Animal Care Center of Polaris

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets at every life stage, evaluating overall health from nose to tail. These exams help detect early signs of illness, establish baseline values (like vital signs and lab work), and ensure your pet remains healthy and comfortable.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages tailored to young pets, including vaccinations, deworming, parasite prevention, and developmental health assessments. Our packages support immune system maturation and set the foundation for a lifetime of wellness.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care includes age-specific exams, diagnostic testing (like bloodwork), and tailored nutrition/medication plans to address conditions like arthritis or organ decline. We prioritize early detection and proactive care for aging pets.

We administer Core Vaccinations such as Rabies, Distemper, and Parvovirus to protect pets from life-threatening diseases. These vaccines are essential for all dogs/cats and are part of our preventive care protocols during wellness visits.

We provide Heartworm Testing annually (or more frequently if needed) and prescribe preventive medications year-round. Early detection and prevention are key to avoiding this deadly parasite, especially in mosquito-prone areas.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention services include tailored treatments and monthly preventatives to protect pets from parasites. We also offer flea/tick baths for severe infestations and educate owners on environmental control measures.

We implant Microchips during procedures or wellness visits, providing a permanent ID linked to your contact information. Registration through databases like HomeAgain ensures lost pets can be reunited quickly—we also assist with updates.

Our Nutritional Counseling includes personalized diet plans, weight management strategies, and supplements (e.g., joint/skin support) to address obesity, allergies, or life-stage needs. We partner with owners to optimize their pet’s health through proper nutrition.

We perform Parasite Deworming for intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and giardia during wellness visits or as needed. Fecal testing guides treatment to ensure effective eradication and prevent reinfection.

Our Behavioral Counseling addresses issues like anxiety, aggression, or house training through one-on-one consultations and customized plans. We also offer socialization classes for puppies/kittens to foster confidence in new environments.

We conduct In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to diagnose conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, or infections. Rapid results allow us to adjust treatment plans promptly during your visit.

Our Urinalysis service screens for urinary tract infections, crystals, or kidney dysfunction. This diagnostic tool is often included in senior wellness exams or when pets show signs of discomfort (e.g., frequent urination).

We perform Fecal Testing to detect intestinal parasites, bacteria (e.g., *Salmonella*), and digestive issues. Required for boarding/daycare, this test ensures your pet’s health and prevents zoonotic risks.

Our Digital X-Rays provide detailed imaging for fractures, foreign objects, heart/lung conditions, or dental disease. We use low-radiation technology to diagnose issues quickly and plan surgeries when needed.

We offer Ultrasound Imaging to evaluate abdominal organs (liver, kidneys), reproductive health, or cardiac function. This non-invasive tool helps detect tumors, cysts, or pregnancy in pets without sedation in many cases.

During dental procedures, we take Dental X-Rays to assess hidden issues like root infections or fractured teeth. This allows us to treat problems below the gumline that aren’t visible during a visual exam.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery to prevent unwanted litters, reduce cancer risks (e.g., mammary tumors), and manage behavioral issues. Our team follows strict surgical protocols for safety and minimal recovery time.

During business hours, we offer Emergency Stabilization for critical cases like trauma, poisoning, or collapse. Our team provides IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and pain management to bridge pets to recovery or specialized care.

For pets requiring overnight care (e.g., post-surgery or chronic conditions), we provide Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring. Our staff ensures continuous observation, medication administration, and comfort.

We administer Oxygen Therapy for pets with respiratory distress (e.g., asthma, smoke inhalation) or post-anesthesia recovery. Oxygen cages or nasal catheters help stabilize breathing until underlying issues are addressed.

Our IV Fluid Therapy supports hydration in dehydrated pets, those with kidney disease, or undergoing surgery. Fluids help maintain organ function and speed recovery during hospitalization.

We provide Pain Management through medications, laser therapy, or acupuncture for chronic conditions (e.g., arthritis) or post-surgical care. Comfort is a priority in our treatment plans.

In cases of Poison & Toxin ingestion (e.g., chocolate, lilies, antifreeze), we induce vomiting, administer activated charcoal, or use IV therapies to detoxify pets. Prompt action is critical for recovery.

Medical Grooming includes services like Sanitary Shave, Nail Trimming & Dremeling, and Medicated Baths for skin conditions. We tailor grooming to your pet’s health needs, especially for diabetic or elderly pets.

We perform Anal Gland Expression to relieve impacted glands in dogs, which can cause pain or scooting. This quick procedure is often done during grooming or wellness visits if issues are detected.

Standard Pet Boarding is available 7 days a week in climate-controlled kennels with outdoor exercise areas for dogs. We provide prescription diets (e.g., Purina EN), medications, and cleaning multiple times daily.

Doggie Daycare offers supervised playtime, socialization, and exercise in spacious facilities. Our staff monitors health/safety and can add grooming or vaccinations before departure for convenience.

We provide Quality of Life Assessments for senior or terminally ill pets, helping owners evaluate comfort, mobility, and happiness. This guides decisions about palliative care or end-of-life options.
