Veterinary Services

Keeping your pet healthy starts with routine veterinary care, and regular exams and vaccinations are among the simplest and most cost-effective ways to support long-term well-being.

Dental Services

Dental care is an essential part of your pet’s overall health, yet it is often overlooked.

Without regular brushing and professional cleanings, many dogs and cats experience ongoing oral discomfort. According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, dental disease affects a large percentage of pets by the age of 3, making periodontal disease one of the most commonly diagnosed medical conditions in companion animals.

Warning signs can include tartar buildup on the teeth, red or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, drooling, difficulty eating, pawing at the mouth, loose teeth or changes in behavior such as lethargy. However, pets may still have dental disease even without obvious symptoms, which is why annual dental evaluations by a veterinarian are recommended.

When plaque, bacteria and food particles accumulate around the teeth, they can damage the surrounding gums and bone if not treated, potentially leading to tooth loss and the need for advanced dental procedures. Oral infections may also spread through the bloodstream and affect vital organs, including the heart, liver, kidneys and lungs, creating more serious health risks.

A veterinary exam, along with appropriate diagnostic testing when needed, can help determine whether dental disease has progressed beyond the mouth. Pet owners can also play an important role in prevention by brushing their pet’s teeth regularly and using veterinarian-recommended diets, chews and treats designed to reduce plaque and tartar buildup.

Wellness & Medical Assessments

Because pets age more quickly than people, noticeable changes in health can occur in a relatively short time, making preventive care especially important. Wellness programs help identify diseases and medical conditions early, when they are often easier to treat or manage, and in some cases illnesses can be prevented altogether through appropriate vaccinations and preventive medications.

Healthy adult dogs and cats typically benefit from annual visits, while puppies, kittens, senior pets and those with existing health concerns often require more frequent evaluations. During a medical assessment, a veterinarian performs a thorough physical examination, evaluating the eyes, ears and skin, and checking the cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal systems for abnormalities.

Diagnostic testing, including blood or urine analysis, may be recommended to assess organ function such as the kidneys, liver, pancreas and endocrine system. Depending on the findings, additional diagnostics — such as X-rays, ultrasound, endoscopy or biopsy — may be advised to support an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan tailored to the individual pet.

Geriatric (Senior Medicine)

24th Street Animal Clinic now offers acupuncture and therapeutic, or “cold,” laser therapy as additional treatment options to support comfort, mobility and overall well-being, particularly for senior pets.

As veterinary care continues to improve, dogs and cats are living longer, which also increases the likelihood of age-related health concerns.

Older pets may develop conditions similar to those seen in aging people, including kidney, liver and heart disease, cancer, arthritis, diabetes and thyroid disorders. Because pets age more rapidly than humans, consistent monitoring becomes increasingly important, and a comprehensive senior wellness evaluation is often recommended once or twice each year to help detect concerns early and maintain a better quality of life.

Preventive screening is a critical component of senior pet care. Routine blood work and urinalysis help establish baseline values unique to each pet, making it easier to identify subtle changes over time.

In addition to annual heartworm and fecal testing recommended for all pets, senior diagnostic screening may include a complete blood count to evaluate red and white blood cells and platelets, blood chemistry testing to assess organ function such as the kidneys, liver and pancreas, urinalysis to detect infections or metabolic conditions and thyroid screening to identify hormonal imbalances. Depending on the findings, additional diagnostics or ongoing monitoring may be recommended to ensure appropriate care as pets age.

Nutritional Counseling

Choosing the right food for a dog or cat involves more than selecting a product a pet will readily eat or one that fits a budget. Pet foods vary widely in quality and formulation, and portion sizes are not always as straightforward as the package directions suggest, since those recommendations are only general guidelines.

Proper nutrition plays a major role in long-term health and may help reduce the risk of concerns such as allergies, nutrient deficiencies, skin and coat problems and obesity. Dietary needs can differ significantly based on factors including age, breed and medical history. For example, senior pets often require different nutrient profiles than puppies or kittens, and animals with conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease may benefit from specialized diets.

The veterinary team at 24th Street Animal Clinic can provide guidance on selecting appropriate foods, determining portion sizes and understanding pet food labels, while also considering financial factors. Individualized nutrition plans are available, including support for pets that need to achieve a healthier weight, and consultations can be scheduled to develop a plan tailored to each pet’s needs.
