Old York Veterinary Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams during wellness visits, evaluating all major organ systems and assessing overall health. These exams help us detect early signs of illness, monitor chronic conditions, or address subtle changes in your pet’s well-being. We use this opportunity to discuss concerns, recommend preventive care, and establish a personalized health plan tailored to your pet’s unique needs.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to ensure your new pet starts life on the right foot. Our packages include vaccine scheduling, parasite prevention (deworming and flea/tick control), and personalized health guidance for growth and development. We’ll review records, answer questions, and create a tailored plan to keep your puppy or kitten healthy and happy from day one.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on proactive health management for pets aged 7+, addressing age-related changes with customized plans. We emphasize routine bloodwork, diagnostic testing (like SDMA for early kidney disease detection), and adjustments to nutrition, exercise, or medications as needed. Regular wellness visits help us monitor subtle shifts in health and ensure your senior pet enjoys a comfortable, high-quality life.

We provide essential Core Vaccinations to protect your pet from serious diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. During puppy/kitten visits or wellness exams, we’ll review vaccination schedules, ensure up-to-date protection, and discuss lifestyle-based recommendations. Your pet’s safety is our priority—we tailor vaccine plans to their age, health status, and risk factors.

While not explicitly stated, we infer Heartworm Testing & Prevention as part of our parasite prevention protocols (mentioned in puppy/kitten care). We prioritize year-round heartworm protection through testing and preventive medications to safeguard your pet’s health. Ask us during wellness visits about tailored prevention strategies for your region and lifestyle.

As part of our Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages and general parasite control, we recommend and administer Flea & Tick Prevention treatments. These preventatives protect your pet from infestations, diseases (like Lyme), and discomfort. We’ll help you choose the most effective option based on your pet’s environment and activity level.

We offer Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management as part of senior pet care and wellness exams. Our team provides personalized diet recommendations, obesity prevention strategies, and guidance on managing weight-related health issues (e.g., diabetes, joint problems). A balanced diet is key to longevity—we’ll work with you to optimize your pet’s nutrition at every life stage.

During Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages and routine exams, we perform Parasite Deworming to eliminate intestinal parasites like roundworms or hookworms. We’ll discuss prevention strategies, testing protocols, and deworming schedules tailored to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk of exposure. Keeping parasites at bay is critical for their long-term health.

Our complete in-house lab allows us to perform In-House Bloodwork, including CBCs and chemistry panels, during wellness visits or diagnostic workups. This rapid testing helps us monitor organ function, detect early diseases (like kidney or liver issues), and adjust treatment plans promptly. Senior pets benefit especially from routine bloodwork to track age-related changes.

We conduct Urinalysis as part of our diagnostic services, particularly for senior pets or those with urinary concerns. This testing helps identify infections, crystals, kidney disease, or metabolic issues early. Urinalysis is often recommended annually for seniors or during wellness exams to ensure urinary tract health.

As part of our parasite prevention protocols (mentioned in puppy/kitten care), we recommend Fecal Testing to screen for intestinal parasites. This non-invasive test is crucial for young pets, outdoor animals, or those showing digestive symptoms. We’ll discuss testing frequency and results during wellness visits.

We utilize state-of-the-art digital radiography (X-rays) for accurate diagnostics, including dental imaging, orthopedic evaluations, and abdominal scans. Our VetPro system provides high-resolution images to assess hidden issues like periodontal disease or internal abnormalities. Digital X-rays are faster, safer, and more precise than traditional film methods.

Our Digital X-Rays include specialized dental radiography to evaluate hidden periodontal disease (60% of which lies below the gum line). Using VetPro technology, we detect issues like root infections or fractured teeth that aren’t visible during a visual exam. This precision guides effective treatment plans.

We perform Tooth Extractions for severely decayed, infected, or broken teeth to relieve pain and prevent systemic infections. Our surgical team ensures safe procedures with advanced monitoring and pain management. Post-operative care instructions are provided to support a smooth recovery.

Our Oral Surgery services address complex dental issues, including fractured jaws, cysts, or tumor removals. We use sterile techniques, digital imaging for planning, and compassionate care to minimize discomfort. Whether it’s a minor extraction or major reconstruction, we prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort.

We treat Periodontal Disease through professional cleanings, scaling, root planing, and medications to combat gum infections. Early detection via dental X-rays allows us to intervene before disease progresses to tooth loss or systemic illness. Home care education is also provided to slow progression between visits.

As part of our dental care services, we educate pet owners on At-Home Dental Care techniques, including tooth brushing, dental diets, and oral health products. Proper at-home care extends the time between professional cleanings and reduces plaque buildup. We’ll demonstrate methods tailored to your pet’s needs during wellness visits.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery as routine procedures to prevent unwanted litters, reduce cancer risks (e.g., mammary tumors), and improve longevity. Our team uses advanced monitoring, pain management, and sterile techniques to ensure safety. Post-surgery care instructions are provided to support a smooth recovery at home.

We perform Foreign Body Removal surgeries to extract ingested objects or embedded debris from the gastrointestinal tract or skin. Our team uses imaging guidance and minimally invasive techniques when possible to ensure safety. Prompt action is critical—contact us immediately if you suspect your pet has swallowed a foreign object.

We provide C-Section services for safe delivery of puppies or kittens when natural birth is complicated by dystocia, fetal distress, or maternal health concerns. Our surgical team monitors both mother and offspring closely, ensuring a sterile environment and post-operative care for optimal recovery.

Our Wound & Laceration Repair services include cleaning, suturing, or advanced techniques (like skin grafts) to heal injuries. We prioritize infection prevention and pain management, with follow-up care instructions. Whether it’s a bite wound or surgical incision, we ensure proper healing for your pet’s comfort.

We perform Bladder Stone Removal via cystotomy surgery to alleviate pain and prevent urinary blockages in affected pets. Pre-operative diagnostics (like urinalysis) guide treatment, and we provide post-surgical care to monitor recovery. Dietary adjustments may also be recommended to prevent recurrence.

Our Cherry Eye Repair surgery corrects prolapsed gland issues in the third eyelid, restoring comfort and function. We use precise techniques to re-position the gland and secure it surgically. Post-operative care includes eye drops and activity restrictions to ensure proper healing.

While not explicitly detailed, our advanced surgical monitoring and in-house lab capabilities support Emergency Stabilization for critical cases. We prioritize rapid diagnostics (e.g., bloodwork, X-rays) and interventions to address trauma, poisoning, or acute illnesses. Our AAHA accreditation ensures we meet high standards for emergency care.

We provide Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for pets requiring intensive care post-surgery, during illness recovery, or after emergencies. Our team offers round-the-clock observation, IV fluids, pain management, and adjustments to treatment plans as needed. Your pet’s comfort and safety are our top priorities.

As part of our critical care services, we administer Oxygen Therapy for pets with respiratory distress or post-anesthetic recovery needs. Our facility is equipped to deliver controlled oxygen supplementation, ensuring optimal healing and comfort during recovery.

We provide IV Fluid Therapy to maintain hydration, support organ function, or treat dehydration in hospitalized pets. This therapy is essential for post-surgical patients, those with kidney disease, or pets recovering from illness. Our team monitors fluid balance closely to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Our Pain Management protocols include pre-emptive, multi-modal approaches for surgical and chronic pain relief. We use medications, local anesthesia, and monitoring tools to minimize discomfort during procedures and recovery. Your pet’s well-being is our focus—we’ll discuss pain management options tailored to their condition.

In cases of Poison & Toxin Exposure, we provide emergency treatment, including induced vomiting (when safe), IV fluids, and supportive care. Our team follows protocols for common toxins (e.g., chocolate, lilies) and may use activated charcoal or specific antidotes. Immediate action is critical—contact us if you suspect poisoning.

While not explicitly listed, we infer Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation support for post-surgical or orthopedic patients based on our focus on advanced care. We may recommend controlled exercise, hydrotherapy (if available), or therapeutic exercises to improve mobility and recovery. Ask us about tailored rehab plans during follow-up visits.

We provide Quality of Life Assessments to help pet owners evaluate their companion’s well-being, especially in senior or chronically ill pets. This holistic approach considers pain levels, mobility, appetite, and happiness to guide informed decisions about treatment plans or palliative care.
