Hempfield Animal Hospital

We provide Comprehensive Physical Exams to assess your pet’s overall health, identify early signs of disease, and monitor changes over time. Our exams include evaluations of weight, dental health, mobility, and vital signs while offering opportunities to discuss any concerns. Routine wellness exams are the foundation of preventive care and help maximize your pet’s quality of life.

We offer Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages tailored to new adopted pets, starting with a detailed health exam to evaluate growth, parasite status, and age-appropriate immunization needs (Core Vaccinations). All young pets receive deworming (Intestinal Parasite Deworming) and parasite prevention recommendations as part of their wellness plan, ensuring a healthy start to life.

Our clinic provides Core Vaccinations, including immunizations for Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo, to protect puppies, kittens, and adult pets from life-threatening diseases. During Comprehensive Physical Exams, we tailor vaccine protocols based on your pet’s lifestyle, age, and health status to ensure optimal protection.

We conduct Heartworm Testing annually and provide prevention treatments to safeguard pets against mosquito-borne heartworm disease. These tests and medications are recommended during every wellness exam and are critical for pets in areas like Pennsylvania, where heartworm is prevalent.

Our clinic offers Flea & Tick Prevention programs to protect pets from parasites, which can cause discomfort, spread diseases (Lyme disease), and lead to secondary infections. We supply flea/tick preventatives during Comprehensive Exams and online via our pharmacy (Online Pharmacy & Prescription Refills).

We provide personalized Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services to address dietary needs, obesity, or medical conditions requiring specialized diets (e.g., kidney disease, allergies). Our team recommends prescription diets (e.g., Purina VetDirect) and monitors progress through wellness exams to ensure optimal health.

During Puppy & Kitten Exams and wellness visits, we perform Parasite Deworming for intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, hookworms) and fecal testing (Fecal Testing) to assess parasitic loads. Deworming is a standard part of preventive care to protect pets from discomfort and zoonotic risks.

We perform In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to diagnose conditions like diabetes, liver/kidney disease, and infections. Senior pets and those with chronic illnesses often require these tests during exams to guide treatment decisions.

Our Fecal Testing service, conducted during wellness and puppy/kitten exams, microscopically examines stool samples for egg parasites (e.g., giardia, coccidia). This allows early detection and treatment to prevent gastrointestinal issues and improve health outcomes.

We offer Digital X-Rays for diagnostics like broken bones, dental disease (Dental X-Rays), and internal organ evaluations (e.g., heart, abdomen). Our on-site radiography provides same-day results, helping us discuss findings with you and develop tailored treatment plans.

Our clinic uniquely provides Ultrasound Imaging to examine abdominal organs (e.g., heart, liver, spleen) without off-site referrals. This non-invasive tool aids in diagnosing conditions like bladder stones (Bladder Stone Removal), tumors, and pregnancy monitoring.

As part of our Dental Services, we take Dental X-Rays to diagnose hidden dental problems (e.g., root fractures, abscesses) beneath the gum line. These images guide treatments like Tooth Extractions or Periodontal Disease Treatment to ensure comprehensive oral care.

We perform Tooth Extractions for damaged, diseased, or abscessed teeth identified during Dental Cleaning or radiographic evaluations. This procedure is often paired with Digital X-Rays to plan safe and effective extractions, preventing future pain or infections.

Our clinic handles Oral Surgery, including complex extractions and mandibular fractures, using advanced techniques to minimize pet discomfort. Procedures are typically combined with Professional Dental Cleaning and Dental X-Rays to address underlying issues.

We treat Periodontal Disease through scaling, RootPlan, and addressing underlying causes like bacterial infections. Early detection via Dental X-Rays allows us to manage gingivitis and save teeth that might otherwise require extraction.

In addition to professional cleanings, we offer At-Home Dental Care Education to pet owners, including dental-friendly diet recommendations, tooth-brushing techniques, and oral health monitoring. This complements our Professional Dental Cleaning services to maintain long-term oral health.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery using advanced pain management and anesthesia protocols to ensure pet comfort and reduce risks. These procedures help prevent reproductive diseases, behavioral issues, and contribute to longer lifespans.

Our Foreign Body Removal surgeries address ingested objects or wounds (e.g., Wound & Laceration Repair) identified via Digital X-Rays or clinical signs. Early intervention prevents complications like perforations or obstruction.

We provide C-Sections for maternal or fetal distress during whelping, along with neonatal care and vaccination recommendations for new litters. Pre-surgery In-House Bloodwork ensures safe anesthetic administration for the mother.

We treat Wound & Laceration Repair with advanced suturing techniques, IV catheterization, and Pain Management when needed. Wounds are cleaned, debrided, and monitored for infection during recovery visits.

Detected via Ultrasound Imaging, we surgically remove Bladder Stones to relieve obstructions and prevent urinary infections. Post-op care includes IV Fluid Therapy to promote kidney function and reduce recurring stone formation.

With minimal surgical interventions, we repair Cherry Eye (prolapsed gland of the third eyelid) to prevent chronic inflammation or infection. We monitor patients post-surgery for complications using Ophthalmology-focused exams.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy during all surgical procedures and critical care cases (e.g., post-Bladder Stone Removal) to maintain hydration, blood pressure, and organ function. IV access is also established for emergency medication delivery.

Our Pain Management protocols include pre-surgical pain medications (Lifestyle Vaccinations/Anesthesiology), intra-op techniques, and long-lasting injectables for post-op care (e.g., Laser Therapy, Oral Surgery). We tailor pain relief to the severity of procedures like Spay/Neuter or Dental Extractions.

Although not our primary focus, we incorporate aspects of Medical Grooming like Sanitary Shave (pre-natal or skin condition care) and Medical Baths during treatment for dermatitis or allergies. This complements our Dermatology services.

We offer Sanitary Shave services to maintain hygiene in pets with Anal Gland Expression needs (e.g., those with impacted glands or skin infections). This reduces irritation and complements our diagnostic testing.

Basic Nail Trimming & Dremeling is performed during wellness exams or grooming-related visits, though we focus more on therapeutic procedures like Medical Grooming for medical conditions.

Our Anal Gland Expression service addresses impactions or abscessed anal glands, often noted during Comprehensive Exams. We offer in-clinic care to relieve discomfort and may recommend dietary adjustments (Nutritional Counseling) for recurrence prevention.

Our Cold Laser Therapy alleviates pain (e.g., arthritis), speeds healing (Laser Surgery post-op recovery), and treats inflammation without drugs. Sessions are scheduled post-diagnostics and combined with Rehabilitation Therapy for chronic conditions.

We provide Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation for post-surgical patients (e.g., Orthopedic Surgery) and pets with chronic pain or injuries. Services include underwater treadmill therapy (Hydrotherapy) and targeted stretches to restore mobility.

Our Hydrotherapy (Underwater Treadmill) supports Physical Therapy for Orthopedic/Neurologic Surgery patients or active-recovery pets. The buoyancy reduces joint stress while improving muscle strength and circulation.

Massage Therapy complements other Physical Therapy modalities post-surgery or for pets with tension/mobility issues (e.g., geriatric pets). Sessions focus on reducing pain and aiding recovery after diagnostics (Comprehensive Physical Exam).

We provide Quality of Life Assessments during senior or chronically ill pet consultations, using tools like Pain Management and Geriatric Exams to evaluate symptoms and comfort. These assessments guide discussions about ongoing care or end-of-life planning.

We refer clients to reputable services like Till We Meet Again and Lap of Love for At-Home Euthanasia, ensuring continuity of care during end-of-life journeys. Our team supports families by providing grief resources and follow-up consultations.

As a supplementary service, we provide Telemedicine Consultations for minor ailments, prescription reviews, or progress updates post-care. These virtual visits are booked directly through our office or VetSource portal.
