Our Services

MEDICAL AND BOARDING

Medical Services

• Wellness Care and Immunization

  From the beginning as a frisky puppy or kitten through geriatric care, we are here for you and your pet to keep them healthy through all life stages.  We have vaccine schedules and parasite testing and control designed specifically for your pet and their risks.  Our state-of-the-art laboratory allows us to do most diagnostic testing in house with same day results.  We recommend routine wellness exam packages for all of our patients. Our goal is to prevent illness whenever possible. Through routine blood and urine testing we can diagnose and treat diseases in early stages.  A healthy base line can be established for your pet's individual normal values.  The time and effort invested in Wellness programs has rewards for both pets and owners.   Be sure to schedule your pet for an annual or senior wellness exam package that includes a comprehensive physical exam, blood testing, and urine testing.  All veterinary services are by appointment only.

• Dental Care

  Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet's teeth.  Even with regular tooth brushing most pets will need to have some professional dental care throughout their lives.  We use modern and safe ultrasonic scalers to clean each tooth thoroughly - above and below the gum line. We polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup.  In most cases we recommend a product called OraVet, a plaque prevention gel that is applied at home, for use between dental cleanings.  Included in each dentistry is a set of full mouth digital x-rays that help us evaluate the health of the tooth roots below the gum line. Unlike most people, dogs and cats don't open wide and say 'AAHHH', at least not for long.  For this reason your pet is maintained under general anesthesia for their dentistry procedure.  As with all of our anesthetic cases your pet will be monitored closely by our trained anesthetists and top of the line multi-parameter monitors (ECG, blood pressure, SPO2, CO2, respirations, and temperature).  They are administered IV fluids throughout the procedure and are recovered in our warm ICU.  Your pet can go home the very same day with newly clean teeth and fresh breath.

• Surgery

  We go to great lengths to ensure that your pet's anesthetic experience is safe, successful, and that recovery is swift.  All patients are carefully screened for safety, and anesthetics are specifically tailored to your pet.  Our surgeries are performed with advanced laser technology.  The laser works like a scalpel but cauterizes small blood vessels as it goes, creating less bleeding, swelling, tissue damage and pain.  It allows a speedier recovery.  From routine spays and neuters to lump removals or orthopedic procedures we ensure that your pet is safe and comfortable for the duration of their procedure and recovery.  We use our therapeutic class 4 K-laser for post op treatment to further promote healing and comfort. All patients are fully monitored by our trained staff.  They are situated on a heated surgery table for warmth during and after the procedure.  Your pet will be on a multi-parameter monitor that measures ECG, blood pressure, SPO2, CO2, respiration and temperature.  We use IV fluid therapy to keep your pet hydrated and to maintain blood pressure while anesthetized.  During recovery your pet will be closely monitored by our staff in our heated ICU with soft comfortable bedding.  Pain management is high on our list of priorities and we will tailor a post op regimen that will keep your pet's pain under control.

• K-Laser

  The therapy K-Laser has been part of pain management and healing at Pet Dominion for several years.  It is a dual beam class IV laser that uses gentle therapeutic laser light to increase cellular energy and health to a damaged area.  This dramatically speeds healing time and reduces pain and swelling. The K-laser is used successfully in the management of chronic pain and stiffness due to arthritis or joint injury.  Our vets recommend laser therapy following routine surgeries such as spays and neuters as well as most other soft tissue and orthopedic procedures.  We can also use it following the extraction of a tooth.  The K-Laser stimulates the immune system, nerve regeneration, and cell reproduction and growth.  It is uninvasive, painless and has no side effects.  Each treatment lasts between 3 and 8 minutes.

• Radiology

  Radiology – or X-rays – help our veterinarians evaluate muscular-skeletal, cardiovascular(cardiopulmonary), gastrointestinal, reproductive and urinary systems.  They provide a still picture of the internal structures in our pets. We have the latest technology in radiology, an Eklin digital radiography  system.  Digital radiographs can be taken quickly and accurately.  They can be burned onto a CD or emailed  to referral centers.

• UltraSound

  This non-invasive, state-of-the-art technology uses sound waves to painlessly examine specific internal organs, primarily the heart and abdominal organs.  It is commonly used to evaluate bladder conditions such as cystitis, stones and to obtain guided sterile samples of urine.  You may want to have an ultrasound performed on your older dog or cat to evaluate the size, shape and consistency of the abdominal organs in case there are early signs of tumors or disease.  Doctors Falter and Carrier are available to perform scheduled ultrasounds five days a week.

Dog and Cat Boarding

• Doggie Daycare

  We provide three options for doggie daycare depending on your pooch's needs. Playdate Up to four hours of interaction with our staff and other dogs with some rest time too.  This is a great option to continue socializing your young dog or if you have a high energy dog who would benefit from romping with some pals for a few hours.  Feeling guilty about leaving your dog home while you run errands?  Drop him off here for some play time instead. Daycare This all day option is perfect for the working dog owner.  Your pup will spend the day playing with their daycare buddies, snuggling and sliming our kennel technicians, resting in their individual kennels, being fed treats and meals if needed, and having a great time being a dog.  At the end of your work day you can both be 'dog tired' together.  Spa services are available if desired. Super PLAYcare All the fun of regular daycare doubled!  Your high energy or attention loving dog can spend twice the normal amount of time out playing.  They will have access to a wading pool and shade when the weather is warm and the afternoon play block includes time in our swimming pool and water play area.  We offer this option on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.  Spa services are available if desired.

• Dog Boarding

  Dog owners feed, nurture, and lavish attention on their "best friend". Our highly qualified kennel attendants do the same for your dog when you can't be there. We provide tender loving care (such as brushing and cuddling), and supervised outdoor playtime to keep your dog healthy and happy.

• Cat Boarding

  Your kitty has a home routine that probably includes napping, mealtimes, napping, petting and attention, napping, playing, rubbing on the furniture and finally napping.  It can be difficult to disrupt the routine but we try to make her stay away from you and her home as pleasant as possible in our quiet cat room. During your cat's stay with us she will enjoy a multi-level kennel with soft fleece bedding to accomodate all that napping.  Often we can provide adjoining kennels for some extra room or if you have two cats who prefer to have each other's company.  Your cat will be fed IAMS original chicken formula dry or canned food, or their own food that you supply from home.  Fresh water is always available.  Non life-sustaining medications and supplements can be given per your directions.  Your kitty's kennel will be kept clean to meet or exceed your expectations.  Our caring kennel staff will give your cat plenty of attention and individual access to our cat trees as long as she enjoys human interaction.  At the end of her stay your feline friend will have a report card detailing her activities so that you know what your pal was doing while you were away.

• Spa Services

  We offer several services so that your pet goes home fresh after spending their time romping and rolling outside with their pals all covered in slobber. Keep in mind that we are not a grooming service and will not cut or style fur. We do offer: Regular bath Soothing oatmeal bath Brush out Nail trim Bathing services are for dogs only.  If your pet becomes too stressed during their nail trim we reserve the right to stop the service.
