Spaying and neutering your pet prevents reproduction, can reduce undesirable behaviors and prevents many diseases, such as certain types of cancer. We know that spaying or neutering your puppy or kitten is a big decision and our experienced veterinarians will help you determine the right time to pursue these routine surgeries for your furry companion.

Dr. Treat veterinarians perform both routine and more complex surgical procedures such as mass removals, biopsies and abdominal exploration to determine a cause of an illness.

We can perform a number of emergency surgeries including laceration repair, surgical treatment of wounds and removal of ingested foreign objects. In the event that we are not able to perform a certain surgery, we can refer your pet to the necessary facility.

Dental disease can significantly affect a pet’s overall well-being. We recommend prophylactic dental care in the form of tooth brushing, enzymatic oral chews and special diets in addition to regular dental cleaning to prevent tooth and gum disease.

Our experienced veterinarians can surgically remove infected, fractured or dead teeth to prevent ongoing infection, pain and disease. The process also involves treatment of periodontal (gum) disease and can sometimes include the removal of oral growths or masses.

Dr. Treat veterinarians can diagnose and recommend treatment options for a large number of orthopedic conditions, such as bone disease, ligament and tendon injury and disease, and muscle disorders. When your pet needs a specific orthopedic surgery, we will endeavor to either have this performed in-house by one of our mobile specialist surgeons or refer you to a specialty veterinary hospital to have this done.

Routine blood and urine testing is essential to assess organ function and screen for the development of disease. Early diagnosis allows for rapid treatment and preventative measures. Most test results are available within 48 hours, but some tests can take longer. Dr. Treat values the importance of quickly getting this information to you and have made this a priority in our clinics.

Regular fecal testing allows for the detection and treatment of internal parasites, many of which cannot be seen with the naked eye. More advanced fecal testing can detect less common parasites, bacteria and viruses.

Samples taken in the clinic, such as ear swabs, skin scrapings and fluid from masses, can be assessed under a microscope for infectious organisms and cell types. Our digital microscope allows us to rapidly complete this assessment to help you understand what’s going on with your pet.

Arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms) are common in pets and can be difficult to identify on routine exams. 1 in 25 cats and 1 in 20 dogs have an arrhythmia that could be missed without a heart screen (electrocardiogram, ECG). We perform routine heart screens on all of our patients prior to undergoing anesthesia. Dr.Treat can engage veterinary cardiologists to further consult on your pet’s heart health, should the need arise.

Digital radiology allows us to take a closer look at your pet and diagnose diseases that are not always seen with the naked eye. Our radiographs are reviewed by specialists to ensure a correct diagnosis is made.

Dental radiology is important to screen for tooth root disease and bone loss during dental cleanings. This is the gold standard in veterinary practice today as a large amount of dental disease exists below the gumline.  

Full body radiography includes assessment of the chest, abdomen, spine/vertebral column and limbs.

Dr. Treat veterinarians and technicians are experienced at using our ultrasound for sterile urine collection (cystocentesis) and may, where necessary, perform a brief emergency ultrasound check for fluid in the chest or abdomen if we suspect there is a problem. We can also perform basic abdominal ultrasound to screen for or confirm a disease process.

It is important to monitor blood pressure in pets, just as it is in humans. Our veterinarians and technicians are experienced in measuring your pet’s blood pressure and strive to do so in a low-stress manner to ensure accuracy.

Eye issues are often distressing to pets and their humans. We take no chances when it comes to eyes and ensure your pet receives a full evaluation. Your companion will have tonometry (eye pressure assessment), fluorescein staining (to check for corneal ulceration) and tear testing (to check for dry eye) where necessary.

Allergies are extremely common in dogs and can have a significant adverse effect on quality of life for both the pet and their human. Allergy blood testing allows us to determine what your pet is allergic to and gives our veterinarians the necessary information to work with you on treatment options and preventative measures to manage your pet’s allergic disease.

Diagnosis of allergic disease when the patient first develops symptoms can drastically improve the outcome for the pet by enabling earlier intervention with hypo-sensitization therapy (‘allergy injections’) and other treatments.

We always want to do the best for you and your pet. When we have questions or concerns about a case, our veterinarians can partner with veterinary specialists to help provide gold standard care for your furry companion.
