Kutztown Animal Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for all pets to establish a baseline for their health and detect early signs of illness. Our exams include a full nose-to-tail assessment, history review, and tailored recommendations for ongoing care. Regular wellness visits are key to maintaining optimal health, especially for senior pets or those with underlying conditions.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to ensure your new pet starts life on the right foot. Our packages include vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, spay/neuter counseling, nutritional guidance, and behavioral/socialization advice. We’re committed to helping you raise a healthy, well-adjusted companion.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on proactive health management for pets aged 7 and older. We recommend biannual exams, bloodwork, and diagnostic testing (like In-House Bloodwork and Digital X-Rays) to monitor organ function, detect early disease, and adjust care plans. We prioritize pain management, mobility support, and quality-of-life assessments.

We provide essential Core Vaccinations (including Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo) to protect your pet from life-threatening diseases. Vaccination protocols are tailored to your pet’s lifestyle, region-specific risks, and age. Our team will discuss the benefits and schedule required boosters to ensure long-term immunity.

We emphasize Heartworm Testing & Prevention as a critical part of parasite control. Annual testing is recommended for all dogs, even those on preventative medication, to ensure early detection. Our clinic provides year-round prevention plans, including oral and topical treatments, to safeguard your pet’s heart and lungs.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention programs include monthly medications, environmental treatments, and personalized plans based on your pet’s exposure risk. We address both external parasites and the diseases they transmit (e.g., Lyme, Ehrlichia) to keep your pet comfortable and healthy year-round.

We offer Microchipping & Registration as a safe, permanent way to ensure your pet’s return if lost. The procedure is quick, painless, and performed during routine visits. We register chips in national databases and provide guidance on keeping contact information updated to maximize retrieval chances.

Our Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services help address obesity and dietary needs through personalized plans. We assess your pet’s weight, activity level, and health status to recommend balanced diets, portion control, and supplements (e.g., glucosamine for joint health). Obesity prevention is a cornerstone of long-term wellness.

We provide Parasite Deworming for intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms, which can cause gastrointestinal issues or zoonotic diseases. Deworming is often included in puppy/kitten care and recommended annually or as needed for adult pets, especially those with outdoor access.

Through Behavioral Counseling, we address common issues like anxiety, aggression, or house training by assessing triggers and recommending solutions (e.g., environmental modifications, training techniques, or medication). Our team collaborates with certified behaviorists for complex cases to improve your pet’s quality of life.

Our clinic performs In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to diagnose conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, or infections. Rapid results allow us to adjust treatment plans promptly, whether for wellness exams, pre-surgery screenings, or monitoring chronic illnesses.

We utilize Digital X-Rays for advanced diagnostics, including bone fractures, arthritis, foreign objects, or organ abnormalities. Our state-of-the-art radiography provides immediate, high-quality images to support accurate diagnoses and treatment planning, from orthopedic issues to dental disease.

Our Spay & Neuter Surgery services are performed with sterile techniques and pain management to ensure safety and comfort. These procedures reduce health risks (e.g., cancers, infections) and help control the pet population. We offer pre-surgical bloodwork and post-op care instructions for a smooth recovery.

In emergencies, we offer Emergency Stabilization to address critical conditions like poisoning, trauma, or collapse. Our team provides IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and pain management to stabilize pets before advanced diagnostics or referral. We work closely with 24-hour emergency clinics for severe cases.

For pets requiring overnight care, we offer Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring with dedicated staff, IV therapy, and continuous observation. Our hospital ward is equipped to manage chronic illnesses, post-surgical recovery, or acute conditions, ensuring compassionate, around-the-clock support.

Our Pain Management services include pharmaceutical options (e.g., NSAIDs, steroids, injectable glucosamine) and non-invasive therapies like Cold Laser Therapy to alleviate arthritis, post-surgical discomfort, or chronic pain. We tailor treatments to your pet’s condition and monitor for side effects.

We offer Cold Laser Therapy as a non-invasive, drug-free treatment to reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, and manage pain from conditions like arthritis, injuries, or post-surgical recovery. Sessions are gentle and effective, with multiple studies supporting its benefits for mobility and comfort.

We offer Quality of Life Assessments to evaluate your senior or chronically ill pet’s comfort, mobility, and happiness. Using tools like the HHHHHMM scale, we help you make informed decisions about treatment options, pain management, or end-of-life care tailored to your pet’s needs.
