Genesee Valley Visiting Vet, PLLC

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages during home visits or in-clinic appointments. Our exams include evaluations of overall health, early disease detection, and personalized wellness recommendations tailored to your pet’s needs. Regular exams (annually or biannually) are key to maintaining longevity and preventing health issues.

We specialize in Senior Pet Wellness Care, offering tailored evaluations for aging pets to assess mobility, organ function, and quality of life. Our services include geriatric bloodwork, pain management, and lifestyle adjustments to ensure comfort and vitality in their golden years. We also provide Quality of Life Assessments to guide end-of-life decisions.

We administer Core Vaccinations (including Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo) as required by law and essential for disease prevention. Rabies vaccination is mandatory in New York State for dogs and cats. We customize vaccination plans based on your pet’s lifestyle, health status, and risk factors during annual wellness exams.

We provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention as part of our annual wellness protocols. Annual screenings are recommended for early detection, and we prescribe preventive medications like Interceptor Plus (chewable tablets) to safeguard against heartworm disease and intestinal parasites (hookworms, roundworms, whipworms, tapeworms).

We recommend and prescribe Flea & Tick Prevention treatments, including Bravecto (monthly chewables), to protect pets from ticks carrying diseases like Lyme, Anaplasma, Ehrlichiosis, and Bartonella. These medications are available through our online pharmacy or in-clinic for convenience.

We offer Microchipping & Registration during routine exams or anesthetic procedures (e.g., spay/neuter). Our microchips are permanent IDs that can be registered online to ensure your pet can be reunited with you if lost. This service is quick, painless, and a critical safety measure for all pets.

We provide Parasite Deworming for intestinal parasites as part of our preventive care plans. Medications like Interceptor Plus target common parasites (roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms) and are recommended annually or as needed based on fecal testing results. Deworming is often combined with Flea & Tick Prevention for comprehensive parasite control.

We perform In-House Bloodwork (including CBC and Chemistry Panels) during home visits or in-clinic to monitor organ function, detect early diseases (e.g., kidney, liver issues), and guide treatment plans. Baseline bloodwork is recommended for pets of all ages to track long-term health trends.

We conduct Fecal Testing to screen for intestinal parasites (e.g., giardia, coccidia) and ensure effective deworming. Annual fecal exams are part of our preventive care routine, especially for pets with outdoor access or symptoms like diarrhea. Results help tailor parasite control strategies.

We offer Ultrasound Imaging services for abdominal, cardiac, pregnancy, and ocular evaluations, both in-clinic and during home visits. Ultrasounds provide real-time imaging of internal organs, blood flow, and fetal development, aiding in early disease detection (e.g., tumors, heart conditions) and ultrasound-guided biopsies for minimally invasive sampling.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery as routine procedures to prevent pregnancies, reduce cancer risks (e.g., mammary tumors, testicular cancer), and minimize infections. Our surgical team provides transparent pricing, continuous monitoring during recovery, and post-operative care instructions. Appointments are available in-clinic for these lifesaving procedures.

We provide Emergency Stabilization services for acute conditions during home visits or in-clinic, though complex emergencies may require referral to nearby 24-hour facilities (e.g., Rochester Emergency Veterinary Services). Our team assesses critical cases, administers immediate care, and coordinates transfers when necessary.

We offer Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for pets requiring intensive care, including post-surgical recovery, chronic conditions, or acute illnesses. Our expanded hospital space ensures continuous observation, IV fluids, and pain management under veterinary supervision.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy as part of hospitalization or emergency care to treat dehydration, kidney disease, or post-surgical recovery. Fluids are carefully monitored to restore hydration, support organ function, and aid in medication delivery.

We provide Pain Management for pets undergoing surgery, chronic conditions (e.g., arthritis), or injuries. Our protocols include preemptive, intraoperative, and post-operative pain control to ensure comfort and mobility during recovery.

We treat Poison & Toxin exposures during home visits or in-clinic, offering immediate interventions like induced vomiting (when safe), IV fluids, and supportive care. Common toxins include human foods (chocolate, xylitol), plants, and household chemicals. Contact us 24/7 for emergencies.

We conduct Quality of Life Assessments for senior or terminally ill pets to evaluate pain levels, mobility, appetite, and happiness. These assessments guide decisions about palliative care, euthanasia timing, or medical interventions to ensure dignity and comfort in end-of-life stages.

We offer At-Home Euthanasia Referrals for pets where home is their most comfortable environment. We coordinate with mobile euthanasia services to provide compassionate, in-home care tailored to your pet’s needs and your family’s wishes.

We provide Telemedicine Consultations for non-emergency medical advice, prescription renewals, and minor condition management. Using video calls and health histories, Dr. Lauren offers recommendations while reducing travel barriers for clients with mobility concerns or busy schedules.
