Byland Animal Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages to assess overall health, detect early signs of illness, and establish a baseline for preventive care. These exams include evaluations of major organ systems, behavior, and lifestyle factors to tailor personalized health plans for your pet.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to ensure your new pet starts life on the right foot. These packages include 'nose-to-tail' physical exams, core vaccinations (such as parvo and feline leukemia), deworming, and education on nutrition, training, and parasite prevention to set your pet up for a healthy future.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on the unique needs of aging pets (considered seniors at ~7 years old). We provide tailored wellness exams, routine bloodwork, and diagnostic testing to monitor age-related changes, adjust medications, and ensure your senior pet’s comfort and longevity. We also address subtle health shifts that may indicate underlying issues.

We administer Core Vaccinations (including rabies, distemper, and parvo) to protect your pet from deadly diseases. Rabies vaccination is legally required and critical for public safety, while distemper and parvo vaccines safeguard against highly contagious and often fatal illnesses. Vaccination schedules are customized based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors.

We provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention to detect and prevent this deadly parasitic disease transmitted by mosquitoes. Annual testing is recommended for all pets, even those on preventive medication, as heartworm can cause severe lung and heart damage. Our team will recommend the most effective prevention strategy for your pet’s lifestyle.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention services include expert recommendations for medications and environmental control to protect your pet from parasites that transmit diseases like Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, and tapeworms. We offer year-round prevention tailored to your pet’s risk level, including flea/tick collars, topical treatments, and oral medications.

We offer Microchipping & Registration to permanently identify your pet and increase the chances of a safe return if they’re lost. Our microchipping service includes registration with a national pet recovery database, ensuring your contact information is up-to-date and accessible to veterinarians or shelters nationwide.

We provide Parasite Deworming (Intestinal) to eliminate harmful parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms, which can cause gastrointestinal issues, malnutrition, or even zoonotic infections. Deworming is especially critical for puppies, kittens, and pets with outdoor access, and we recommend regular fecal testing to monitor parasite status.

We perform In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to evaluate your pet’s organ function, detect infections, monitor chronic conditions, and assess overall health. Our advanced in-house analyzers provide rapid results, allowing us to address concerns promptly and adjust treatment plans as needed.

Our Urinalysis service helps diagnose urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and other metabolic conditions by examining your pet’s urine for abnormalities. This diagnostic tool is particularly valuable for senior pets, pets with symptoms like increased thirst or frequent urination, and those undergoing wellness or pre-surgical evaluations.

We offer Fecal Testing to screen for intestinal parasites, including roundworms, hookworms, giardia, and coccidia, which can cause diarrhea, weight loss, or other health issues. Regular fecal exams are essential for puppies, kittens, and pets with outdoor exposure, and we provide comprehensive parasite control recommendations based on test results.

Our clinic is equipped with Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose fractures, arthritis, heart disease, dental issues, and abdominal problems. X-rays provide invaluable insights for surgical planning, monitoring chronic conditions, and evaluating injuries, ensuring your pet receives accurate and timely treatment.

We perform Eye Pressure Testing (Glaucoma Screening) using tonometry to detect elevated intraocular pressure, a key indicator of glaucoma—a painful and vision-threatening condition. Early detection allows us to manage the disease and preserve your pet’s vision, especially important for senior pets or breeds predisposed to eye diseases.

Our Blood Pressure Monitoring service helps diagnose and manage hypertension in pets, which can contribute to heart, kidney, and eye diseases. We use non-invasive methods to measure blood pressure during wellness exams or diagnostic workups, allowing us to intervene early and adjust treatment plans to protect your pet’s long-term health.

We provide Spay & Neuter Surgery to prevent unwanted litters, reduce the risk of certain cancers (e.g., mammary tumors, testicular cancer), and eliminate heat cycles or roaming behaviors. All pets must be up-to-date on core vaccinations before surgery, and we prioritize pain management and a safe recovery process for your pet.

We perform Foreign Body Removal surgeries to safely extract ingested or lodged objects (e.g., bones, toys, or debris) from your pet’s digestive tract or other body cavities. Our team uses advanced techniques to minimize tissue damage and prioritize rapid recovery, with postoperative care instructions to monitor for complications.

Our Wound & Laceration Repair services address injuries with precise suturing, cleaning, and infection prevention to promote healing. We use sterile techniques and pain management to ensure your pet’s comfort, with follow-up care to monitor recovery and prevent complications like dehiscence or scarring.

While we refer after-hours emergencies to specialized facilities, we provide Emergency Stabilization during regular hours for acute issues like trauma, poisoning, or severe illness. Our goal is to assess and stabilize your pet quickly, ensuring they receive the critical care needed before further treatment or referral.

We offer comprehensive Pain Management services, including preoperative, postoperative, and chronic pain protocols tailored to your pet’s condition. Our approach may include medications, alternative therapies, and lifestyle adjustments to improve comfort and quality of life, with close monitoring to ensure safety and efficacy.

In cases of Poison & Toxin Treatment, we provide immediate care for ingestions, exposures, or bites that may threaten your pet’s health. Our team follows evidence-based protocols to induce vomiting (when safe), administer antidotes, support organ function, and monitor for complications, often in coordination with emergency specialists.

We provide Medical Grooming services, including Sanitary Shave, Nail Trimming & Dremeling, Anal Gland Expression, and Ear Cleaning & Plucking, to address health concerns like matted fur, overgrown nails, impacted anal glands, or ear infections. These services are performed with your pet’s comfort and safety in mind, often as part of a broader treatment plan.

We provide Quality of Life Assessment consultations to help you evaluate your pet’s comfort, mobility, and overall well-being, especially for senior or terminally ill pets. This discussion guides decisions about hospice care, pain management, or euthanasia, ensuring your pet’s dignity and minimizing suffering during their final stages.
