Franklin County Animal Hospital: Brunk Heidi R DVM

We administer core vaccinations for rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and Leptospirosis as part of our preventive care protocols. Our veterinarians customize vaccine recommendations based on your dog’s lifestyle, breed, and medical history to ensure optimal protection.

We offer heartworm testing and prevention programs as part of our preventive care exams. Early detection and monthly preventatives are critical to protecting your pet from this potentially fatal disease, especially in regions with mosquito activity.

We provide flea and tick prevention solutions tailored to your pet’s needs, including topical treatments, oral medications, and environmental control products. These preventatives are discussed during annual exams to ensure year-round protection.

We offer microchipping services for permanent identification of pets, paired with registration in national databases. This is a one-time procedure recommended during spay/neuter visits or wellness exams to safeguard against loss.

We provide nutritional counseling and weight management plans as part of our preventive care, including dietary recommendations during annual exams. Our team helps address obesity-related conditions and tailors meal plans to your pet’s age, breed, and health status.

We offer intestinal parasite deworming as part of our preventive care protocols. Fecal testing is performed during exams to detect parasites like roundworms or hookworms, followed by targeted treatments to ensure your pet’s gastrointestinal health.

We use dental X-rays during cleanings to identify hidden issues like tooth root infections, fractures, or oral tumors. This advanced imaging guides our treatment plans for comprehensive dental care and extractions when necessary.

We perform spay and neuter surgeries as routine procedures to prevent unwanted litters, reduce disease risks (e.g., mammary cancer, pyometra), and improve behavioral outcomes. Our team follows strict surgical protocols for safety and recovery.

We offer emergency stabilization services for pets requiring immediate care, such as trauma, poisoning, or critical illness. Our hospital operates with 24-hour monitoring capabilities to provide life-saving interventions until full recovery.

We specialize in pain management, offering tailored protocols for post-surgical recovery, chronic conditions (e.g., arthritis), and acute injuries. Our approach combines medications, laser therapy, acupuncture, and rehabilitation to optimize comfort.

We treat poison and toxin exposures with emergency protocols, including IV fluids, induced vomiting (when safe), and supportive care. Early intervention is critical—contact us immediately if your pet ingests harmful substances.

We provide chemotherapy and radiation services through our veterinary oncologist to treat cancer in pets. Treatment plans are customized based on tumor type, stage, and your pet’s overall health, with options for both inpatient injections and take-home medications.

We provide acupuncture as a gentle, non-invasive treatment for pets suffering from chronic conditions like arthritis, pain management (neck/back), cancer-related symptoms, respiratory issues, and skin allergies. Our Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (Dr. Kelly Cockram) tailors sessions to each pet’s needs, promoting relaxation, immune support, and holistic healing through targeted needle placement at acupuncture points.

We offer cold laser therapy as a painless, drug-free treatment for acute and chronic conditions such as post-surgical recovery, arthritis, lacerations, hip dysplasia, gingivitis, and wound healing. Our sessions integrate seamlessly with traditional medicine and holistic therapies like acupuncture to enhance your pet’s comfort and mobility.

We provide domestic travel certificates for pets moving between states, including vaccinations and health records. These are essential for compliance with interstate regulations and boarding facilities.
