Wellness Annual Exams
Report
A wellness exam is an overall general health assessment of each patient and is performed at least every 12 months. These examinations are very important to maintaining your pet's overall health and helps us get to know your pet and what is normal for them. In addition to the physical examination, our trained staff will review and update recommended vaccinations and preventatives, provide dietary guidance and discuss any other health concerns.
Surgical Services
Report
At Powder Ridge, we understand that anesthesia and surgery can evoke a very emotional response in a pet parent's heart While anesthesia unfortunately carries a small risk, we do everything possible to ensure the safety of your pet during a surgical procedure. We start with a thorough pre-operative physical examination and bloodwork to ensure that no pre-existing conditions are present.
Sick and/or emergency visits
Report
During business hours, Monday through Friday 8am to 4pm, we provide sick and emergency care to your pets. Since we are not open 24 hours, serious emergencies or pets requiring overnight care will be referred to one of the local emergency hospitals. We partner closely with these facilities to ensure your companion receives exceptional, continuous care.
Small Animal Dentistry
Report
During your companion's annual physical, our team will assess your pet for dental (periodontal) disease. Dental disease is one of the most common medical conditions we see and occurs when the accumulation of plaque and tartar results in gum recession and/or infection of the gums, tooth socket and occasionally surrounding bone.
