Animal Hospital of Pataskala

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams at every wellness visit to assess your pet’s overall health, identify early signs of illness, and develop personalized care plans tailored to their needs. Our veterinarians conduct detailed head-to-tail evaluations, including organ function checks, mobility assessment, and early disease detection.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to immunize, deworm, and monitor young pets as they grow, including vaccinations for diseases like Distemper, Parvo, Rabies, and Leptospirosis. The packages include frequent check-ups (every 3–4 weeks starting at 6–8 weeks) to ensure proper development and protection.

We prioritize Senior Pet Wellness Care, offering tailored wellness exams, geriatric bloodwork, and screening for age-related conditions like arthritis, organ dysfunction, and chronic diseases. Our goal is to optimize quality of life and detect early warning signs with annual or bi-annual senior-specific care plans.

We provide essential Core Vaccinations, including Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo, to protect your pet from severe and often life-threatening diseases. Vaccination schedules are customized based on age, lifestyle, and risk factors, with puppies receiving a series of shots until 14–16 weeks old to build immunity.

We include Heartworm Testing & Prevention in all wellness programs, with annual or semi-annual tests to detect infection early. Prevention medications are prescribed year-round to safeguard your pet, especially in heartworm-endemic regions, with options for oral or topical treatments.

Our team provides Flea & Tick Prevention solutions, including topical treatments, oral medications, and environmental products to eliminate parasites and break their life cycles. We assess your pet’s risk and recommend year-round prevention or seasonal treatments as needed.

We offer Microchipping & Registration using HomeAgain’s permanent ID system to increase the chances of reuniting lost pets with their families. The quick, painless procedure implants a microchip (smaller than a grain of rice) between the shoulder blades, linked to your updated contact information.

Through Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management, we assess your pet’s dietary needs, recommend high-quality food brands, and create personalized feeding plans to address obesity, allergies, or dietary deficiencies. Follow-up consultations ensure your pet maintains a healthy weight for longevity.

As part of puppy/kitten care and routine wellness, we perform Parasite Deworming (Intestinal) to eliminate internal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. Deworming is typically administered every 1–3 months or as recommended based on fecal testing and risk exposure.

We provide Behavioral Counseling for common issues like aggression, anxiety, or nuisance behaviors (e.g., excessive barking), using positive reinforcement techniques and owner education. Sessions are hands-on, with follow-up instructions to reinforce training at home for long-term success.

Our clinic performs In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to diagnose illnesses, monitor chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, kidney disease), and evaluate pre-surgical health. Fast results allow for timely treatment adjustments, often on the same day as the exam.

We conduct Urinalysis as part of wellness and diagnostic exams to screen for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, or crystals. This non-invasive test helps us detect early signs of disease and adjust treatment plans promptly to preserve organ function.

Fecal Testing is included in our wellness services to check for intestinal parasites (e.g., giardia, coccidia) and digestive issues. Samples are analyzed in-house or via lab partners, with deworming recommended based on findings to ensure your pet’s gastrointestinal health.

Our practice utilizes Digital X-Rays (Radiography) for diagnostics, including bone fractures, cancer screening, organ evaluation, and foreign object detection. Digital imaging provides instant results, enabling faster diagnosis and treatment planning for conditions like arthritis or tumors.

We offer Ultrasound Imaging through in-house consultations with a visiting ultrasonographer. This advanced diagnostic tool evaluates abdominal/organ health, identifies fluid buildup, or guides procedures like fine-needle aspirations, with specialist interpretations available for complex cases.

Dental X-Rays are included in comprehensive cleanings to detect hidden oral issues like tooth-root abscesses, fractures, or early-stage decay. Early identification allows us to recommend treatments (e.g., extractions or root canals) or preventive care to maintain dental health.

For severely damaged or diseased teeth, we perform Tooth Extractions using techniques to minimize discomfort and risk. Post-operative care instructions are provided to support healing, and advanced cases (e.g., root canals) may be referred to veterinary dental specialists for optimal care.

We provide Spay & Neuter Surgery to prevent unplanned litters and reduce health risks like mammary tumors, pyometria, or prostate issues. Procedures are performed with pain management, monitored recovery, and follow-up care to ensure a smooth healing process for your pet.

We treat Wound & Laceration Repair with careful cleaning, stitching, and wound management to prevent infection and promote healing. Post-surgical care instructions and bandaging options are personalized to your pet’s needs, with 24/7 monitoring for emergency cases.

For emergencies like toxin exposure or trauma, we provide immediate Emergency Stabilization, including IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and diagnostic testing to identify and treat life-threatening conditions. Referrals to 24/7 emergency hospitals (e.g., MedVet Columbus) are coordinated if specialized care is needed.

For overnight care, we provide Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for pets requiring intensive treatment (e.g., post-surgery, chronic illness management, or emergency stabilization). Our team ensures continuous patient observation, medication administration, and comfort during recovery.

IV Fluid Therapy is administered for dehydration, illness, or post-surgery care to restore hydration and stabilize your pet’s electrolytes. Fluids are delivered with constant monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness, often in conjunction with other treatments like pain management.

We implement Pain Management protocols for surgical patients or chronic conditions using medications, cold laser therapy, or supplements tailored to your pet’s needs. Preemptive pain control is prioritized during procedures, with follow-up assessments to ensure optimal comfort.

We offer Cold Laser Therapy (Class 4) to accelerate wound healing, reduce pain/inflammation, and manage conditions like ear infections or orthopedic issues. Sessions are painless, with pets experiencing a warm, relaxing sensation, and treatments can be repeated daily or weekly based on clinical recommendations.
