Pioneer Valley Veterinary Hospital, Inc

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for dogs, cats, and exotic pets to assess overall health. Our exams include evaluations of eyes, ears, coat, heart, and other critical areas to detect early signs of illness or disease.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages starting at eight weeks old. These packages include vaccinations, deworming, and parasite prevention to ensure a healthy start for your new pet.

We recommend Senior Pet Wellness Care for pets aged seven or older (or five years old for large breeds). These visits include comprehensive exams, bloodwork, and diagnostic testing like X-rays or urinalysis to monitor organ function and detect age-related conditions early.

We provide Core Vaccinations for dogs (Distemper, Canine Infectious Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus, Coronavirus) and cats (Panleukopenia, Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus). Rabies vaccinations are required by Massachusetts state law.

We provide annual Heartworm Testing for dogs, which also screens for tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease, Erlichia, and Anaplasmosis. Heartworm prevention is strongly recommended year-round to avoid this potentially fatal condition.

We offer guidance on Flea & Tick Prevention programs tailored to your pet’s lifestyle, helping protect against parasites that can cause discomfort and transmit diseases like Lyme disease.

We provide Microchipping & Registration, a permanent form of identification for pets. The microchip is injected under the skin during routine visits (often at spay/neuter) and can aid in reuniting lost pets with their owners.

We offer Nutritional Counseling for all life stages, including weight management plans for overweight pets. Our team provides personalized diet recommendations using prescription diets (Royal Canin, Hill’s, Purina) to address allergies or medical conditions.

We perform Parasite Deworming for puppies and kittens during their first visits. Fecal testing is conducted annually to detect intestinal parasites, some of which are zoonotic (transmissible to humans).

We conduct In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC), chemistry panels, thyroid testing, cortisol monitoring, and preanesthetic bloodwork. These tests provide quick results for diagnosing illnesses or monitoring chronic conditions.

We offer Urinalysis as part of our diagnostic services to evaluate kidney function, detect urinary tract infections, and screen for metabolic disorders in pets.

We provide Fecal Testing to identify intestinal parasites in dogs and cats. This service is required for boarding clients and recommended annually for all pets to ensure a parasite-free environment.

We utilize Digital X-Rays for advanced imaging, including orthopedic evaluations (OFA hip/elbow dysplasia screening), abdominal scans, and dental radiographs. Digital technology provides high-resolution images for accurate diagnoses.

We offer Ultrasound Imaging to visualize internal organs non-invasively. This diagnostic tool helps detect conditions like pregnancy, bladder stones, tumors (e.g., splenic masses), and other abnormalities without surgery.

We offer Dental X-Rays to assess hidden dental issues like root abscesses or subgingival bone loss. These radiographs guide necessary extractions and ensure comprehensive oral evaluations during cleanings.

We perform Tooth Extractions when severe periodontal disease, fractures, or other dental issues require removal. Our digital X-rays help identify problematic teeth that may not be visible during a standard exam.

We provide routine Spay & Neuter Surgery for dogs and cats, typically recommended before six months of age. Preanesthetic bloodwork is required for pets over five years old to ensure safe surgical outcomes.

We provide Hospitalization for noncritical patients recovering from surgery or illness. While we do not offer 24-hour monitoring, our staff remains available until 11 PM daily to evaluate and treat patients as needed.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy as part of our hospitalization services for pets requiring hydration support, whether due to surgery, illness, or dehydration.

We offer Pain Management options for mildly to moderately uncomfortable procedures, including dental and soft tissue surgeries. Our goal is to ensure a seamless recovery with multi-modal therapy to enhance your pet’s comfort.

We provide Medical Grooming services, including sanitary shaves and nail trimming/dremeling for pets with special needs or medical conditions requiring careful handling.

As part of our Medical Grooming, we offer Sanitary Shave services to maintain hygiene in areas prone to matting, infections, or post-surgical care.

We perform Nail Trimming & Dremeling as part of our grooming and medical services to prevent overgrowth, which can cause discomfort or mobility issues in pets.

We support Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation for pets recovering from surgery or injury, though we primarily refer to specialists for advanced cases. Our team provides guidance on at-home exercises and mobility aids.

We provide Standard Pet Boarding in a clean, secure facility with daily walks for dogs and spacious runs/cages for cats. Boarding includes medical monitoring to ensure your pet’s well-being while you’re away.

We operate Doggie Daycare to relieve boredom, improve socialization, and reduce separation anxiety in dogs. Our supervised environment offers exercise and enrichment for a happier, healthier pet.

We provide Domestic Travel Certificates for pets moving between states, including health checks and vaccinations to meet interstate regulations. Requirements vary by state, so we guide clients through the process.
