: Regular examinations are crucial for maintaining your pet's overall health. These comprehensive physical exams include vaccines, fecal evaluations, and diagnostic tests like blood work, radiographs, and urinalyses to detect potential issues early.

Surgery: We perform various surgical procedures, including spays, neuters, skin mass removals, cystotomies, and dental surgeries. Each patient receives a full pre-surgical examination and complete bloodwork before anesthesia, ensuring their safety during the procedure.

Dentistry: Our dental services include scaling teeth, charting abnormalities, full mouth radiographs, polishing, and extractions if necessary. We also provide guidance on maintaining good oral health through brushing, dental diets, oral gels, and water additives.

Alternative Medicine: We offer Alternative Medicine services such as Homeopathy, Herbal Medicine, and Acupuncture. Homeopathy is based on the science of similars, using animal, mineral, and plant material to assist the body's natural healing process. Acupuncture stimulates specific points in the body to relieve pain and promote wellness.

At Thoreau Veterinary Hospital, we are committed to providing compassionate and honest care. Our highly trained staff is dedicated to ensuring that each patient receives the best possible treatment. We believe in the importance of pain control and incorporate it into every aspect of our procedures. Whether your pet is young or older, we are here to support you in maintaining their health and well-being.
