Schmitt's Animal Hospital

We provide annual wellness exams for adult pets and biannual exams for senior pets (7+ years for dogs, 9+ years for cats) to monitor their overall health. During these exams, we assess weight, vital signs, and discuss lifestyle changes that may affect care. These visits help establish a strong doctor-patient relationship, ensuring early detection of health issues.

Our senior care program includes tailored wellness exams for dogs aged 7+ and cats aged 9+, with biannual check-ups to monitor rapid health changes. We perform in-house bloodwork, urinalysis, and blood pressure checks. If mobility issues arise, we may conduct X-rays during your appointment, and we provide pain management and joint supplements for improved comfort.

We offer ULTRA vaccines, which are more refined with fewer impurities, reducing side effects while providing effective protection with less volume. Core vaccines help safeguard pets against rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. We include these as part of our preventative wellness programs to keep pets protected.

We prioritize heartworm testing and prevention through annual screenings to protect your pet from this potentially fatal disease. Our preventive protocols also include educating pet owners on reducing mosquito exposure and maintaining consistent medication.

Senior and at-risk pets benefit from our in-house CBC (Complete Blood Count) and chemistry panels, performed during wellness or diagnostic exams. These tests help detect underlying conditions early, ensuring proactive healthcare.

As part of our senior pet care and annual wellness visits, we perform urinalysis to evaluate kidney function and urinary tract health. Our licensed veterinary technicians conduct these tests in-house for immediate results.

For pets showing mobility issues, joint pain, or internal injuries, we offer digital radiography to diagnose conditions like arthritis, fractures, or tumors. X-rays are available during wellness or surgical consultations.

We perform routine spay/neuter surgeries in our fully equipped surgical suite, with drop-off and pick-up appointments available. All patients are monitored with ECG, blood pressure, capnography, and pulse oximetry to ensure safety under anesthesia.

We safely perform foreign body removal via surgery when pets ingest dangerous objects. Our team uses radiography and surgical expertise to quickly retrieve and treat such cases with minimal risk.

Emergency and elective C-sections are performed in our surgical suite, ensuring mother and puppies/kittens receive immediate, life-saving care. We closely monitor anesthesia and recovery to protect both parties.

While we prioritize emergency cases for clients of record during regular hours, we stabilize critical patients and consult with specialists if needed. After-hours, we provide phone consultations until 10:00 PM, offering guidance until a specialist can be reached.

For pets requiring overnight recovery or monitoring, we offer 24-hour hospitalization in our clinic. Patients are supervised by technicians and doctors until they stabilize, with frequent assessments and interventions as needed.

We provide oxygen therapy for pets experiencing respiratory distress or during post-operative recovery. Our facility includes oxygen cages and nasal tubes to ensure pets receive necessary support.

As part of our emergency and hospitalization services, we administer IV fluid therapy to address dehydration, critical illnesses, or surgical recovery. Our team ensures pets receive appropriate hydration and stabilization.

For pets with chronic pain or post-surgery discomfort, we offer a range of pain management options, including oral and injectable medications. Senior pets with joint issues also receive supplements to improve mobility.

In cases of poisoning or toxin exposure, we provide immediate treatment, including IV fluids, induced vomiting (when safe), and medication to counteract toxic effects. We also educate owners on common household threats to pets.

Our clinic uses cold laser therapy to speed healing for wounds, surgical sites, and joint issues. This non-invasive therapy reduces inflammation and pain, often combined with other treatments for optimal results.
