Wellness Care
Our wellness care program includes annual exams, vaccinations, and diagnostic testing to maintain optimal pet health. We conduct nose-to-tail physical exams, review medical history, and recommend customized preventative treatments. The service emphasizes early disease detection through blood panels and fecal checks while providing tailored vaccination schedules based on AAHA guidelines.
Diagnostic Imaging
We offer digital radiography for immediate injury assessment and partner with veterinary radiologists for specialized evaluations. Our imaging services include ultrasound through Imaging 4 Pets and dental radiography for comprehensive oral health assessments. This technology enables accurate diagnosis of internal conditions while minimizing patient stress through in-house capabilities.
Palliative Care
Our palliative care focuses on maintaining comfort for senior pets through pain management and environmental modifications. We provide specialized treatments like Librela and Solensia for arthritis while offering compassionate euthanasia options. The service includes both in-hospital and in-home euthanasia with aftercare arrangements through Faithful Companion, ensuring dignified end-of-life transitions.
Laser Therapy
This non-invasive therapy uses targeted light wavelengths to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair. Sessions last 10-30 minutes without requiring sedation, effectively treating conditions like arthritis and post-surgical recovery. The painless procedure provides natural healing stimulation while creating a stress-free experience for pets through gentle warmth application.

We perform soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries with a specialist on staff for complex procedures. The service includes pre-operative diagnostics, advanced pain management, and post-operative care monitoring. Our surgical capabilities address conditions ranging from routine spays/neuters to fracture repairs while maintaining strict safety protocols throughout the treatment process.

Report
I can not say enough about the staff and service at Ballantyne Vet Clinic... this was our first fur baby and they have taken EXCELLENT care of her, despite all of the problems we've had. Between the front desk staff (whose names I now know by heart) and Dr. Humphrey, I will NEVER go anywhere else. They are extremely price conscious and never overcharge me for my visits. They are always genuinely happy to see our pup and that makes me feel a little more at ease knowing our girl is in good hands! Dr. Humphrey is extremely knowledgeable and always explains options/details so I can understand what

This is not just my Vet for my furrbabies. These people are my family. I could not exist without them. They have cared for my animals for the last 10 years and I would never dream of trusting my babies to anyone else.
