Highlands Veterinary Hospital

We begin every patient visit with a thorough nose-to-tail Comprehensive Physical Exam to identify potential health concerns and establish a baseline for their well-being. Our team evaluates all systems, from skin and coat to vital organs and joints, ensuring nothing goes unnoticed.

We provide tailored Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to set your new pet up for a lifetime of health. Our plans include comprehensive exams, parasite testing, age-appropriate vaccinations, and educational guidance to support their growth and development during their critical early months.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care includes customized health plans for aging pets, featuring advanced diagnostics like bloodwork, thyroid testing, and imaging to detect early signs of decline. These preventive measures help extend their vitality and quality of life in their golden years.

We administer all essential Core Vaccinations, including rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and canine hepatitis, to protect your pet from severe and often life-threatening diseases. For cats, we provide feline core vaccines for rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia as part of their routine care.

We provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention through rapid blood tests and preventative medications to safeguard your pet from this potentially fatal disease. With heartworm now endemic in Montana, prevention is our preferred approach to protect your pet’s health and longevity.

We offer Microchipping & Registration with TempScan technology, allowing us to monitor your pet’s body temperature during visits and providing a permanent ID if they’re lost. Your pet’s unique chip is registered in a national database to ensure reunification with you quickly and reliably.

Our veterinarians provide personalized Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management, assessing your pet’s ideal weight and recommending diets—whether over-the-counter or prescription—to address conditions like allergies, kidney disease, or obesity. We also discuss raw or boutique diets if they align with your pet’s health needs.

We treat and prevent intestinal parasites through Parasite Deworming with broad-spectrum medications, particularly important for puppies, kittens, and outdoor pets. Regular fecal testing helps us identify and address infestations that can cause severe health issues, including giardia and coccidia.

We perform In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to diagnose conditions like anemia, infections, organ disease, and metabolic disorders. Results are available same-day, allowing us to address health concerns promptly and accurately.

Our Urinalysis tests evaluate kidney function, detect infections, crystals, or abnormalities like glucose, and screen for conditions such as diabetes or bladder stones. This diagnostic tool is essential for monitoring urinary tract health and early disease detection.

We offer Fecal Testing to diagnose intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, tapeworms, giardia) through stool samples. Early detection ensures timely treatment, preventing health complications for your pet and reducing zoonotic risks for your household.

We utilize Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose fractures, assess organ size/shape, evaluate lung fields, and detect subclinical conditions like arthritis or metastatic disease. Our digital system allows for seamless sharing of images with specialists for advanced diagnostics.

Our Ultrasound Imaging evaluates organs, fluids, urinary bladder contents, and intestinal layers, providing non-invasive insights into abdominal and pelvic health. This technology complements our X-ray diagnostics and supports early disease detection.

Our digital Dental X-Rays enable us to identify hidden dental problems such as root infections, fractures, or abscesses below the gumline. These diagnostics guide our approach to dental care, ensuring comprehensive treatment for better oral health.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery as routine procedures to prevent unintended pregnancies, reduce cancer risks (e.g., mammary, testicular), and mitigate behavioral issues. Our surgeries are performed with strict monitoring of vitals, IV fluids, and anesthetized pain management for safety.

We treat cases of Foreign Body Removal, including gastrointestinal obstructions or ingested objects, through surgery under strict monitoring. Emergencies like these require immediate intervention to prevent life-threatening complications.

We provide C-Section (Cesarean Section) services for high-risk deliveries, maternal complications, or fetal distress, ensuring both mother and puppies/kittens receive critical medical care. Every case is managed with anesthesia, IV fluids, and postoperative monitoring.

Our team closes Wound & Laceration Repair with sutures, glues, or other specialized techniques to promote proper healing while minimizing infection risks. We prioritize pain management and follow-up care to support recovery.

We use Cold Laser Therapy to reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, and manage chronic pain from conditions like osteoarthritis, skin infections, or post-surgical recovery. Non-invasive and drug-free, it’s an effective addition to our holistic treatment options.
