwanted litters, and can alter aggressive or roaming behaviors, benefiting your pet’s long-term health.

In cases of obstruction or ingestion, we perform Foreign Body Removal surgeries, such as enterotomies or gastrotomies, to safely retrieve foreign objects (e.g., toys, bones) before they cause severe intestinal damage. Imaging (X-rays/ultrasounds) localizes the object pre-surgery.

We diagnose and treat Wound & Laceration Repairs to prevent infections and promote healing in injuries from accidents, bites, or surgeries. Proper assessment, cleaning, and suturing (or advanced therapy) are key components of our urgent and post-surgical care.

During emergencies (*e.g.*, poisoning, trauma), we prioritize Emergency Stabilization to assess vital signs, administer IV fluids, control pain, or manage toxins. Rapid intervention ensures pets receive urgent care before referral to a 24/7 specialist facility if necessary.

We offer tailored Pain Management strategies for short-term (e.g., post-surgery) or chronic conditions like arthritis or dental disease. Options include medications, chiropractic adjustments, laser therapy, or physical rehabilitation based on the pet’s condition and veterinary recommendations.

If your pet ingests human medication, plants, chocolate, onions, lilies, or other toxins, we provide Poison & Toxin Treatment, including decontamination (e.g., inducing vomiting, activated charcoal), IV fluids, and symptom management. We collaborate with ASPCA APCC for critical protocol support.

Our Medical Grooming services include sanitary shaves, medicated baths for skin conditions, anal gland expressions, and nail trims with a drill. These procedures address specific health needs, such as ear plucking for recurrent infections or grooming under anesthesia for sensitive pets.

We provide routine Sanitary Shave procedures to maintain hygiene around pets' anal or reproductive regions, reducing risks of infections or discomfort. Anesthesia is used when necessary to ensure safety during the process, especially for animals with thick fur or sensitivity.

Nail Trimming & Dremeling is offered either during wellness visits or as a standalone service to prevent painful overgrowth, walking issues, or breakages. We offer guidance on at-home maintenance and use specialized tools to minimize stress for pets.

We perform Anal Gland Expression for pets experiencing discomfort, scooting, or foul-smelling stools—a sign of impacted glands. This non-invasive procedure prevents infections and abscesses and can be done after a full exam to address underlying conditions.

Our Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation services help pets recover from surgery, injuries, or mobility issues through exercises, underwater treadmills (hydrotherapy), or massage. Customized programs aim to regain strength, reduce pain, and improve overall quality of life.

During senior care or end-of-life discussions, we assess Quality of Life using standard tools to evaluate comfort, physical capacity, and mood. This assessment guides decisions that align with your pet’s well-being and your family’s values.
