Preventive Medicine
Our preventive care services include annual exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and diagnostic testing to detect early signs of disease. We develop customized wellness plans based on your pet's age, breed, and lifestyle. Annual blood work and urinalysis help monitor organ function and identify potential health issues before they become critical.
Dentistry Services
We provide comprehensive dental care including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Digital radiography identifies hidden dental disease, while routine scaling and polishing prevent painful infections. Our team educates clients on home oral hygiene practices to maintain optimal dental health and prevent systemic complications from poor oral care.
Surgery Services
From soft tissue procedures to complex orthopedic interventions, our surgical services prioritize patient safety and comfort. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures surgical candidates are stable, while advanced monitoring equipment tracks vital signs throughout procedures. We perform routine spays/neuters, mass removals, and refer specialized cases to board-certified surgeons when necessary.
Hospice Care
Our compassionate hospice services focus on maintaining quality of life for senior pets through pain management, nutritional support, and mobility assistance. We offer virtual consultations to discuss euthanasia options, helping families make informed decisions aligned with their pet's comfort and dignity during their final stages.
Diagnostics
Advanced diagnostic capabilities include in-house lab work, digital radiography, ultrasound, and specialized testing for conditions like diabetes and thyroid disease. These tools enable accurate diagnoses and treatment planning, with rapid results allowing timely intervention for critical cases requiring immediate attention.

Dr. Kaiser is amazing! She truly cares, she took her time talking to me and explaining what we were doing and why. I left the consult feeling informed about my cats situation and the steps we will take going forward. I highly recommend you bring your pets here for quality care!

Ive been trying to sort out my cats digestive issues for a long time with no answers. The vet understood what I was going through and was very honest and thorough with me. Thank you so much!

Dr.Kaiser is great with Paxton, who has never been comfortable in a vets office. His attitude is completely different while at Animal Clinic of Mandarin and he is not the slightest bit nervous, even while being poked! Also I'm glad I took her advice on getting Trupanion (pet insurance) as he ended up having allergies. Now his daily pills and monthly shots are fully covered, in the last 8 months Trupanion has paid out $4,230 so it has definitely paid for itself. Remember your dog cant tell you where it hurts, and you don't want money to be the deciding factor if your pet *might* be sick but you

She is an expert with the insurance company and the cost is so reasonable I feel silly for not having it or knowing about it before her. Im so glad she, as the doctor took the time to explain everything to me. My dogs skin started to get irritated and with Dr Kaiser and trupanion, he was treated.. My dog Buddy, was losing hair and getting red itchy areas and was so miserable one visit with Dr Kaiser and Buddy started looking
