We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages during in-home or in-clinic visits to assess overall health, detect early signs of disease, and address age-specific concerns. These exams are foundational to preventive care and tailored to your pet’s lifestyle and current health status. We recommend regular exams (once to twice yearly) to ensure early intervention and optimal well-being.

We specialize in Senior Pet Wellness Care, offering tailored examinations, bloodwork, and monitoring to address age-related concerns like arthritis, organ function, and mobility. Our approach focuses on quality-of-life assessments, pain management, and proactive therapies (e.g., acupuncture, physical therapy) to support your senior pet’s comfort and longevity. Senior pets receive personalized plans that evolve with their needs.

We administer Core Vaccinations according to veterinary guidelines, including Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo vaccines, which are legally required or critical for protecting pets from severe, often fatal diseases. Vaccination protocols are customized during annual exams to align with your pet’s risk factors, lifestyle, and legal requirements (e.g., rabies vaccination is mandatory for dogs and cats in New York State).

We offer annual Heartworm Testing & Prevention programs using Interceptor Plus chews to protect pets from heartworm and intestinal parasites (e.g., hookworms, roundworms). Testing is non-invasive and recommended yearly, even for indoor pets, as heartworm can spread through mosquitoes. Prevention plans are integrated into your pet’s routine care and can be managed via our online pharmacy for convenience.

As part of pest prevention, we recommend Flea & Tick Prevention using products like Bravecto, which targets Lyme disease, Anaplasma, Ehrlichiosis, and Bartonella transmitted by ticks. We tailor prevention strategies based on your pet’s environment (e.g., rural vs. urban) and lifestyle. Products can be ordered through our online pharmacy or dispensed during appointments for convenience.

We provide Microchipping & Registration services as a permanent, safe way to identify your pet if lost. Microchips (about the size of a grain of rice) are implanted under the skin during routine exams or procedures and linked to your contact information in national pet recovery databases. Registration ensures your pet can be reunited with you even if their collar and tags are lost.

Our clinic includes Parasite Deworming (Intestinal) as part of routine preventive care, using Interceptor Plus to target common parasites like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. Fecal testing is recommended annually to screen for parasites, and deworming schedules are personalized during wellness exams. We emphasize proactiveness to prevent zoonotic risks and pet discomfort.

We perform In-House Bloodwork (including CBC and Chemistry Panels) during home or clinic visits to monitor organ function, detect early disease markers, and adjust treatment plans. Baseline bloodwork is recommended at all stages of life to track changes over time. Results are discussed during the same visit to ensure timely interventions, such as managing diabetes, kidney disease, or thyroid conditions.

We conduct Fecal Testing as part of annual wellness exams to screen for intestinal parasites, including giardia and coccidia. Early detection prevents parasitic infections that can cause gastrointestinal upset, weight loss, or zoonotic transmission. Testing is non-invasive and often paired with deworming or preventative medications to ensure comprehensive parasite control.

We offer Ultrasound Imaging services for both in-clinic and home visits, providing real-time diagnostic imaging of abdominal organs, heart (cardiac ultrasounds), pregnancy confirmations, and ocular structures. Abdominal ultrasounds assess organ health and blood flow, while ultrasound-guided biopsies offer minimally invasive tissue sampling. Procedures are performed using high-frequency sound waves to produce detailed images for targeted treatment planning.

Our clinic provides Spay & Neuter Surgery as a routine procedure to prevent unwanted pregnancies, reduce cancer risks (e.g., mammary tumors, testicular cancer), and minimize health issues like infections. With over a decade of experience, Dr. Wisser ensures transparency in the process, from pre-surgical exams to post-operative care instructions. We monitor pets continuously during recovery and offer next-day follow-ups to address concerns.

We offer Emergency Stabilization services through partnerships with local emergency clinics (e.g., Rochester Emergency Veterinary Services) and provide preliminary evaluations for acute issues during home visits. For urgent care needs, we coordinate care plans with specialized emergency facilities and ensure continuity of treatment. Clients are guided to nearby 24-hour emergency services as needed, with our team assisting with transport and handoffs.

While our primary service is mobile care, we provide Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring at our Geneseo clinic for pets requiring extended recovery or treatment (e.g., post-surgery, chronic conditions). Facilities include continuous care, IV fluids, and close observation by our staff. Clients receive detailed discharge instructions and follow-up to ensure a smooth transition home.

As part of in-clinic and emergency care, we administer IV Fluid Therapy to correct dehydration, support organ function, or stabilize critical patients. Fluids are tailored to individual needs (e.g., electrolyte balance, hydration, or post-anesthetic recovery) and monitored throughout treatment. This service is offered during hospitalization or complex procedures to ensure optimal outcomes.

We specialize in Pain Management for pets undergoing surgery, chronic conditions (e.g., arthritis), or injuries, using a multimodal approach that may include prescription pain medications, acupuncture, laser therapy, or physical rehabilitation. Pain assessment is an integral part of post-operative follow-ups and senior pet care to enhance comfort and Quality of Life. Customized plans are discussed during consultations.

Our Medical Grooming services address pets with special needs, including Ear Cleaning & Plucking (e.g., for chronic ear infections), Anal Gland Expression (for impactations), and Medicated Baths (to treat skin conditions like allergies or infections). Services are performed with care to avoid stress, and we educate clients on at-home maintenance to support ongoing health.

We provide Sanitary Shave preparations as part of diagnostic (e.g., ultrasounds) or therapeutic procedures (e.g., wound care, surgery). This service extends to safe clipping of fur around anal glands, ears, or surgical sites to promote healing and accuracy in examinations. Clients are advised on post-shave care to prevent skin irritation.

As part of Medical Grooming, we perform Anal Gland Expression to relieve discomfort or impactions in pets prone to this issue. This procedure is combined with client education on signs of gland issues and preventive measures (e.g., diet adjustments, fiber supplementation). Sessions are gentle and integrated into wellness visits when needed.

We integrate Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation into post-surgery, injury, or chronic condition care to restore mobility and reduce pain. Services may include hydrotherapy (e.g., underwater treadmill), assisted stretching, and therapeutic exercises tailored to your pet’s needs. Our goal is to improve function and Quality of Life through gradual, monitored rehabilitation plans.

We conduct Quality of Life Assessments for senior or terminally ill pets, using a comprehensive review of physical comfort, mobility, appetite, pain levels, and emotional well-being. These evaluations guide discussions about treatments, hospice care, or end-of-life decisions. Our compassionate approach prioritizes your pet’s dignity and your family’s needs during tough transitions.

While we perform in-clinic euthanasia, we also facilitate At-Home Euthanasia Referrals to mobile veterinarians for pet owners seeking end-of-life care in familiar surroundings. Our team assists with finding trusted providers, coordinating logistics, and providing post-euthanasia care guidance. We remain available for grief support and memorial discussions.

We offer Telemedicine Consultations for non-emergency evaluations using video calls, remote history-taking, and preliminary diagnostics. Dr. Wisser advises on minor injuries, chronic condition management (e.g., diabetes, arthritis), and preventative care tips. Medications and prescription diets can be shipped to your home post-consultation, and in-person visits are scheduled only when necessary.
