Best Friends Veterinary Hospital

We provide detailed Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages and species, including dogs, cats, and exotic animals. Our thorough nose-to-tail examinations evaluate overall health, detect early signs of illness, and address any concerns during your pet’s well-being checkup—tailored to every life stage, from puppies/kitten to senior pets.

Our Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages include core exams, age-appropriate vaccinations (such as Distemper, Parvo, FVRCP, and Rabies), and fecal testing to ensure your young pet grows strong, healthy, and protected. We also offer Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management to support optimal development.

We prioritize Senior Pet Wellness Care with semi-annual exams (recommended every 6 months for pets 7+ years), bloodwork (CBC, Chemistry Panels, and thyroid/liver/kidney function monitoring), and heart disease screenings. Senior care includes tailored vaccine updates, pain management, and preventive strategies to enhance their golden years.

We offer Core Vaccinations such as Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo for dogs and FVRCP (including Distemper equivalent) for cats, following AAAH guidelines. These vaccinations are essential for preventing deadly diseases and are included in our wellness and puppy/kitten protocols.

Annual Heartworm Testing is part of our adult dog wellness protocol. We also offer year-round prevention programs to protect your pet from this deadly parasite, including testing for tick-borne vectors that may coexist with heartworm disease.

We recommend and provide Flea & Tick Prevention protocols during wellness visits, customized for your pet’s breed, lifestyle, and local pest prevalence. Prevention is a key component of our parasite control strategy.

We offer Microchipping & Registration during wellness visits for a permanent, life-saving ID. Our process includes registering the microchip to your contact information in national databases, ensuring your pet can be returned if lost.

Our team provides personalized Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management plans during wellness exams, addressing dietary needs for life stages, health conditions, or weight concerns. We recommend balanced diets and supplements to optimize your pet’s health.

We perform Parasite Deworming (Intestinal) as part of routine care, including fecal testing to detect parasites like roundworms or hookworms. Deworming treatments are included in our puppy/kitten and adult wellness protocols.

Our hospital offers In-House Bloodwork services, including CBC (Complete Blood Count) and Chemistry Panels, to monitor organ function, detect early diseases, and guide treatment plans. Seniors and pets with chronic conditions benefit from regular screening.

We provide Urinalysis to evaluate kidney function, urinary tract health, and infections. This diagnostic tool is often recommended during senior exams or if your pet shows signs of urinary distress.

We offer Fecal Testing for parasite detection (e.g., worms, giardia) as part of routine wellness exams, especially for puppies, kittens, and pets showing digestive symptoms. Testing informs deworming and preventive strategies.

Our hospital uses Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose issues like fractures, arthritis, tumors, foreign bodies, or organ abnormalities. Digital technology provides clear images with minimal radiation exposure for rapid, accurate evaluations.

Ultrasound Imaging is available at our Crossville location to assess abdominal organs and cardiac function in real time. This non-invasive tool helps diagnose issues like fluid buildup, reproductive concerns, or heart conditions.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery for dogs and cats, reducing risks of cancer, unplanned litters, and health issues. Our surgical protocols follow strict safety standards, with pre/post-operative care to ensure smooth recovery.

We handle Foreign Body Removal surgeries when pets ingest or lodge objects (e.g., toys, bones). Our team employs Digital X-Rays to locate foreign bodies and performs safe surgical extraction.

We offer Bladder Stone Removal through minimally invasive or surgical methods, often confirmed with Digital X-Rays or ultrasound. Post-operative care includes Urinalysis and dietary adjustments to prevent recurrence.

We provide Emergency Stabilization for critical situations, including IV Fluid Therapy, Pain Management, Oxygen Therapy, and poisoning/toxin treatments. Our 24-hour monitoring ensures pets receive immediate, life-saving care.

We provide Oxygen Therapy for pets experiencing respiratory distress, post-anesthesia, or during emergency stabilization. Oxygen supplementation supports recovery and stabilizes critical conditions.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy for dehydration, surgery, or illness to maintain hydration and electrolyte balance. This therapy is often part of our Emergency Stabilization and hospitalization protocols.

Our team offers Pain Management strategies to improve comfort during and after procedures, chronic conditions, or injuries. We discuss appropriate medications and alternatives tailored to your pet’s needs.

For Poison & Toxin Treatment, we provide immediate intervention, including induction of vomiting (if safe), IV fluids, and supportive care. Early action maximizes recovery chances for toxic ingestions.

We provide Quality of Life Assessment for senior or chronically ill pets, evaluating pain levels, mobility, and comfort. These discussions help guide compassionate care decisions with your pet’s well-being as the priority.

We provide Telemedicine Consultations for minor concerns, prescription refills, or follow-ups. This service offers flexibility while ensuring your pet’s health needs are addressed promptly.
