Summerfields Animal Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages to detect early signs of disease and maintain overall well-being. Our veterinarians assess health from nose to tail, addressing concerns you may have about behavior or physical changes.

Our tailored Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages support optimal early development with critical vaccinations (rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and FVRCP), Parasite Deworming (Intestinal) for zoonotic risk mitigation, and Nutritional Counseling. We also offer behavioral guidance, socialization advice, and training tools to build a foundations for a healthy life.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care programs (starting at 7 years for dogs/cats) include Geriatric Bloodwork, early disease screening (e.g., diabetes, arthritis, cancer) via In-House Bloodwork (CBC & Chemistry Panels), and tailored monitoring. We emphasize baseline diagnostics to track age-related declines and proactive care for conditions like heart disease using EKG / ECG (Heart Monitoring).

We administer mandatory Core Vaccinations (rabies, distemper [Canine/Parvo/DA2PPv, Feline/FVRCP]) to ensure protection against fatal or contagious diseases. Vaccines are part of all our wellness exams, with puppy/kitten series tailored to developmental needs.

Annual Heartworm Testing and year-round prevention are integrated into wellness plans. We emphasize indoor/outdoor risks, including mosquito exposure, and provide guidance on missed doses or travel scenarios to prevent fatal infections.

We prescribe safe, clinic-authorized Flea & Tick Prevention, tailored to species-specific needs. Our team educates on dangers of natural remedies and dispels myths about flea/tick-free pets, stressing life-threatening risks like Ehrlichia or Lyme disease.

We offer Microchipping & Registration as a routine service, with updated contact info in national databases. Our techs can answer questions about longevity, placement safety (subcutaneous needle), and microchip interaction with scanners to ensure reliable reunions.

Critical for puppies/kittens, our Parasite Deworming targets zoonotic intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms). Protocols include biweekly deworming early in life, followed by monthly prevention, with education on preventing household cross-contamination via proper cleaning and pet hygiene.

Our Behavioral Counseling addresses concerns like chewing, aggression, or separation anxiety with tailored assessments. We provide training workshops, referrals to certified behaviorists, and environmental modifications (e.g., pheromone therapy, anxiety management tools).

Our state-of-the-art lab provides rapid In-House Bloodwork, including CBC and chemistry panels, for early disease detection (e.g., organ dysfunction, infections). Results are discussed same-day with preventive or treatment plans, reducing diagnostic delays.

Routine Urinalysis (part of annual exams and senior screenings) screens for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, or diabetes. We collaborate with clients to monitor hydration, diet, and symptoms like increased thirst to prevent progressive conditions.

As part of wellness and preventive care, we conduct Fecal Testing for gastrointestinal parasites, giardia, or bacterial infections. Positive results trigger decontamination protocols for homes and other pets to break zoonotic transmission cycles.

We provide Allergy Testing to identify environmental or food allergens contributing to skin/hair loss, itching, or ear infections. Diagnostics inform targeted treatments like Medicated Baths or dietary management plans.

Routine and emergency Blood Pressure Monitoring helps track conditions like hypertension (postrenal disease, thyroid) or hypotension (shock). Our digital equipment ensures accurate, stress-reduced readings in a calm environment.

Under anesthesia, we utilize Dental X-Rays to diagnose hidden dental disease (e.g., root abscesses, fractures) beyond visible surfaces. Findings guide treatment plans like extractions, root canals, or antimicrobial therapy.

For advanced dental disease or fractured teeth, we provide Tooth Extractions, often during dental cleanings. Our veterinarians focus on pain management, extraction techniques, and suture options to minimize recovery complications.

Our Spay & Neuter Surgery services prioritize safe anesthesia protocols (pre-op bloodwork, monitoring), minimally invasive techniques for faster recoveries, and personalized discharge instructions to prevent complications.

Our Emergency Stabilization protocols include IV fluid therapy, Pain Management (via multimodal regimes), and critical diagnostics like Blood Pressure Monitoring or EKG / ECG during nighttime emergencies. Clients are notified immediately for urgent care decisions.

From postoperative care to chronic disease management, we provide Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring in climate-controlled suites with continuous patient assessment. Technicians track IV fluid rates, Oxygen Therapy needs, and medication responses.

Oxygen Therapy is used in emergencies (e.g., anesthesia recovery, respiratory distress) or chronic conditions like heart disease. We provide supplemental oxygen via cages or masks, with continuous vital sign monitoring during treatment.

Critical for dehydration, shock, or medication administration, our IV Fluid Therapy uses balanced crystalloids or colloids. We tailor rates based on lab results (e.g., electrolytes) and monitor for complications like fluid overload.

We deliver multimodal Pain Management using anesthetics, opioids, NSAIDs (pet-safe), and adjunct therapies like Cold Laser Therapy. Post-op, we provide analgesia prescriptions and activity restrictions to optimize comfort and healing.

For suspected toxin exposures (e.g., chocolates, lilies, human meds), we induce vomiting, administer activated charcoal, or employ IV Fluid Therapy to dilute toxins. Our emergency team follows APCC protocols and may consult toxicology specialists.

Medical Grooming services include Sanitary Shave (urinary/anal gland support), Medicated Baths for skin conditions, Nail Trimming/Dremeling, and Ear Cleaning. We customize baths to treat allergies, infections, or matted fur safely.

Our technicians offer Anal Gland Expression during exams or when pets show scooting/soiled fur. We educate owners on signs of impaction and recommend lifestyle changes (e.g., diet, fiber supplements) to prevent recurrence.

Our acupuncture services target pain, nausea (e.g., post-op), and neurological conditions. Licensed veterinarians use sterile needles at acupuncture points, with clients witnessing sessions to monitor their pet’s response.

Cold Laser Therapy accelerates healing post-surgery, injuries, or arthritic flare-ups by reducing inflammation and promoting cellular repair. Sessions are non-invasive, pain-free, and often integrated into chronic pain management plans.

Our Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation programs include underwater treadmill hydrotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, and massage therapy for post-op or orthopedic patients. Customized plans are monitored by certified veterinary therapists.

Herbal Medicine Consultations explore complementary treatments (e.g., turmeric for arthritis, calendula for wounds) after thorough conventional diagnostics. Our team ensures safe integrations with prescription medications.

Quality of Life Assessments (HHHH scale) guide clients on end-stage care decisions. Discussions focus on pain levels, mobility, appetite, and joy to ensure humane euthanasia or care plans aligned with pet comfort.

We offer Telemedicine Consultations for non-urgent concerns like minor ear infections, follow-up wound checks, or prescription refills. These sessions ensure timely advice when in-person visits are impractical.
