Merrifield Rebecca DVM at Mt Laurel Animal Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams during wellness visits, geriatric check-ups, or any time your pet needs a full health assessment. Our team evaluates every system—from skin and coat to heart, lungs, and joints—to detect early signs of illness and ensure your pet stays healthy.

We offer tailored Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to give your new furry family member the best start in life. These packages include vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, spay/neuter consultations, and nutritional guidance to support growth and development.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care programs focus on proactive aging care for pets 7+ years old. We recommend senior-specific bloodwork, dental evaluations, joint supplements, and customized wellness plans to detect age-related conditions early and improve quality of life.

We administer all Core Vaccinations, including rabies, distemper, and parvovirus, as part of our preventive care protocols. These vaccines are essential for protecting your pet from serious, often fatal diseases and may be required by law in New Jersey.

We provide annual Heartworm Testing and year-round prevention programs to protect your dog from this deadly mosquito-borne disease. Heartworm prevention is simple, affordable, and far safer than treating an advanced infection.

Our team offers a variety of Flea & Tick Prevention options tailored to your pet’s needs, including topical treatments, oral medications, and collars. We also educate clients on how to check for ticks and reduce environmental risks in New Jersey.

We provide Microchipping & Registration through HomeAgain, a permanent and reliable way to identify your pet if they’re lost. Microchipping takes just seconds and can be done during any wellness visit or surgery.

Our veterinarians offer Nutritional Counseling to help you choose the best diet for your pet’s life stage, breed, and health needs. We also provide weight management plans to address obesity, a common issue linked to diabetes, arthritis, and other diseases.

We perform Parasite Deworming for intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms during puppy/kitten visits or as part of routine wellness care. Stool testing may be recommended to identify specific parasites.

While we don’t offer in-house training classes, our team provides Behavioral Counseling during appointments to address common issues like anxiety, aggression, or housebreaking. We can also refer you to certified trainers for specialized help.

Our hospital performs In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to diagnose illnesses like kidney disease, diabetes, or infections. We offer same-day results for prompt treatment decisions.

We provide Urinalysis as part of wellness exams or diagnostic workups to screen for urinary tract infections, crystals, kidney disease, and diabetes. Early detection helps prevent serious complications.

Our Fecal Testing service checks for intestinal parasites (e.g., giardia, coccidia) and internal worms. This is especially important for puppies, kittens, or pets with diarrhea, as some parasites can affect humans too.

We use Digital X-Rays to diagnose fractures, arthritis, heart disease, and abdominal issues. Our advanced radiography equipment provides clear images for accurate diagnoses and treatment planning.

Our hospital offers Ultrasound Imaging for detailed evaluation of organs like the liver, kidneys, spleen, and heart. Ultrasounds are non-invasive and help diagnose conditions such as tumors, cysts, or pregnancy.

Our Dental X-Rays reveal issues like abscesses, root fractures, or hidden tooth decay that aren’t visible during a visual exam. These radiographs guide our treatment plans for extractions or periodontal therapy.

We perform Tooth Extractions for diseased, broken, or severely decayed teeth under general anesthesia with local blocks for pain management. This helps prevent infection and systemic illness linked to oral bacteria.

Our hospital offers Spay & Neuter Surgery as a routine procedure to prevent unwanted litters, reduce cancer risks (e.g., mammary tumors), and improve longevity. We use modern techniques for minimal recovery time.

Our emergency team specializes in Foreign Body Removal, using endoscopy or surgery to safely extract objects ingested by pets (e.g., toys, bones). Early intervention prevents complications like perforations or obstructions.

We perform C-Sections in emergency situations where natural birth is unsafe for the mother or puppies/kittens. Our surgical team monitors recovery closely to ensure a smooth transition for both mom and newborns.

Our hospital treats Wound & Laceration Repair with advanced techniques, including sutures, staples, or skin adhesives. We also provide wound management for chronic or infected wounds to promote healing.

Our 24/7 emergency team provides Emergency Stabilization for critical cases, including trauma, poisoning, or organ failure. We use IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and monitoring to bridge pets to definitive care.

We offer Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for pets requiring intensive care, such as post-surgery recovery or chronic illness management. Our ICU unit is staffed with experienced technicians and veterinarians.

Our critical care team provides Oxygen Therapy for pets suffering from respiratory distress, heart failure, or smoke inhalation. Oxygen cages and nasal catheters help stabilize patients during treatment.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy to correct dehydration, support kidney function, or maintain hydration during illness or surgery. Our fluids are tailored to your pet’s specific needs for optimal recovery.

Our hospital offers comprehensive Pain Management, including oral medications, injections, and multimodal therapies (e.g., NSAIDs, opioids). We prioritize comfort during procedures and chronic conditions like arthritis.

In cases of Poison & Toxin Treatment, we induce vomiting (when safe), administer activated charcoal, or use IV fluids to flush toxins. Our team has access to ASPCA Poison Control for expert guidance on toxic exposures.

Our hospital provides CT Scan & MRI services for detailed imaging of complex cases, such as brain tumors, spinal injuries, or abdominal masses. These advanced tools improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.

We provide Medical Grooming services like sanitary shaves (for urinary issues), nail trims, and ear cleaning. These services help prevent infections and improve your pet’s comfort during recovery or chronic care.

Our Sanitary Shave service is ideal for pets with urinary incontinence or skin conditions requiring easy access to the genital area. This reduces matting and improves hygiene.

We offer Nail Trimming & Dremeling as part of routine care or medical grooming. Overgrown nails can cause pain, joint issues, or even fractures, so regular trims are essential.

Our team performs Anal Gland Expression to relieve impacted glands in dogs, a common issue causing scooting, licking, or discomfort. This procedure is quick and helps prevent infections or abscesses.

We provide Quality of Life Assessments for senior or chronically ill pets to help you make informed decisions about their comfort. This includes evaluating pain, mobility, appetite, and happiness.

We offer Telemedicine Consultations for minor illnesses, medication discussions, or follow-ups. This service provides quick access to veterinary advice without an in-person visit.
