Shiloh Veterinary Hospital - West

We provide *comprehensive wellness visits* tailored to each pet’s age, species, and unique needs. These exams include thorough health assessments, individualized care plans, and personalized recommendations to ensure lifelong vitality.

Our *comprehensive puppy and kitten wellness programs* begin at 6–8 weeks and include booster vaccinations, deworming, heartworm and flea/tick prevention, and early behavioral training. We educate new pet owners on home care essentials (tooth brushing, ear cleaning, nutrition) to support healthy growth.

While explicitly named as 'Senior Pet' services aren’t described, we emphasize wellness visits for all ages, including detailed screening, blood testing recommendations, and tailored care plans to address age-specific health needs and maximize quality of life.

We administer age-appropriate vaccinations as part of our wellness protocols, including core vaccines per AVMA guidelines. Vaccination schedules are customized to protect pets through all life stages and align with local health regulations.

Heartworm prevention is included in our young puppy programs and is recommended annually for all pets. We offer testing and continuous preventive medications to safeguard against transmission in regional high-risk areas.

All our wellness packages incorporate flea, tick, and parasite prevention. We provide prescription-strength products tailored to local climate concerns and pet lifestyles, ensuring year-round protection.

*While not explicitly mentioned*, we provide registration services as part of pet wellness. During health visits, unchipped pets are offered microchipping and guidance on completing registration for rapid reunification.

As part of our comprehensive exams and wellness planning, we offer professional dietary evaluations, portion guidance, and weight management strategies based on metabolic profiles (e.g., senior, puppy, or breeding-related needs).

We perform routine intestinal deworming during puppy/kitten visits and as part of annual health protocols, using safe and effective medications to target common parasites (e.g., roundworms, hookworms).

Behavioral assessments are included in puppy/kitten care and routine wellness, and our team provides guidance on training, anxiety management, and bonding techniques to improve pet/owner relationships.

Our wellness visits include preemptive bloodwork recommendations—detailed results for CBC and chemistry panels are used to proactively diagnose early-stage illness, manage chronic conditions, and guide age-specific care protocols.

We perform in-hospital digital X-rays as diagnostic tools during wellness exams or as indicated by symptoms (e.g., dental exams, limb injuries). Utilizing advanced imaging aids in early detection of hidden dental concerns, fractures, and systemic diseases.

Our dental care program mandates radiography—up to 50% of dental conditions cannot be detected without radiographs, ensuring thorough evaluation of tooth roots and bone health prior to scaling/polishing or extractions.

Our dental surgery suite is equipped to perform surgical extractions for severe decay, periodontal disease, and fractured teeth. Preoperative pain management and detailed recovery plans are standard for all oral procedures.

As part of our preventive dental care philosophy, we educate pet owners on home oral health routines (brushing techniques, tartar control products, and early detection methods) to complement clinical cleanings.

We offer routine spay/neuter surgeries during puppy/kitten life-stage appointments, adhering to humane surgical practices using experienced surgeons, pain-free recovery options, and comprehensive aftercare instructions.

During business hours, our team stabilizes critical emergency cases through comprehensive diagnostics and therapeutic interventions, including trauma care, toxin exposure treatment, and life-threatening condition stabilization.

Intensive care settings include oxygen supplementation for respiratory distress, cardiac emergencies, or post-surgical support to stabilize patients until underlying conditions are addressed.

Administered pre- and peri-anesthetic protocols, IV fluids are provided for surgical/dental procedures to maintain organ function, blood pressure stability, and optimal recovery in hospitalized or emergently treated pets.

Pain management spans preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care for emergencies, surgeries, and dental work. We use multi-modal therapies (injected, topical, oral) aligned with veterinary consensus guidelines for humane treatment.

As part of our emergency protocols, we treat acute poisonings/toxin exposures, administer supportive therapies, and collaborate with ASPCA/POISON HELPLINE resources for rapid, specialized care when needed.

Grooming procedures like sanitary shaves, anal gland expression, and medicated baths are performed to manage medical skin conditions, post-surgical recovery, or parasite management protocols.

Laser therapy sessions are performed to reduce post-surgical/inflamatory pain, accelerate wound healing, and alleviate joint stiffness—utilizing advanced Class IV lasers for targeted therapeutic effects.

Post-operative and injury-based rehabilitation includes manual therapies, controlled movement exercises, and electrotherapy to improve mobility, strengthen muscle groups, and mitigate chronic pain.

Canine massage services are integrated into rehabilitation packages to boost circulation, reduce muscle spasms, and promote relaxation—crucial for post-surgery, orthopedic, and neurologically compromised patients.

We evaluate and discuss quality-of-life metrics during senior evaluations, integrating factors like mobility, pain tolerance, and activity levels to guide clients on compassionate healthcare decisions for aging pets.
