Duxbury Animal Hospital

We offer thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages, stages, and breeds. Our exams include assessments of the musculoskeletal system, organ function, ears, eyes, teeth, and behavior, ensuring early detection of any potential health concerns and proactive care.

We provide Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages tailored for young pets, including core vaccinations, parasite prevention (flea, tick, intestinal), and deworming. We also provide educational resources for home care and nutrition to ensure your new companion starts life with strong health foundations.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care programs focus on proactive management of age-related conditions with regular exams, bloodwork (CBC & chemistry panels), joint health assessments, and tailored nutrition plans. Early detection is key to supporting an extended and comfortable life for aging pets.

We provide Core Vaccinations to protect your pets from serious diseases such as rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. These vaccines are essential for all dogs and cats, aligning with best practices for lifelong immunity.

We perform Heartworm Testing and recommend year-round preventative care, even for indoor pets. Heartworm disease is preventable with monthly medication, and we tailor recommendations based on individual risk factors.

We advise on Flea & Tick Prevention with safe, vet-approved treatments and environmental pest control to protect your pets from parasites known to transmit diseases like Lyme and Ehrlichia.

We offer Microchipping & Registration to ensure pets can be identified and returned if lost. This includes scanning older microchips or implantation of new, pet-specific chips (e.g., HomeAgain or AKC microchips), along with registration in local databases.

Our team provides Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management to address dietary needs, obesity concerns, or specific medical conditions like diabetes or chronic kidney disease. We review food options, portion sizes, and lifestyle adjustments.

We offer Parasite Deworming for intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, or tapeworms, which are common in pets. Treatment protocols are recommended during exams to protect overall health and prevent zoonotic transmission.

Through Behavioral Counseling, we help address issues like aggression, separation anxiety, or house-soiling. We work with owners to identify root causes and tailor solutions, such as training techniques or environmental changes, to improve both pet and owner quality of life.

We perform comprehensive In-House Bloodwork, including CBC (Complete Blood Count) and Chemistry Panels, to monitor organ function, detect infections, cancer, and chronic diseases like diabetes, and tailor care plans accordingly.

Routine Urinalysis is part of our preventive care exams, allowing us to evaluate kidney function, urinary tract infections, and systemic diseases like diabetes. This helps diagnose conditions early and adjust treatment plans promptly.

We utilize Digital X-Rays for diagnostics, including fractures, joint issues, tumors, or foreign bodies. Advanced imaging complements physical exams, delivering rapid results and improved accuracy for treatment planning.

Our hospital offers Ultrasound Imaging for targeted assessments of abdominal organs, heart, and reproductive systems, offering detailed imaging without invasive methods. Conditions like tumors, bladder stones, and pregnancy are monitored effectively.

We provide Allergy Testing to identify environmental, food, or contact allergies in pets. Tests include intradermal or serum panels, followed by diet trials or allergy shots tailored to individual sensitivities.

As part of our comprehensive eye exams, we perform Eye Pressure Testing for early detection of glaucoma or other ocular diseases. Treatment options may include medication eye drops, or specialized interventions to preserve sight.

We offer Blood Pressure Monitoring to identify hypertensive pets, particularly cats with renal disease or dogs with heart conditions. Long-term management includes diet adjustments and specific antihypertensive medication.

Our diagnostic tools include EKG (Electrocardiogram), enabling evaluation of heart rhythm, size, and electrical activity for conditions like congestive heart failure or valvular disease. Early diagnosis supports timely therapeutic intervention.

We use Dental X-Rays during cleanings to identify hidden issues like root fractures, abscesses, or tooth resorption. Addressing these problems is critical for preventing pain, infection, and systemic health problems.

When necessary, we perform Tooth Extractions for severely diseased or broken teeth. Post-op care ensures a smooth recovery, and we often provide pain management support and dietary recommendations to aid healing.

Our Periodontal Disease Treatment includes scaling, root planing, and antibiotic therapy to address moderate to severe gum disease. Early intervention stops progression and reduces oral bacteria spreading to kidneys or heart.

We provide Spay & Neuter Surgery to prevent unwanted litters, reducing risks of mammary and testicular cancers, and curbing behavioral issues like spraying or roaming in pets.

We prioritize Emergency Stabilization to address trauma, poisoning, or acute conditions requiring rapid response. Intravenous fluids, oxygen, and medications stabilize pets before advanced diagnostics or procedures.

We provide comprehensive Pain Management using medications (e.g., NSAIDs, injections) and non-pharmacological options like laser therapy and physiotherapy to improve comfort during recovery, chronic conditions like arthritis, or after surgery.

We handle Poison & Toxin Treatment through decontamination (e.g., activated charcoal) and supportive care (IV fluids, vitamins) in cases involving medication, plants, or human foods like chocolate or grapes.

Our Medical Grooming services encompass Sanitary Shave, Anal Gland Expression, and Medicated Baths for pets with skin conditions or mobility issues requiring careful grooming to maintain hygiene and comfort.

We offer Nail Trimming & Dremeling to prevent overgrowth, which can cause joint pain, difficulty walking, or infections. Routine maintenance is especially critical for senior pets or those with underlying health issues.

Our team offers Acupuncture, a safe and holistic therapy to alleviate pain, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. Certified specialists like Dr. Dinan use traditional techniques to aid in conditions such as arthritis, seizures, or digestive disorders.

We utilize Cold Laser Therapy to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and manage pain post-surgery or for chronic conditions like back issues or skin wounds, providing a drug-free option for improved quality of life.

Through Chiropractic Adjustments, we focus on spinal health, addressing misalignments that could cause pain or neurological issues. This therapy works synergistically with other treatments like acupuncture to support overall mobility.

Our Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation programs include supervised exercises, hydrotherapy, and under-water treadmills to rebuild strength and alleviate pain after injury or surgery, benefiting pets from puppies to geriatrics.

We operate an Underwater Treadmill, offering zero-impact exercise for pets needing rehabilitation for orthopedic injuries, weight management, or joint diseases, while minimizing stress on bones and joints.

Through Massage Therapy, we focus on improving circulation and reducing joint stiffness for pets in rehabilitation or with chronic pain, enhancing their mobility and speeding recovery time with hands-on gentle techniques.

We provide Telemedicine Consultations for follow-up care, refills of non-narcotic medications, or evaluations of minor non-emergent health concerns. This allows greater convenience for clients while maintaining continuity of care.
