University Animal Hospital

We emphasize Comprehensive Physical Exams as the foundation of your pet’s care, performed during every visit. These exams allow us to evaluate your pet’s overall health and catch early signs of illness. Our team discusses care recommendations, lifestyle vaccinations, and preventative diagnostics tailored to your pet’s unique needs.

We offer Core Vaccinations to protect your pet against preventable diseases like Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo. Our personalized approach tailors immunization schedules based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and lifestyle risks to ensure optimal protection.

Our diagnostic care includes Heartworm Testing & Prevention, as heartworm disease can be life-threatening. We use annual testing and preventive medications to safeguard your pet against this mosquito-transmitted parasite, especially in regions like New York where heartworm is a risk.

We provide Microchipping & Registration for permanent pet identification. This quick, painless procedure implants a unique ID chip between your pet’s shoulder blades, increasing their chances of reunification if lost. Registration ensures your contact information is stored in national databases.

Our in-house lab offers rapid In-House Bloodwork to detect early signs of conditions like liver disease, diabetes, kidney failure, or blood parasites. Pre-surgical and annual wellness testing provides valuable baselines for monitoring long-term health or managing chronic illnesses.

We provide Urinalysis as a routine wellness or diagnostic tool to check for urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney disease, bladder stones, or glucose abnormalities. This simple test aids in early disease detection and treatment planning for cats and dogs.

Fecal Testing is available to screen for intestinal parasites like giardia, hookworms, and roundworms. This service ensures early detection and appropriate deworming, protecting your pet’s gastrointestinal health and preventing zootic risks to humans or other animals.

Our hospital uses Digital X-Rays for rapid, high-resolution imaging during emergencies, wellness exams, or dental care. In-house radiology allows instant evaluation of injuries, illnesses, or dental issues (e.g., fractures, tumor detection), supporting faster diagnoses and treatment decisions.

We utilize Ultrasound Imaging for non-invasive evaluation of internal organs in the chest and abdomen. This low-stress technique aids in diagnosing heart disease, detecting masses, performing guided biopsies, and assessing pregnancy—often without sedation. Our advanced machine provides high-definition images for accurate assessments.

As part of our diagnostic care, we perform Blood Pressure Monitoring to detect conditions like hypertension in dogs and cats, which can damage organs and kidneys. Regular monitoring helps us tailor treatments for pets with heart disease, kidney issues, or geriatric needs.

Our Dental X-Rays use advanced digital radiology to detect issues invisible to the naked eye, such as root fractures, periodontal disease, and oral tumors. These images guide our team in planning extractions, root canals, or other oral surgeries needed for long-term dental health.

We perform Tooth Extractions for pets with diseased, broken, or retained teeth, including retained deciduous (baby) teeth in small breeds. Extractions are done under anesthesia with pain management and may occur during spay/neuter procedures for convenience and safety.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery as a routine preventive service or at a young age to reduce overpopulation, lower cancer risks, and curb unwanted behaviors. Our sterile surgical suite, advanced monitoring, and postoperative pain management ensure a safe procedure for your pet.

For Foreign Body Removal, we employ endoscopy, surgical exploration, or exploratory laparotomy to safely retrieve ingested or lodged objects from the esophagus, stomach, or intestines. Our team prioritizes rapid intervention to prevent complications like blockages or peritonitis.

We handle Wound & Laceration Repair using sterile techniques, sutures, or adhesives depending on the severity. Emergency cases receive immediate stabilizing care, whereas chronic wounds may require advanced diagnostics (e.g., biopsies) and wound management plans for successful healing.

During emergencies, we provide Emergency Stabilization with IV fluids, oxygen therapy, pain relief, and diagnostics (e.g., bloodwork, X-rays) to diagnose and treat trauma, poisoning, or critical illnesses like GDV (gastric dilation/volvulus) within minutes.

We provide Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for pets requiring ongoing care, such as post-surgery recovery, chronic conditions, or critical illness. Our dedicated team ensures constant observation, medication adjustments, and pain management tailored to your pet’s needs.

Our Oxygen Therapy services provide supplemental oxygen to pets suffering from respiratory distress, trauma, heart disease, or anesthesia complications. Oxygen cages, masks, or flow-by methods ensure your pet receives the necessary support during recovery or crises.

Already included above due to overlap with critical care services.

Pain Management is a core part of our surgical, dental, and medical procedures. Our team administers multi-modal pain relief (e.g., medications, anesthesia adjustments) to ensure your pet experiences minimal discomfort during recovery. Personalized post-operative care includes pain assessments and medication support.

We specialize in Poison & Toxin Treatment for pets ingesting chocolate, lilies, human medications, or other toxins. Our protocol includes induced vomiting, activated charcoal, IV fluids, and monitoring to mitigate organ damage and stabilize critical cases.

Alongside routine grooming, we provide Medical Grooming such as Sanitary Shave, Nail Trimming & Dremeling, and Anal Gland Expression to address health issues. These services help prevent infections, skin conditions, and discomfort, especially for pets with mobility issues or specialized breeds.
