Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams evaluate pets' overall health through physical assessments and preventative care planning. These regular checkups help detect early signs of disease while establishing baseline health metrics. Our veterinarians provide tailored recommendations for vaccinations, parasite prevention, and nutrition based on each pet's age, breed, and lifestyle factors.
Vaccinations
We administer core and elective vaccinations to protect pets against common infectious diseases. Our protocol includes rabies, distemper, and leptospirosis vaccines with customized schedules based on individual risk factors. All vaccines meet AAHA standards and come with proper documentation for travel and boarding requirements.
Microchipping
Permanent pet identification through microchip implantation ensures lifelong traceability. Our ISO-compliant chips work with universal scanners and require no maintenance. We register chips in national databases and provide owner update assistance to maintain current contact information for lost pet recovery.
Surgery
Our surgical services range from routine spays/neuters to complex soft-tissue procedures. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and intraoperative monitoring ensure patient safety. We employ both traditional and radiosurgery techniques for reduced bleeding and faster healing, with comprehensive post-operative care instructions provided.
Dental Care
Complete dental services include ultrasonic cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatments under anesthesia. We use modern equipment for plaque removal and oral disease prevention while addressing halitosis and dental pain. Clients receive home care guidance to maintain optimal oral health between professional cleanings.

Eagle Creek Animal Clinic has always cared for our dogs. Even when we moved out of Marion County and could have found a vet closer to our new home, we always chose to go back to ECAC. They are professional, kind and caring.

Report
Had an 11:00 appointment. Pulled up and a sign said to call the number to check in. Called the number, they said "You're checked in and we'll call you when it's your turn." 30 minutes later, with my pet in the car, I get the phone call! The took my pet in gave him his shot, and brought him back out in LESS THAN 5 minutes! Why did I wait 35 minutes for something that literally took less than 5 minutes!
There weren't any other customers, because no was the only one sitting in my car waiting! The place is locked down and doesn't allow customers inside, just their pets. To top it off, when they brought
