Acton Animal Hospital

We perform thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for dogs of all ages to monitor overall health, detect early signs of illness, and address concerns promptly. Our exams include assessments of weight, dental health, organ function, and mobility, with recommendations for further diagnostics or preventive care as needed.

We provide comprehensive Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to ensure your new pet starts life on the right paw. Our tailored packages include initial wellness exams, core vaccinations, parasite prevention plans, and essential health checks to set the foundation for a long, healthy life. We also offer guidance on nutrition, socialization, and training to support both you and your growing pet.

We specialize in Senior Pet Wellness Care, offering customized plans for pets aged 7+ that include senior-specific bloodwork, joint supplements, cancer screenings, dental care, and early disease detection. Our goal is to enhance comfort, manage chronic conditions, and extend active, happy years with supportive therapies like Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management.

We administer Core Vaccinations to protect your cat from life-threatening diseases such as Rabies (a legally required vaccine), Distemper (a fatal respiratory and neurological disease), and Parvo (a highly contagious and often deadly viral infection). These vaccines are essential for kittens and adults, ensuring comprehensive immunity while following recommended vaccination schedules.

While the page does not explicitly mention 'Heartworm Testing & Prevention,' Acton Animal Hospital emphasizes preventing heartworm disease (a serious, often fatal condition) through Core & Lifestyle Vaccinations and preventative treatments. We annually test dogs for heartworm antibodies and prescribe FDA-approved preventatives to protect at-risk pets, especially those in the Texas region.

We offer Flea & Tick Prevention services tailored to your dog’s needs, including prescription-strength medications, topical treatments, and oral preventatives to protect against parasites year-round. Our team guides you in choosing the most effective option based on lifestyle, risk factors (like outdoor exposure), and the latest veterinary recommendations to safeguard your pet’s health.

We provide Microchipping & Registration to ensure your dog has a permanent identification in case they go missing. Our quick, safe procedure involves implanting a microchip under the skin, with lifelong registration to our national pet recovery database. We also verify and update your contact information during visits to maximize the chances of reuniting with your pet.

While not explicitly detailed in the webpage, Acton Animal Hospital likely provides Behavioral Counseling for common issues (e.g., anxiety, aggression, separation distress) through consultations, owner education, and recommendations for training resources. We can bridge gaps via collaborations with certified behaviorists or telemedicine options.

Our clinic utilizes Digital X-Rays to diagnose fractures, dental issues, heart/lung conditions, and foreign objects. We prioritize low-radiation imaging and provide real-time results to guide treatment plans, including surgeries or advanced diagnostics like ultrasounds or CT scans when needed.

We conduct routine and specialized Spay & Neuter Surgery to enhance your pet’s health and reduce risks of cancers, infections, and unwanted behaviors. Our veterinarians prioritize safety with pre-surgery bloodwork, expert monitoring during anesthesia, and post-operative care instructions. We offer same-day or short-stay recovery options tailored to the procedure.

We offer Emergency Stabilization services to address acute conditions like trauma, poisoning, or critical illness. Our team performs diagnostic tests immediately, administers life-saving treatments (e.g., IV fluids, pain management), and works around-the-clock to stabilize pets before advanced care or transfer is needed.

We provide Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for pets requiring intensive or prolonged care, including post-surgery recovery, chronic illness management, or critical injuries. Our ICU setup includes oxygen therapy, IV fluids, advanced diagnostics, and around-the-clock veterinary supervision by skilled staff.

We provide comprehensive Pain Management for pets undergoing surgery, recovering from injury, or suffering from chronic conditions like arthritis. Our approach includes multi-modal pain control (pharmaceuticals, cold/laser therapy, rehabilitation) and closely monitors your pet’s comfort levels post-intervention.

We perform Anal Gland Expression to relieve impactions or infections causing discomfort in dogs. This quick, routine procedure is often recommended during wellness exams, especially for pets showing straining, scooting, or signs of distress. We also advise on preventive measures.

We conduct Quality of Life Assessments to evaluate aging or terminally ill pets’ comfort, mobility, appetite, and emotional state. Using tools like the HHHHHMM scale, we collaborate with pet owners to make informed decisions about palliative care, medication adjustments, or end-of-life options.
