VCA Knapp's Corner Animal Hospital

We provide thorough physical examinations to assess your pet’s overall health. Our vet examines your pet from nose to tail, including weight, vital signs, and detailed assessments like joints, teeth, and organs. A complete exam is a vital first step in wellness care.

We offer comprehensive Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to cover crucial early care. This includes core vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, spay/neuter consultations, and developmental advice to set your pet up for a healthy life.

We prioritize tailored care for senior pets through specialized wellness assessments. Senior pets should visit us twice a year for early detection of age-related issues like arthritis, kidney disease, or diabetes. Customized vaccination, nutrition, and diagnostic plans are included.

We provide core vaccines for all puppies and kittens, including protection against rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. These vaccines are essential for preventing deadly infectious diseases. Adult booster vaccinations are recommended based on risk factors and local regulations.

We recommend annual heartworm testing and year-round preventatives for dogs, as well as heartworm prevention for cats exposed to infected mosquitos. Screening and prevention are critical to protecting against this serious and often fatal disease.

We provide guidance and products for flea and tick prevention tailored to your pet’s needs. Preventatives are essential to avoid allergic reactions, disease transmission like Lyme and Ehrlichia, and overall comfort.

We offer a quick, painless microchipping process to ensure your pet can be identified if they go missing. Each chip is registered with your contact information, and hospitals nationwide can scan it to reunite you with your pet.

We provide personalized nutritional planning to address health issues such as obesity, diabetes, or allergies. Our weight management programs include diet adjustments, calorie tracking, and exercise recommendations for optimal health.

We test for and deworm pets for common intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and Giardia. Annual fecal screenings are recommended to maintain your pet’s gastrointestinal health. Deworming products are available based on screening results.

We offer behavioral assessments to address issues like aggression, phobias, anxiety, or compulsive behaviors. Our team identifies stress triggers and devises treatment plans, which may include environmental modifications or referral to specialists if needed.

We conduct comprehensive bloodwork in-house, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to detect hidden health issues like organ dysfunction or internal diseases in their earliest stages.

We analyze urine samples to screen for kidney disease, urinary tract infections, diabetes, and other conditions like bladder stones or hormonal imbalances. Urinary health is closely monitored during wellness and diagnostic exams.

We conduct fecal tests at least once a year to detect intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, hookworms, Giardia, coccidia). These simple tests are vital for pets showing signs of GI upset or during routine wellness checks.

We utilize modern digital radiography to capture detailed X-ray images of your pet’s bones, organs, and chest. Digital X-rays enable quicker results, reduced radiation exposure, and the ability to enhance images for better diagnosis.

We offer non-invasive ultrasound imaging to examine abdominal, reproductive, cardiac, and ocular systems. Ultrasound is a safe, well-tolerated procedure that provides real-time visuals of internal organs without radiation.

We use a tonopen to measure intraocular (eye) pressure, which is essential for early detection of glaucoma. This is crucial in routine exams, for pets with trauma, and during glaucoma management therapy.

We perform routine and medically recommended spay/neuter surgeries to provide long-term health benefits for your pet. These procedures reduce the risk of certain cancers, unplanned litters, and behavioral issues.

We provide immediate stabilization for critical conditions including poisoning, trauma, or sudden illness. Emergency care may involve IV fluids, pain management, and advanced diagnostics to determine the root cause.
