Fort Washington Veterinary Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages to assess overall health, detect early signs of illness, and monitor chronic conditions. Our exams include evaluations of weight, temperature, eyes, ears, teeth, heart, lungs, abdomen, muscles, joints, and lymph nodes.

We offer tailored Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to ensure your new pet starts life on the right foot. These packages include vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, spay/neuter consultations, and nutritional guidance for optimal growth and development.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care program is designed to address the unique needs of aging pets (dogs over 8 years, cats over 10). We recommend twice-yearly exams, advanced bloodwork, and personalized care plans to maintain mobility, comfort, and quality of life.

We administer Core Vaccinations such as Rabies, Distemper, and Parvovirus to protect your pet from serious diseases. Rabies vaccination is legally required in Pennsylvania for all pets, while Distemper and Parvo vaccines are critical for dogs.

We provide annual Heartworm Testing and prevention programs to safeguard your pet against this deadly parasite. Early detection and preventive medications are key to protecting your dog from heartworm disease, which can be fatal if untreated.

Our clinic offers Flea & Tick Prevention treatments tailored to your pet’s needs. We provide monthly preventatives and recommend year-round protection to keep your pet comfortable and free from parasites that can cause skin irritation or transmit diseases.

Our in-house laboratory provides In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to diagnose illnesses early. These tests help us monitor organ function, detect infections, and assess overall health during wellness or senior exams.

We perform Urinalysis as part of our diagnostic services to evaluate kidney function, detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), and identify other metabolic conditions. This test is particularly valuable for senior pets or those showing signs of bladder issues.

We offer Fecal Testing to screen for intestinal parasites, including giardia and coccidia. Bringing a fecal sample during your pet’s wellness exam allows us to provide targeted deworming treatments if needed.

Our clinic is equipped with Digital X-Rays for advanced diagnostic imaging. We use radiography to examine bones, joints, organs, and internal structures, helping us diagnose fractures, tumors, heart or lung conditions, and dental disease.

During dental cleanings or exams, we take Dental X-Rays to identify hidden problems like tooth root infections, bone loss, or abscesses. These images allow us to treat issues that aren’t visible during a standard oral examination.

We perform Tooth Extractions when necessary due to severe decay, disease, or trauma. Our veterinarians use advanced techniques and anesthesia to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety during the procedure.

Our clinic treats Periodontal Disease, which affects up to 80% of pets by age three. We offer scaling, root planing, and medications to manage gum disease and prevent tooth loss.

We provide Spay & Neuter Surgery to help control pet populations, reduce health risks like cancer, and prevent unwanted behaviors. These procedures are performed with sterile techniques and comprehensive post-operative care.

We provide Nail Trimming & Dremeling to keep your pet’s nails at a safe length, reducing the risk of discomfort or injury. Our technicians use careful techniques to avoid cutting into the quick.

We perform Anal Gland Expression for pets experiencing discomfort due to impacted anal glands. This procedure helps relieve pain and prevent infections, which are common in dogs with digestive issues or obesity.

Our certified veterinary acupuncturist, Dr. Berman, offers Acupuncture to treat pain, inflammation, and chronic conditions like arthritis or gastrointestinal issues. This non-invasive therapy promotes healing using traditional Chinese medicine techniques.

We provide Cold Laser Therapy, a non-invasive treatment that reduces pain, inflammation, and speeds up wound healing. This FDA-approved therapy is safe for pets of all ages and can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results.
