Our Philosophy
At Countryside Animal Clinic, we understand that your pet is a cherished member of your family. That's why we treat every animal as one of our own. Our philosophy is grounded in the belief that an individual approach is the key to the best care for your pet. We are committed to providing a range of veterinary services, from routine preventative care for young, healthy pets to early detection and treatment of diseases for older pets. Our team is dedicated to client education, ensuring that you have all the information you need to make informed decisions about your pet's health.
Our Services
We offer a comprehensive array of services designed to meet the unique needs of your pet. Our surgical services include canine and feline spays and neuters, declaws, mass removals, and other elective surgeries. We also provide wellness visits, which include head-to-tail physical examinations tailored to your pet's age and lifestyle. These visits include vaccines, blood work, parasite preventatives, and nutritional counseling.
Our dental services include ultrasonic scaling, extractions, and a two-week long antibiotic treatment in the gum pockets. We also offer in-house pharmacy services, providing a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, shampoos, and flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. For more complicated cases, we offer referral services to specialists for ultrasounds, endoscopic procedures, and diagnostic support.
We are also committed to geriatric care, advising twice-a-year exams for senior pets and annual bloodwork. Our team is experienced in identifying and treating skin ailments, including allergies, parasites, or immune-related disorders. We utilize Class IV Laser Therapy to treat pain and inflammation, which is often used in routine surgeries to decrease pain and speed recovery.
