Walton Way Veterinary Clinic

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams tailored to your pet’s life stage, including breed, age, and environmental factors. These exams help us establish a health baseline, track trends, and detect early signs of illness. During visits, we conduct a full-body assessment and may recommend age-appropriate diagnostics like bloodwork, blood pressure screening, and parasite checks to ensure proactive care.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to kickstart your new pet’s healthy life. These packages include age-appropriate vaccinations, parasite prevention, and foundational wellness exams to monitor growth, development, and early disease detection. Our goal is to set your pet up for a lifetime of health with proper preventative care from day one.

We prioritize Senior Pet Wellness Care with tailored exams and diagnostics to address age-related health concerns. Senior visits may include bloodwork, blood pressure monitoring, and early disease screening to manage conditions like arthritis, diabetes, or organ dysfunction. We adjust care plans to support your pet’s quality of life as they age, ensuring comfort and longevity.

We provide Core Vaccinations for dogs and cats, including protection against rabies, distemper, parvovirus (for dogs), and panleukopenia (for cats). These vaccines are essential for preventing severe, often fatal diseases. We follow AAHA guidelines and customize schedules based on your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors to ensure optimal immunity.

We provide annual Heartworm Testing & Prevention to detect and treat this potentially fatal disease early. Given Augusta’s high heartworm prevalence, we recommend year-round preventive treatments like ProHeart 6 for dogs. For cats, we emphasize prevention, as there is no approved treatment for feline heartworm infections. Customized plans are tailored to your pet’s lifestyle.

We offer Flea & Tick Prevention protocols to protect your pets from parasites that pose serious health risks. Our services include testing, treatment, and preventive medications to keep your pet and household safe. We provide guidance on environmental control and year-round prevention strategies for Augusta’s climate.

We provide Microchipping & Registration as a permanent, cost-effective way to ensure your pet’s safety. Microchips last a lifetime and can be implanted at any age, offering peace of mind in case your pet ever gets lost. We register chips in national databases and provide guidance on keeping contact information up to date.

We include Parasite Deworming as part of our preventative care to eliminate intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. Regular deworming is critical for pets of all ages, especially those with outdoor access or symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, or weight loss. We tailor deworming protocols to your pet’s needs.

We offer Behavioral Counseling to address issues like aggression, anxiety, excessive barking, or house-soiling. Our approach combines medical exams, behavioral assessments, and recommendations for training or medication. We work with you to identify root causes—whether medical, environmental, or learned—and develop solutions to improve your pet’s well-being and your family’s harmony.

We perform In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to monitor your pet’s organ function, detect early diseases, and guide treatment plans. This diagnostic tool is essential for wellness exams, pre-surgical screenings, and managing chronic conditions. Results are available quickly to inform same-day care decisions.

We provide Urinalysis as part of our diagnostic services to evaluate kidney function, detect urinary tract infections, and screen for metabolic diseases like diabetes. This test is often included in wellness exams, especially for senior pets or those showing symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, or straining. Early detection helps prevent serious complications.

We offer Fecal Testing to diagnose intestinal parasites, including giardia and coccidia, which can cause digestive upset or long-term health issues. Testing is recommended during wellness visits, especially for pets with symptoms like diarrhea, weight loss, or a dull coat. We provide treatment and prevention strategies to keep your pet healthy.

We utilize Digital X-Rays (Radiography) for safe, non-invasive imaging to diagnose fractures, foreign objects, tumors, bladder stones, and more. Our state-of-the-art equipment provides clear, detailed images with minimal radiation exposure, even for young or pregnant pets. Digital X-rays enable faster diagnoses and consultations with specialists when needed.

We offer Ultrasound Imaging to create detailed, real-time images of your pet’s internal organs, ideal for detecting abdominal masses, pregnancies, cardiac issues, or bladder/kidney stones. This non-invasive tool complements X-rays and bloodwork, providing critical insights for conditions like organ disease or reproductive health. Ultrasounds are performed by our skilled team for accurate diagnostics.

We provide Blood Pressure Monitoring as part of our cardiac and senior pet care services. High blood pressure can contribute to heart disease, kidney damage, or stroke in pets. We use non-invasive methods to screen for hypertension during wellness exams or cardiac consultations, especially for pets with underlying conditions like diabetes or kidney disease.

We offer EKG / ECG (Heart Monitoring) to evaluate your pet’s heart rhythm and diagnose conditions like arrhythmias, heart enlargement, or congenital defects. EKGs are often performed during cardiac consultations or pre-surgical screenings. Our team partners with board-certified cardiologists (e.g., Dr. Dan Hall from Palmetto Veterinary Cardiology) for advanced cardiac care.

We use Dental X-Rays to detect hidden dental issues like tooth fractures, oral tumors, or root infections that aren’t visible during a visual exam. These radiographs guide treatments like Tooth Extractions or Periodontal Disease Treatment. Early detection through X-rays prevents pain and more extensive procedures down the road.

We perform Tooth Extractions for severely decayed, fractured, or infected teeth to relieve pain and prevent systemic infections. Extractions are done under anesthesia with Dental X-Rays to ensure complete removal of roots. Post-operative care includes pain management and dietary recommendations to promote healing.

We offer Oral Surgery for complex dental procedures, including Tooth Extractions, Periodontal Disease Treatment, and repair of oral tumors. Our team uses advanced techniques and Dental X-Rays to address issues like jaw fractures or severe periodontal disease. We prioritize comfort with anesthesia and post-operative pain management.

We treat Periodontal Disease through Professional Dental Cleaning, Dental X-Rays, and targeted therapies to address gum inflammation, bone loss, and infections. Early intervention includes scaling, polishing, and at-home care education to prevent progression. Advanced cases may require Oral Surgery or antibiotics to restore oral health.

We provide At-Home Dental Care Education to help pet owners maintain their companion’s oral health between professional cleanings. Our team teaches brushing techniques, recommends dental chews, and discusses signs of dental disease to monitor. Proper at-home care extends the time between cleanings and prevents periodontal issues.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery as a routine procedure to prevent unwanted litters and reduce the risk of cancers like mammary tumors or testicular cancer. Our surgeries are performed with strict safety protocols, including pre-operative bloodwork and post-operative monitoring. We also offer alternatives like Soft Paws for cats to avoid declawing while addressing scratching issues.

We specialize in Foreign Body Removal, safely extracting ingested or lodged objects from your pet’s digestive tract or body cavities. Whether it’s a bone fragment, toy, or grass awl, our surgical team uses advanced techniques to remove these hazards while monitoring your pet’s vital signs throughout the procedure and recovery.

We offer Wound & Laceration Repair for injuries sustained from fights, accidents, or outdoor adventures. Our team cleans, disinfects, and sutures wounds while monitoring for infection or complications. We provide post-operative care instructions and follow-up exams to ensure proper healing and comfort.

We perform Bladder Stone Removal (cystotomy) to treat painful urinary blockages or infections caused by stones. Using Digital X-Rays (Radiography) and Ultrasound Imaging, we diagnose and surgically remove stones while addressing underlying causes like diet or metabolism. Post-surgery, we monitor urine output and may prescribe special diets to prevent recurrence.

We provide Cherry Eye Repair, a surgical procedure to correct the prolapse of the gland of the third eyelid (common in dogs). This condition can cause irritation and infection, but our skilled surgeons reposition the gland to restore comfort and function. The procedure is performed with minimal discomfort and includes post-operative care instructions.

We provide comprehensive Pain Management strategies tailored to your pet’s condition, whether post-surgery, due to chronic illness, or injury. Our approach includes medication, physical therapy, and rehabilitation to improve mobility and quality of life. We educate pet owners on recognizing pain signs (e.g., stiffness, changes in behavior) and offer compassionate care to keep pets comfortable.

We offer Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation to help pets recover from surgery, injuries, or chronic conditions like arthritis. Our programs include supervised exercises, hydrotherapy (where available), and pain management to improve mobility and strength. We tailor rehabilitation plans to your pet’s needs, often following surgeries like Orthopedic Surgery or Neurologic Surgery.

We issue Domestic Travel Certificates for pets traveling within the U.S., whether for boarding, shows, or relocation. These certificates verify your pet’s health status and vaccinations, meeting the requirements of kennels, airlines, or other facilities. Our team ensures all paperwork is accurate and up to date for hassle-free travel.

We offer Quality of Life Assessment consultations to help pet owners evaluate their companion’s well-being, especially in end-of-life care. Using tools like the HHHHHMM scale, we discuss pain levels, mobility, appetite, and happiness to guide decisions about treatment, comfort, or euthanasia. Our goal is to ensure your pet’s dignity and quality of life.
