Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams ensure early detection of health issues through comprehensive physical assessments including weight monitoring, dental evaluations, and organ system checks. Our veterinarians customize preventive care plans based on breed, age, and lifestyle factors while providing vaccination guidance and parasite control. Client education about diet, exercise, and behavioral changes forms a core part of these consultations to promote long-term pet wellness.
Surgical Services
Our surgical suite offers spays/neuters, mass removals, foreign body extractions, and wound repairs with advanced anesthesia monitoring. Certified technicians track vital signs using EKG, pulse oximetry, and blood pressure equipment while administering IV fluids for hydration support. Post-operative care includes pain management protocols and follow-up monitoring to ensure smooth recovery for canine and feline patients.
Dental Care
Dental cleanings include ultrasonic scaling, subgingival plaque removal, and polishing to prevent periodontal disease. Digital radiographs help identify hidden issues like fractured roots or bone infections, with extraction capabilities for irreparable teeth. Pain management and antibiotics accompany procedures, emphasizing preventive oral hygiene practices for maintaining pets' dental health.
Emergency Referrals
For after-hours emergencies, we coordinate care with regional specialty hospitals offering 24/7 critical support. Our referral network provides access to advanced diagnostics, intensive care units, and specialist veterinarians across New England for trauma, poisoning, or acute illnesses when immediate intervention beyond regular hours becomes necessary.
Radiology Services
Digital radiography enables rapid internal organ assessment for diagnosing fractures, respiratory issues, and foreign body obstructions. Our imaging capabilities extend to dental X-rays for evaluating tooth root health and detecting subgingival pathologies that would otherwise remain undiagnosed during routine oral examinations, enhancing accurate treatment planning.

Report
The first appointment went well and the doctor was very kind and thorough. It took over 2 months to be seen as a new patient, which seems unreasonable. (They said its the pandemic, but it seems to be VT in general, as I was able to see a vet in GA and my dogs dermatology specialist in PA in a weeks time). I hope they will be able to get my dog in sooner if shes sick.

I have worked mostly with Dr. Richard. She is very caring toward my dogs, their medical needs. She is very knowledgeable and has answers to all of my questions. I especially love the personalized attention that all of the staff give to my four dogs. Email follow ups and reminders are great! I also love the birthday greetings I get via email for each of my babies. I really feel that they care about all of them.

Awesome, professional care during a stressful incident. Our wonderful dog Bella did something she has not done since she was a puppy: she chewed and ate something that was not food...a huge rawhide glove that is used when we empty with our woodstove. When we realized what happened, we brought her to Kedron. We are new to the area but they treated her like she was a life-long client. Detailed x-rays, consultation, surgery, and 6 prescriptions followed. We were fully informed and give cost estimates every step of the way. Bella is on day 4 of her recovery and doing wonderfully. We received 2 follow
