Pierce Veterinary Clinic

We perform thorough annual examinations of your pet, assessing eyes, ears, mouth, lungs, heart, skin, abdomen, and musculoskeletal system for signs of illness or abnormalities. Our exams help detect issues early and promote long-term health. We examine every physical aspect—from gum color and coat condition to internal organ function and joint integrity to ensure your pet remains happy and healthy.

We offer complete wellness packages for puppies and kittens, including customized vaccination schedules starting at 6 weeks of age, FIV/FeLV testing, parvovirus/distemper vaccination, and deworming. Our plans ensure your young pets receive age-appropriate care, fostering a strong foundation for their future health.

We provide essential core vaccinations, including rabies (required yearly), distemper, and parvovirus vaccines for dogs, and feline distemper (FVRCP) for cats. Vaccines are administered as early as 6 weeks and boostered until 16-20 weeks of age, with core vaccines updated every 3 years thereafter.

We conduct heartworm testing as part of annual wellness check-ups and provide year-round prevention treatments using brands like Simparica Trio, Revolution, and Interceptor. Prevention is critical to avoiding this deadly parasite, transmitted by mosquitoes, and includes screening for tick-borne diseases as part of our diagnostic approach.

We provide flea and tick prevention solutions, including Nexgard and Simparica Trio, to safeguard your pet from infestations and vector-borne diseases like Lyme or Ehrlichia. Preventative care is integrated into wellness plans to enhance comfort and protect against external parasites.

We offer microchipping using ISO-standardized ResQ Pet Tracking System chips, inserted painlessly during a wellness visit or other procedures. Our service includes lifetime identification for pets and registration support for recovery in case of loss, ensuring permanent contact details are easily accessible.

We provide personalized nutritional advice and weight management programs to address obesity, dietary allergies, or special dietary needs. We recommend prescription diets (such as Purina, Hill’s, or Royal Canin) tailored to conditions like kidney disease, skin allergies, or urinary issues.

We incorporate parasite deworming as part of preventative care for puppies, kittens, and adult pets, using medications to target intestinal worms like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. Deworming is scheduled during initial puppy/kitten visits and as part of our annual wellness protocols.

We perform complete blood counts (CBC) and chemistry panels in-house to evaluate internal organ function, detect anemia, infections, and metabolic disorders, and prepare pets for surgery. Bloodwork is a key diagnostic tool for assessing kidney and liver health, glucose levels, and electrolyte balance.

We conduct urinalysis to diagnose urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and bladder stones by examining urine for crystals, pH balance, and signs of infection. Results guide treatment protocols and preventive strategies to maintain long-term bladder and renal health.

We analyze fecal samples to detect intestinal parasites like Giardia, roundworms, and hookworms, as well as bacterial overgrowth. Fecal testing is especially important for pets with diarrhea, poor condition, or those on parasite prevention programs requiring regular monitoring.

We use advanced digital radiography to diagnose fractures, dental issues, gastrointestinal obstructions, heart conditions, and bladder stones. Digital X-rays enable high-quality images that can be shared with specialists and provide detailed evaluations of bones, organs, and abnormalities.

We take pre- and post-extraction dental radiographs to assess hidden tooth damage, roots, or bone loss. Dental X-rays uncover issues like abscesses, fractured teeth, or periodontal disease that may not be visible during a standard oral exam.

We perform surgical tooth extractions for infected, fractured, or hopeless teeth with local anesthesia and post-operative radiographs to ensure complete removal. Extractions are often part of dental cleanings when diseased teeth cannot be conserved.

We offer routine spay and neuter surgeries for dogs and cats, recommending early spay/neuter by 6-12 months of age to prevent reproductive health issues like mammary tumors and unwanted litters. Pre-surgery bloodwork and pain management ensure safety and optimal recovery.

We perform C-sections for complicated deliveries or when natural birth poses risks to the mother or puppies/kittens. Cesarean sections are conducted in our state-of-the-art surgical suite with full monitoring, anesthesia, and immediate neonatal care to ensure safety.

Although primarily a large animal service, we address minor laceration repairs for small animals when necessary during regular hours. More complex wound care may require specialty referrals.

We issue USDA-accredited domestic travel certificates for pets moving between states or attending boarding/grooming facilities within the U.S. Travel documents must be issued within 10 days of the journey and remain valid for 30 days.
