About Us
At Northwoods Veterinary Clinic, we are dedicated to providing top-quality veterinary care to the pets of North Charleston and the surrounding regions. Since our inception in 1984, we have been committed to the health and well-being of our patients. Our full-service animal hospital is equipped to meet all of your pet's basic healthcare needs, from preventive care to diagnostic and surgical services.
We believe that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," and we emphasize preventative care to ensure that your pet stays healthy. Our comprehensive wellness exams include a complete nose-to-tail examination, ensuring that every aspect of your pet's health is thoroughly checked. This includes inspecting their teeth for tartar build-up, checking for irregular lumps or growths, weighing your pet, and monitoring their vitals such as heart rate and temperature. We also look for signs of skin problems, allergies, and achy joints or ligaments, and check for runny noses or eyes.
We follow the American Heartworm Society's guidelines for heartworm and intestinal parasite screening, which means that dogs are tested annually for heartworms and intestinal parasites, and cats that routinely go outdoors are tested annually for intestinal parasites. Our goal is to provide you with peace of mind about your pet's health and to educate you on daily care practices that can help maintain their overall well-being.
In addition to our preventive care services, we offer advanced diagnostic testing and in-house laboratory services. If any abnormalities are detected during a wellness visit, we can recommend treatment or schedule further diagnostic testing to ensure your pet receives the best possible care. We also provide top-notch dental care services, including complete dental cleanings, to help keep your dog's teeth healthy and prevent conditions like tartar build-up and gum disease.
At Northwoods Veterinary Clinic, we understand that visiting the vet can sometimes be a scary experience for pets. That's why we take extra measures to make sure that all of our patients feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Our experienced staff is committed to providing exceptional service and ensuring that your pet receives the best care possible.
We are proud of our long history of serving the community and look forward to continuing to provide top-quality veterinary care to the pets of North Charleston. Whether you have a routine check-up or need urgent attention, we are here to help your furry friend stay healthy and happy.
