Anderson Ridge Vet Hospital

• Wellness visits are advised once or twice a year depending on the age and condition of your pet. In addition to a comprehensive physical evaluation of your pet at these visits, we also advise which vaccinations are needed and how often. Vaccinations in adult animals are typically required every 1 or 3 years depending on the vaccine.

   

• Parasite prevention is an important component of wellness visits. We can explain in detail the many different preventatives that are available and recommend the best product for your pet’s needs.

   

• Nutrition and appropriate diets are also discussed at wellness visits.

• Spaying and neutering your pets is STRONGLY advised.

• Spays for female pets and neuters for male pets can be performed typically as early as 12 weeks of age. There are some studies that show a benefit in waiting longer in some breeds of dogs, and this can be determined on individual basis.

• Spays and neuters are typically performed as “day procedures”, in which you will drop your pet off at the clinic in the morning and then pick he/she up in the afternoon.

We can accommodate most orthopedic surgeries here at Anderson Ridge Vet Hospital. Orthopedic surgeries that can be performed here include fracture repairs, patella luxation repair, TPLO, amputations, hip dislocation, and more.

Dental disease is extremely common in pets, can be quite debilitating, and can lead to more extensive health issues. We provide deep and thorough dental cleanings that are performed under general anesthesia. At the time of the dental, we evaluate whether there is a need for any extractions and perform them as deemed necessary. If you are unsure if a dental is needed in your pet(s), we are happy to see your pet for a dental exam.
