Cherokee Hospital for Animals

We offer comprehensive physical exams for pets as part of our wellness care program. Our veterinarians perform nose-to-tail examinations to assess your pet's overall health and detect potential issues early. These exams form the foundation of our preventative care approach.

We provide heartworm testing and prevention services for dogs and cats. Our team recommends starting heartworm prevention at the first puppy visit and continuing monthly throughout your pet's life. We perform blood tests to detect heartworms as early as 6 months after infection.

We offer flea and tick prevention solutions including topical treatments, oral medications, and collars. Our veterinarians help you select the perfect preventative based on your pet's lifestyle and risk factors to protect them from these parasites year-round.

We provide microchipping services to ensure the safety and well-being of pets. The microchip is registered immediately upon implantation, providing permanent identification that can be scanned by veterinarians or shelters to retrieve your contact information.

We provide nutritional counseling and weight management services to help pets maintain optimal health. Our veterinarians assess your pet's dietary needs, recommend appropriate foods, and create personalized plans to address weight concerns or chronic conditions.

We offer behavioral counseling to address pet behavior concerns. Our team works with owners to understand and manage issues through training techniques, environmental adjustments, and tailored strategies to improve pet behavior and strengthen the human-animal bond.

We utilize digital radiography technology to produce precise images of your pet's internal structures. This advanced system offers faster imaging, higher resolution, and the ability to store and share images electronically for specialist consultations.

We provide ultrasound imaging as a non-invasive diagnostic tool. Our veterinarians use ultrasound to visualize internal organs in real-time, enabling accurate diagnosis of conditions like pregnancies, abdominal issues, and heart abnormalities without sedation in most cases.

We offer allergy testing services to identify environmental or food-related allergens affecting your pet. This helps us develop effective treatment plans including avoidance strategies or immunotherapy to manage allergic reactions and improve your pet's comfort.

We provide eye pressure testing for glaucoma screening as part of our ophthalmology services. This quick, non-invasive test helps detect early signs of glaucoma which can prevent vision loss if treated promptly.

We offer blood pressure monitoring to assess cardiovascular health in pets. This service helps identify hypertension which can be an indicator of underlying systemic conditions requiring medical attention.

We provide EKG/ECG heart monitoring services to evaluate your pet's cardiac function. This non-invasive test records the heart's electrical activity to detect arrhythmias or other heart conditions requiring medical management.

We perform tooth extractions for pets with severely damaged or infected teeth. Under anesthesia our veterinarians safely remove problematic teeth to alleviate pain and prevent the spread of infection to other parts of the body.

We treat periodontal disease through comprehensive dental care including professional cleanings, antibiotic therapy when needed, and home care instructions. Early intervention prevents tooth loss and systemic health complications associated with gum disease.

We provide spay and neuter surgery services to prevent unwanted litters and provide significant health benefits. These routine procedures are performed with careful pre-operative planning and post-operative pain management to ensure your pet's safety and comfort.
