Northern Rhode Island Animal Hospital, A Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner

We provide thorough nose-to-tail Comprehensive Physical Exams to ensure your pet’s optimal health, covering everything from organ function and mobility to skin, teeth, and coat. Our exams assess weight, movement, pain, and even update microchip registrations. Prevention and early detection are key priorities in every wellness visit.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages tailored to your new pet’s developmental needs, including routine vaccinations, deworming, and parasite control. Our packages also emphasize early socialization, nutrition guidance, and age-specific health screenings to set your pet up for a lifetime of wellness.

For senior pets (typically 7+ years old), we provide dedicated Senior Pet Wellness Care with twice-yearly exams, geriatric bloodwork, and tailored health assessments. We monitor organ function, mobility, and age-related conditions like arthritis or dental disease to ensure comfort and longevity in their golden years.

We administer all Core Vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Parvo, etc.) as part of our preventive care program. Safety and immunity are our top concerns, and we follow AAHA/AVMA guidelines to determine age-appropriate vaccination schedules for your pet. Rabies vaccinations are often required by law.

We provide annual Heartworm Testing & Prevention through blood screenings and medication plans. Heartworm disease can be fatal, and our program includes preventive doses year-round—even for indoor pets—to safeguard against mosquito-borne transmission.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention services include monthly medications, environmental treatments, and personalized plans to combat infestations. We recommend year-round prevention to protect your pet from allergic reactions, disease transmission (e.g., Lyme), and secondary infections.

We implant durable Microchips during exams and verify their registration in national databases for permanent identification. Lost pets with updated contact details have a higher chance of reunion—we also provide scanner checks to ensure microchips are functional at every visit.

Through Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management, we assess your pet’s diet, weight trends, and breed-specific needs. Whether adjusting portions, diagnosing obesity, or recommending therapeutic diets, we work with you to optimize your pet’s health through diet—from puppy to senior years.

We perform Parasite Deworming for intestinal parasites (roundworms, hookworms, etc.) during exams or as part of wellness packages. Regular fecal testing and deworming schedules keep your pet and household safe, especially for young pets with developing immune systems.

Our clinic performs In-House Bloodwork (CBC, Chemistry Panels) using state-of-the-art equipment to detect early signs of illness, diabetes, kidney/liver disease, and more. Fast results guide treatment plans and help us monitor chronic conditions or presurgical safety.

We offer Urinalysis to screen for urinary tract infections, crystals, sugar (diabetes), or blood abnormalities. This diagnostic tool is often paired with bloodwork for senior pets or those showing symptoms like straining to urinate—early detection saves discomfort and complications.

As part of routine preventive care, we perform Fecal Testing to screen for intestinal parasites (e.g., giardia, whipworms) and ensure your pet’s digestive system stays healthy. Testing is quick, non-invasive, and can be done annually or as needed during exams.

We use Digital X-Rays to diagnose fractures, heart/lung conditions, dental disease, and internal abnormalities like bladder stones. Our equipment captures high-resolution images to support accurate diagnoses—whether for acute injuries or monitoring chronic issues like arthritis.

We perform Tooth Extractions for diseased, fractured, or crowded teeth during dental procedures under anesthesia. Extractions are necessary to relieve pain, prevent infections, and maintain oral health—following extractions, we provide comprehensive aftercare to ensure smooth healing.

Our Spay & Neuter Surgery services are performed in sterile surgical suites with advanced monitoring by certified technicians. These procedures reduce disease risks (e.g., mammary cancer, prostate issues), prevent unwanted litters, and improve overall lifespan and temperament of your pet.

If your pet ingests or inhales foreign objects (e.g., toys, bones, strings), we perform Foreign Body Removal via endoscopy or surgery to prevent perforations or obstruction. Early action is critical—prompt diagnostics (like X-rays) help us plan the safest intervention.

Wound & Laceration Repair is provided for cuts, torn nails, or traumatic injuries using sterile techniques and tailored suture patterns. We clean wounds thoroughly to prevent infections and offer follow-up checks to monitor healing progress and address any concerns.

Diagnosed via X-rays or ultrasound, Bladder Stone Removal is performed through cystotomy surgery when medical dissolution fails. Our team manages pre- and postoperative care to minimize discomfort and help your pet recover quickly, often including dietary recommendations to prevent recurrence.

During critical emergencies (e.g., trauma, poisoning, sudden paralysis), we provide Emergency Stabilization with intravenous fluids, oxygen therapy, and rapid diagnostics to address life-threatening conditions. Our goal is to restore vital signs before transferring to specialty care if needed.

For pets requiring Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring, we offer intensive care with constant observation, IV fluids, medication administration, and comfort measures. Whether recovering from surgery or managing chronic illnesses, our dedicated staff ensures around-the-clock attention.

We provide Oxygen Therapy for pets with respiratory distress, trauma, or anesthesia recovery needs. Our oxygen cages deliver precise concentrations to improve oxygen saturation and reduce stress, with continuous monitoring by our veterinary team.

IV Fluid Therapy is essential for dehydration, shock, surgery support, or kidney disease. We administer fluids via catheters with electrolytes tailored to your pet’s needs, and monitor closely for stabilization or other therapy adjustments.

Our Pain Management protocols include multimodal medications (oral, injectable, or topical) for postoperative pain, arthritis, or chronic conditions. We prioritize your pet’s comfort by assessing pain levels regularly and adjusting treatments to improve quality of life.

If your pet ingests or contacts poisons (e.g., chocolate, lilies, antifreeze, rodenticide), we administer Poison & Toxin Treatment ranging from activated charcoal to IV supports. Prompt action increases survival rates—contact us immediately if exposure is suspected.

For pets with medical conditions (e.g., skin infections, mobility issues), we provide Medical Grooming services like medicated baths, bandage management, and specialized care. This ensures their hygiene and comfort without exacerbating underlying health concerns.

Our veterinarians perform Quality of Life Assessments to evaluate your senior pet’s comfort, mobility, appetite, and pain levels. This discussion helps guide decisions about treatment, palliative care, or compassionate end-of-life options based on your pet’s needs and your values.
