South Shore Veterinary Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams during wellness visits, where our veterinarians examine every aspect of your pet’s health—from coat and eyes to heart, lungs, and joints—to establish a baseline for their well-being. These exams help us detect early signs of illness, monitor chronic conditions, and tailor preventative care plans specific to your pet’s needs.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to give young pets the strongest start in life. These packages include age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, parasite prevention, and developmental health assessments to ensure your new furry family member grows into a healthy adult.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care programs focus on proactive aging care for pets 7+ years old. We conduct comprehensive exams, recommend senior-specific bloodwork (like CBC and chemistry panels), and adjust vaccinations/nutrition to address age-related risks such as arthritis, dental disease, or organ decline.

We provide essential Core Vaccinations—including rabies, distemper, and parvovirus—to protect your pet from life-threatening diseases. These vaccines are the foundation of preventative care and are tailored to your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors during wellness visits.

We include Heartworm Testing during annual exams for dogs and offer year-round prevention plans to safeguard against this deadly parasite. Heartworm disease can be fatal, so our proactive approach combines testing with monthly preventive medications tailored to your pet’s needs.

Our clinic provides Flea & Tick Prevention solutions to protect your pets from parasites that cause discomfort, allergies, and serious diseases like Lyme. We recommend treatments based on your pet’s lifestyle (e.g., outdoor access) and offer year-round or seasonal plans.

Microchipping & Registration is a permanent way to ensure your pet can be identified if lost. We implant microchips during routine visits and register them in national databases, providing peace of mind that your contact information is always up-to-date.

We offer personalized Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management to optimize your pet’s diet for their life stage, activity level, and health conditions (e.g., diabetes or arthritis). Our team evaluates food options, recommends therapeutic diets, and creates weight-loss/gain plans with follow-up support.

Parasite Deworming is a critical part of our preventative care, especially for puppies/kittens and pets at risk. We test for intestinal parasites during exams and prescribe dewormers to eliminate infections, ensuring your pet stays healthy and comfortable.

Our in-house lab provides fast results for In-House Bloodwork, including complete blood counts (CBC) and chemistry panels. These tests help us diagnose illnesses, monitor organ function, and tailor treatment plans—all while you wait during your visit.

Urinalysis is a key diagnostic tool we use to assess kidney function, detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), or identify metabolic issues like diabetes. This non-invasive test provides valuable insights during wellness or illness evaluations.

We utilize Digital X-Rays to diagnose fractures, tumors, heart/lung conditions, and abdominal issues with precision. Our digital radiography allows instant image sharing with specialists for faster, more accurate treatment planning.

Ultrasound Imaging helps us examine organs (e.g., liver, kidneys, heart) and identify issues like cysts, tumors, or pregnancy. This non-invasive tool provides real-time imaging to guide diagnostics and treatment decisions.

For pets with chronic itching, skin infections, or food sensitivities, we offer Allergy Testing (e.g., intradermal testing or blood panels) to pinpoint environmental or dietary triggers. This allows us to create targeted treatment plans for relief.

Spay & Neuter Surgery is a routine procedure we perform with strict safety protocols, including preoperative bloodwork and pain management. These surgeries reduce health risks (e.g., cancers, infections) and help control pet populations responsibly.

While we do not accept walk-in emergencies, we provide Emergency Stabilization for established clients by offering immediate care plans (e.g., IV fluids, pain management) to prepare pets for specialized emergency facilities when needed.

Pain Management is a cornerstone of our surgical and medical care. We create individualized pain control plans pre-, during, and post-procedure using medications, laser therapy, or acupuncture to ensure your pet’s comfort and mobility.

Medical Grooming services include Sanitary Shave, Nail Trimming & Dremeling, Anal Gland Expression, and Ear Cleaning/Plucking for pets with special needs (e.g., skin conditions, arthritis). These procedures promote hygiene and reduce discomfort.

Acupuncture is an integrative therapy we use to treat pain, inflammation, and mobility issues (e.g., arthritis, post-surgery recovery) by stimulating specific points on the body. Sessions are tailored to your pet’s condition for natural healing support.

Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation includes Underwater Treadmill Therapy, therapeutic exercises, and massage to aid recovery from injuries, surgery, or chronic conditions. Our programs are designed to restore function and improve quality of life.

Telemedicine Consultations allow you to discuss non-emergency concerns (e.g., medication questions, minor ailments) via secure video calls. This service provides quick access to our team for routine advice or follow-ups.
