Krause Veterinary Clinic

We conduct thorough physical exams for pets of all ages, from nose to tail, to assess overall health and detect early signs of disease. During these exams, we check for abnormalities in the eyes, ears, skin, cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, and skeletal systems. We also use this time to update vaccinations, recommend preventives, and perform diagnostic tests like bloodwork, fecal exams, or urinalysis as needed.

We provide comprehensive wellness programs tailored for puppies and kittens to ensure they start their lives on the right path. Our programs include vaccinations, parasite testing and treatment, nutritional guidance, and behavioral and socialization advice to support healthy development. We prioritize early protection against preventable diseases like rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and panleukopenia, while also addressing zoonotic parasites like roundworms to keep your entire family safe.

We offer specialized senior pet wellness programs for dogs and cats aged 7+ (dogs) or 8+ (cats), tailored to their unique needs. These programs include more frequent exams, advanced diagnostics like bloodwork and imaging, and early detection of age-related conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. We also provide pain management, nutritional guidance, and quality-of-life assessments to ensure your senior pet remains comfortable and healthy.

We administer essential core vaccinations to protect your puppy or kitten against serious diseases such as rabies, distemper, and parvovirus (or panleukopenia for cats). These vaccines are critical during the early months of life when pets are most vulnerable to preventable illnesses. We ensure your pet receives the appropriate vaccinations based on their age, lifestyle, and risk factors.

We provide heartworm testing and prevention services to safeguard your dog or cat from this potentially fatal disease transmitted by mosquitoes. Our prevention programs include monthly medications that also protect against other parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and fleas. We emphasize the importance of prevention, as treatment for heartworm disease is costly, invasive, and can be life-threatening for dogs, while cats have no approved treatment options.

We offer safe and effective flea and tick prevention treatments to protect your pet from these parasites, which can cause irritation, allergies, and serious diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Even indoor pets are at risk, as ticks can hitch rides inside on clothing or shoes. We provide tailored prevention plans and recommend regular checks for ticks, especially after outdoor activities.

We provide microchipping services to permanently identify your pet in case they become lost. The microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under the skin at the back of the neck and can be scanned by veterinarians or shelters to retrieve your contact information. We recommend microchipping as a critical layer of identification alongside collars and ID tags, especially for pets prone to escaping or outdoor adventures.

We perform deworming treatments to eliminate intestinal parasites like roundworms, which are common in puppies and kittens and can cause gastrointestinal issues such as vomiting, diarrhea, and weight loss. Deworming is essential not only to treat your pet but also to prevent zoonotic transmission to humans, as some parasites can infect family members.

We offer in-house bloodwork, including complete blood counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to evaluate your pet’s organ function, detect underlying diseases, and monitor chronic conditions. These tests are a key part of our wellness and senior pet programs, helping us establish baseline values and track changes over time for early intervention.

We provide urinalysis to assess your pet’s urinary health, which can reveal signs of infections, kidney disease, diabetes, or crystals that may lead to bladder stones. This diagnostic tool is often included in our wellness exams and senior pet screenings to ensure early detection and treatment of urinary issues.

We perform fecal testing to screen for intestinal parasites, including roundworms, hookworms, and giardia, which can cause digestive upset or other health problems. This test is especially important for puppies, kittens, and pets with diarrhea or weight loss, as parasites are highly contagious and can affect the entire household.

We utilize digital radiography (X-rays) to diagnose and monitor a wide range of conditions, including bone fractures, dental disease, heart and lung issues, and gastrointestinal obstructions. Our state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology provides faster results with lower radiation exposure than traditional film X-rays, and we may use sedation or anesthesia to ensure your pet remains still during the procedure.

We offer ultrasound imaging to evaluate internal organs, detect pregnancies, identify masses or fluid accumulations, and guide procedures like fine-needle aspirates. Ultrasound is a non-invasive tool often used in conjunction with other diagnostics to assess heart, liver, kidney, and reproductive health, among other applications.

We provide tonometry, a safe and painless test to measure intraocular pressure and screen for glaucoma, a painful condition that can lead to permanent vision loss or blindness if untreated. We recommend regular eye pressure testing for breeds prone to glaucoma and for pets with eye injuries or symptoms like cloudy eyes, redness, or squinting. Early detection is critical to preserving your pet’s vision.

We offer electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG) services to monitor your pet’s heart rhythm and diagnose arrhythmias or other cardiac issues. EKGs are often performed during wellness exams or when symptoms like rapid breathing, coughing, or weakness suggest heart disease. Early detection allows us to implement treatments that can extend your pet’s life and improve their quality of health.

We offer dental X-rays to assess the health of your pet’s teeth roots, jawbone, and surrounding structures, which are not visible during a standard exam. Dental radiographs help us detect hidden issues like abscesses, fractures, or early-stage dental disease, guiding treatments such as extractions or root canals. Sedation or anesthesia is used to ensure your pet’s comfort during the procedure.

We perform spay and neuter surgeries to prevent unwanted litters and reduce the risk of reproductive cancers, infections, and behavioral issues in pets. Spaying involves removing the ovaries and uterus, while neutering removes the testicles. Both procedures are performed under general anesthesia with strict patient monitoring to ensure safety. We follow evidence-based protocols to minimize risks and promote a smooth recovery.

We provide emergency stabilization services to address acute conditions such as trauma, poisoning, or sudden illness. Our team is trained to assess and treat critical cases promptly, including intravenous fluid therapy, pain management, and oxygen support. We work closely with specialists if advanced care is required to ensure the best possible outcome for your pet.

We offer hospitalization services with 24-hour monitoring for pets requiring intensive care, whether due to surgery, chronic illness, or emergency treatment. Our team continuously assesses vital signs, administers medications, and provides supportive care to ensure your pet’s comfort and recovery. We keep you updated on your pet’s progress throughout their stay.

We provide intravenous (IV) fluid therapy to treat dehydration, shock, kidney disease, or postoperative recovery. IV fluids help maintain hydration, electrolyte balance, and organ function, especially in critical or elderly pets. Our team administers fluids under close supervision to ensure your pet receives the appropriate treatment for their condition.

We offer comprehensive pain management services to improve your pet’s comfort during and after procedures, as well as for chronic conditions like arthritis or cancer. Our pain management plans may include medications, physical therapy, or alternative therapies like acupuncture, tailored to your pet’s specific needs and monitored for safety and effectiveness.

We provide treatment for pets exposed to poisons or toxins, such as human medications, plants, chocolates, or household chemicals. Our emergency protocols include inducing vomiting (when safe), administering activated charcoal, IV fluids, and supportive care to counteract the effects of toxins. Early intervention is critical to preventing serious complications or fatalities.

We offer medical grooming services, including sanitary shaves, nail trimming, and medicated baths for pets with skin conditions or mobility issues. These services help maintain hygiene, prevent infections, and improve comfort, especially for senior pets or those with medical needs that require specialized care.

We provide anal gland expression to relieve discomfort or infections caused by impacted anal glands, which are common in dogs. This procedure is performed during routine exams or when symptoms like scooting, licking, or swelling around the rectum are observed. We ensure your pet’s comfort and may recommend dietary or environmental adjustments to prevent future issues.
