Ceredo Kenova Animal Clinic

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages, evaluating key organ systems and tracking health changes through detailed evaluations. These exams support early detection of health issues and establish a personalized health profile for your pet. Whether scheduled annually or during wellness visits, our exams ensure proactive pet care with a focus on prevention and education. We prioritize open discussion of your pet's lifestyle, diet, and concerns to inform tailored recommendations.

We offer Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to set new pets on the path to lifelong health. These packages include complete physical examinations, tailored vaccination schedules (Core Vaccinations and Lifestyle Vaccinations), parasite prevention advice, and nutritional guidance. Our team educates pet owners on training, behavior, and preventive care to support healthy growth and development. Regular visits also ensure early intervention if any health concerns arise during this critical developmental stage.

Our practice specializes in Senior Pet Wellness Care, recognizing that pets 7+ years old need age-appropriate attention. We develop tailored wellness plans that may include regular bloodwork (In-House Bloodwork), urinalysis, and physical exams to monitor organ function, detect early disease, and adjust medications or diets as needed. We address mobility, cognitive health, and quality-of-life concerns, ensuring your senior pet enjoys comfort, dignity, and a longer lifespan. Senior visits also provide opportunities to discuss pain management and palliative care options.

We provide Core Vaccinations for diseases like Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo, which are critical to protecting pets from potentially fatal illnesses. These vaccines are recommended for all dogs and cats as part of our comprehensive preventive care. We follow updated guidelines to ensure pets receive immunizations at appropriate life stages. Vaccination records, booster schedules, and lifestyle-based recommendations are personalized to optimize safety and efficacy, giving pet owners peace of mind.

We provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention through annual screenings and preventive medications to safeguard pets against heartworm disease—a potentially fatal condition transmitted by mosquitoes. Testing is quick and non-invasive, while prevention involves FDA-approved medications tailored to your pet’s weight and risk factors. We emphasize year-round prevention, education on symptoms, and monitoring for heartworm-related complications to ensure optimal heart and lung health.

As part of our Parasite Prevention and Control program, we offer Flea & Tick Prevention treatments and educational counseling. Our team prescribes and dispenses effective oral, topical, or injectable preventives, customized to your pet’s age, species, and lifestyle. We also address environmental control measures, such as home treatments, and discuss signs of infestations to prevent secondary diseases like Lyme or Ehrlichia. Your pet’s comfort and protection are our priority.

We provide Microchipping & Registration services to help pets return home safely if lost. This one-time, quick procedure involves placing a tiny implantable microchip under the skin, linked to a national recovery database with your contact information. Our team ensures proper registration and provides tips on keeping microchip details updated. Even indoor pets benefit—microchipping is the most reliable form of permanent identification, giving you peace of mind when traveling or during unexpected crises.

Our clinic offers Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management to optimize your pet’s health through diet and lifestyle adjustments. Whether addressing obesity, food allergies, or chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, kidney disease), we provide personalized meal plans, ingredient guidance, and feeding schedules. Our certified nutritionist evaluates pet food labels, recommends therapeutic diets, and offers support for picky eaters or pets with special dietary needs. We also collaborate with owners to create sustainable weight-loss or gain objectives.

We perform Parasite Deworming for intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms, which can cause digestive upset or zoonotic diseases. Deworming treatments are recommended at regular intervals, especially for puppies/kittens, outdoor pets, or those showing symptoms (e.g., diarrhea, vomiting). We use broad-spectrum or targeted medications based on diagnostic tests (e.g., fecal testing) and provide education on minimizing reinfection risks, including environmental sanitation and prevention strategies.

Our Behavioral Counseling services address a wide range of issues, including aggression, anxiety, housetraining problems, and leash reactivity. Using evidence-based techniques, we combine veterinary insights with behavioral training to create tailored solutions for your pet. Owners receive education on body language, stress signals, and environmental enrichment to foster positive behaviors. For complex cases, we collaborate with certified trainers or specialists to ensure long-term success and strengthen the bond between pets and their guardians.

We utilize Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose and monitor a variety of health conditions, such as fractures, heart disease, gastrointestinal obstructions, or metastatic cancer. Our modern technology provides rapid, high-resolution images with lower radiation exposure than traditional X-rays. Procedures are minimally invasive and performed painlessly; results are promptly reviewed by our veterinarians to develop accurate treatment plans. X-rays are integral to emergency, surgical, and wellness care, allowing us to address both acute and chronic issues.

Our Ultrasound Imaging services enable detailed evaluation of abdominal organs (liver, spleen, kidneys), reproductive systems, and cardiac function in real time. This non-invasive, radiation-free technology helps detect abnormalities such as tumors, pregnancy, liver disease, or fluid buildup without sedation for many cases. We use ultrasound as part of diagnostic workups for unexplained symptoms, pre-surgical assessments, or monitoring ongoing conditions. Results facilitate precise diagnoses and tailored treatment plans.

For pets with severe dental disease, broken teeth, or untreated oral infections, we perform Tooth Extractions to alleviate pain and prevent systemic infections. Procedures are conducted under general anesthesia using modern surgical techniques and sterile instruments; our team ensures meticulous post-operative care and pain management. We prioritize comfort and recovery, discussing alternatives like root canals or restorative dentistry if applicable. Extractions are part of a comprehensive oral health plan to restore dental function.

Our clinic specializes in Oral Surgery to address complex dental issues such as fractured jaws, cysts, or tumor removals (e.g., oral melanomas). Surgeries are performed by skilled veterinarians using advanced equipment and techniques to ensure precision, minimal trauma, and optimal recovery. Anesthesia, infection control, and post-operative care plans are personalized, with pain management and dietary restrictions emphasized. Referrals for advanced cases (e.g., Oral Surgery) may occur when needed to provide the best outcomes.

We offer treatment for Periodontal Disease, which affects over 80% of adult pets and leads to tooth loss, oral pain, and infections spreading to vital organs. Treatments include Professional Dental Cleaning, root planing, dental Sealants, and antibiotic therapy when indicated. Our team evaluates gum health via Dental X-Rays or periodontal probes post-scaling. Early intervention and follow-up exams are critical; we provide guidance for at-home care like water additives or dental diets to slow progression and improve quality of life.

Our Spay & Neuter Surgery services ensure comprehensive reproductive health for pets, reducing risks of cancers, uterine infections, and unwanted litters. Female spays involve removal of the uterus and ovaries, while male neuters remove testicles or perform a castration, all performed under sterile conditions with attentive anesthesia monitoring. We emphasize healing, pain management, and post-operative instructions to ensure smooth recovery. Spay/neuter is a foundation for preventive healthcare, supported by our surgical expertise.

We provide Emergency Stabilization for pets experiencing trauma, toxic ingestion, or sudden illness. Our team implements immediate interventions such as IV Fluid Therapy, oxygen support, and critical diagnostics (Digital X-Rays or EKG / ECG), often while stabilizing the patient before further care. Emergency services include Poison & Toxin Treatment, wound management, and 24/7 access to experienced professionals. With around-the-clock staffing, we’re prepared to address crises like hit-by-car incidents, choking, or cardiac emergencies without delay.

Our clinic offers Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for pets requiring overnight care due to illness, surgery, or chronic conditions. After hours, our on-site team provides dedicated nursing care, including vital sign monitoring, IV Fluid Therapy, and frequent reassessments. We use state-of-the-art equipment to track recovery progress and address complications promptly. A comfortable, quiet environment with heated beds and individualized attention supports healing. Our focus is on open communication with owners to ensure transparency and emotional support during pets’ stays.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy for pets with dehydration, kidney disease, shock, or post-surgical recovery needs. Fluids restore hydration, stabilize electrolytes, and support organ function via IV catheters placed in our clinic. Our team tailors solutions based on diagnostics (e.g., bloodwork) and monitors response closely. Oxygen Therapy and fluids are often used together in critical care, ensuring your pet receives precise medical support during recovery or emergencies. Comfort and minimal stress are prioritized during fluid administration.

Our Pain Management approach includes preemptive, post-operative, or chronic pain protocols utilizing pharmaceuticals, modalities like cold laser therapy (Cold Laser Therapy), or acupuncture. Pain plans are customized for surgical patients, arthritis sufferers, or those with traumatic injuries. We offer oral, injectable, or transdermal medications, with regular assessments to adjust treatment as needed. Owner education includes recognizing pain signals and reporting changes to optimize pain relief at home. Compassionate care extends to palliative cases where comfort is paramount.

As part of Emergency Stabilization, we treat Poison & Toxin Exposure through rapid intervention strategies. This may involve inducing vomiting, administering activated charcoal, or providing IV fluids to manage organ toxicity. We collaborate with poison control centers to identify antidotes or countermeasures, using tools like lab work or EKGs to assess damage. Common cases include ingestion of chocolate, grapes, rodenticides, or human medications. Urgent care minimizes long-term effects, with monitoring and follow-up to ensure full recovery.

For pets with Medical Grooming needs—such as those requiring sanitary clips to ease urination during surgery, incontinence cases, or skin disease treatment—we provide Sanitary Shave services. This sterile procedure exposes and cleans affected areas, especially around perineal and abdominal regions. Our grooming team works closely with veterinarians to tailor shaving patterns based on medical requirements, while ensuring your pet remains calm and comfortable through gentle handling. Post-procedure skincare advice is also provided to prevent irritation.

We offer Nail Trimming & Dremeling as part of our preventive and medically necessary grooming services. Regular trimming prevents cracked nails, painful overgrowth, or fractures—common in pets with mobility issues or arthritis. Dremels safely file nails to precise lengths, reducing risk of injury. Services are particularly important for senior pets or those requiring Anal Gland Expression, which we also perform to relieve impaction and pain. Our team uses quiet tools and treats to minimize stress, ensuring safe and effective maintenance.

We provide Anal Gland Expression to address impactions that cause discomfort, scooting, or painful stooling. Using sterile techniques, we manually express the glands during wellness visits or at pet owners’ request. Chronic issues or impactions that require medical intervention may prompt further diagnostics (e.g., ultrasound) to rule out abscesses or tumors. Education on signs of anal gland problems and prevention tips are shared to support ongoing health. Our emphasis is on timely relief to maintain your pet’s comfort.

Our clinic offers Acupuncture as an adjunct therapy for chronic pain, arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders, and neurological conditions. Trained certified veterinarians deliver precise needle insertions in specific meridians to stimulate natural healing and reduce inflammation. Acupuncture often complements conventional treatments like medications or physical therapy (Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation), or stands alone for appropriate conditions (e.g., allergies or mobility support). We assess each pet’s suitability and create multi-modal care plans to address their unique needs.
