Veterinary Care Clinic of Smokey Point

We offer Comprehensive Physical Exam services to assess your pet’s overall health. Our detailed wellness exams are tailored for every stage of life—from puppies and kittens to senior pets—helping us detect and address subtle changes early. We recommend bi-annual wellness visits for optimal preventive care, prioritizing a thorough evaluation of your pet’s weight, vital signs, teeth, joints, and organ function.

We provide Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to ensure your new furry family member starts life in the healthiest way possible. Our packages include comprehensive exams, tailored vaccination schedules (covering Rabies, Distemper, Parvo, and more), parasite prevention, and nutritional counseling. We also discuss socialization, spay/neuter options, and early behavioral guidance to set your pet up for a long, happy life.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care includes age-specific exams and advanced diagnostics like In-House Bloodwork and biometric screenings (heart rate, blood pressure). We recommend biannual wellness visits for seniors to address common age-related issues (joint pain, organ function decline) and adjust preventive care (diet, parasite testing). Our goal is to extend your senior pet’s quality and longevity with proactive, tailored strategies.

We administer Core Vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Parvo) as part of our preventive care during wellness visits. These vaccines protect against devastating, often fatal diseases tailored to your pet’s lifestyle (indoor/outdoor exposure). We provide clear recommendations for puppy/kitten series and booster schedules, adhering to strict veterinary guidelines.

As part of our in-house laboratory services, we provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention annually for at-risk pets. Early detection via bloodwork allows us to prescribe prevention medications tailored to your pet’s size and lifestyle. Year-round prevention is critical in Washington’s climate, where mosquitoes—even in winter—can transmit heartworm.

We emphasize Flea & Tick Prevention as part of our parasite prevention program. Our veterinary team evaluates risk factors (environment, activities) and recommends targeted treatments (oral, topical, or environmental control). Early intervention prevents secondary health issues like allergies or tick-borne diseases (e.g., Lyme). We also address flea/tick infestations with medicated baths and environmental cleaning strategies.

We offer Microchipping & Registration to safeguard your pet’s safety. Our standard procedure implants a permanent RFID chip with your up-to-date contact info, significantly increasing recovery odds if your pet ever goes missing. Registration is completed on-site with the national pet recovery databases. Microchipping is quick, painless, and highly recommended for all pets.

Our Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services help pets achieve a healthy weight through personalized diet plans, obesity assessments, and lifestyle adjustments. We evaluate commercial vs. homemade diets, portion sizes, and treat moderation. Did you know nearly 60% of pets are overweight? Obesity can worsen joint disease, diabetes, and heart problems—we work to reverse these risks collaboratively.

Parasite Deworming is part of our core preventive care and includes fecal exams (Fecal Testing) to identify intestinal worms (roundworm, hookworm). Fecal float tests (collected during wellness visits) dictate prescription deworming frequency—critical to curb zoonotic diseases passed to humans. Puppies/kitten deworming often requires a multi-step regime.

Behavioral Counseling addresses stress, aggression, or disruptive habits through personalized plans. Our consultations include lifestyle adjustments, training tips, and potential connections with pet behaviorists. Common concerns covered: separation anxiety, excessive barking, or fear of loud noises (e.g., fireworks). We combine education with empathy to foster positive change.

By conducting In-House Bloodwork (Complete Blood Counts and chemistry panels), we expedite diagnostics for thyroid disease, early-stage cancer, kidney/liver dysfunction, or anemia. Rapid results (within hours) enable same-day treatment adjustments rather than waiting days for a reference lab. Senior pets benefit most from bi-annual screenings to baseline data.

Our clinic utilizes advanced Digital X-Rays (Radiography) for non-invasive diagnostics. We capture high-resolution images of bones, organs, and soft tissues to identify fractures, infections, cancer, or dental disease. Digital technology speeds up processing, reduces radiation exposure, and allows instant image sharing with specialists for rapid, accurate diagnoses.

We provide Ultrasound Imaging for deep-tissue evaluation, vital for detecting early-stage heartworm, organ abnormalities (kidney/liver disease), pregnancy, or cancer. Ultrasounds are non-invasive, painless, and provide real-time imaging without radiation. This tool is especially useful for soft-tissue diagnostics that X-rays may miss. Results often guide further testing or treatment plans.

We perform Tooth Extractions for diseased or damaged teeth that pose oral health risks. Post -Dental X-Rays ensure no fractures remain, followed by extraction with minimal discomfort. We prioritize post-op care instructions (soft food, pain management) to promote a quick, complication-free recovery.

Our Oral Surgery services include Periodontal Disease Treatment, jaw lesion removals, and correction for traumatic injuries. We employ dental-specific tools to handle complex cases (e.g., abscess drainage) while monitoring anesthesia closely. These procedures restore function and alleviate pain while preserving oral health.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery as a routine preventive care service. Spaying females reduces risk of mammary cancer and uterine infections, while neutering males prevents testicular cancer and territorial aggression. Our surgeons prioritize patient safety with precise instruments, sterile protocols, and post-op pain management guidelines.

When pets require Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring, our team provides intensive care for conditions like dehydration, post-surgery recovery, poisoning (Poison & Toxin Treatment), or chronic illness. Our clinic’s staffing ensures continuous check-ins, IV Fluid Therapy, and emergency stabilization (e.g., oxygen support) until discharged or stabilized for transfer if needed.

Critical for emergency cases like respiratory distress (Poison & Toxin Treatment), congestive heart failure, or post-anesthetic monitoring, we deliver Oxygen Therapy via cages or nasal tubes. Supplemental oxygen stabilizes oxygen levels until the underlying cause is addressed. Our 24-Hour Monitoring ensures pets receive continuous care during these vulnerable states.

We offer Pain Management through multimodal approaches tailored to your pet’s condition. Medication plans address acute pain (post-surgery, injury) or chronic issues (arthritis, cancer). When appropriate, we combine oral meds with Cold Laser Therapy or Acupuncture to reduce reliance on drugs and support mobility. Pain assessment is ongoing during every visit.

In Poison & Toxin Treatment emergencies, we prioritize immediate response with IV Fluid Therapy, activated charcoal (for ingestion), and induced vomiting if critical. Common cases include chocolate/toxin ingestion, antifreeze exposure, or garden plant toxicity. Pets are stabilized on-site (Emergency Stabilization) before diagnostics and treatment continue.

Cold Laser Therapy accelerates healing and reduces inflammation/pain post-surgery or for chronic conditions like arthritis. Our Class IV laser uses specific wavelengths to stimulate cellular regeneration. Sessions are administered during visits or as part of a rehabilitation (Physical Therapy) plan. A non-invasive, drug-free alternative, it often complements traditional therapies.

Our Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation extends to pets with neurologic or muscular deficits. Services include Underwater Treadmill (Hydrotherapy), therapeutic massages, acupuncture, and range-of-motion exercises. Commonly helps post-Neurologic Surgery (e.g., disc removals), joint diseases, or post-hypothyroidism recovery.

We guide Quality of Life Assessments for geriatric pets by reviewing mobility, appetite, discomfort levels, and overall enjoyment using the HHHHHMM scale (Happiness, Hurt, Hunger, Hydration, Hygiene, Mobility, More Good Days). This tool helps families make informed decisions during end-of-life care discussions.
