ADDITIONAL VETERINARY SERVICES

Geriatric Pet Care

We provide special attention to aging pets focusing on preventative measures and  the early detection and treatment of problems.  Older patients commonly experience the same problems that older humans do – heart problems, diabetes, arthritis, chronic renal insufficiency, dental problems, hearing and vision loss, etc. Many of these conditions we can treat to extend and improve your older pet’s quality of life.

Wellness Examinations

We recommend a complete physical exam for your pet on a yearly basis.  Lots of changes can occur from year to year, especially as your pet gets older.  Preventative health care recommendations are made based on examination findings and your pet’s individual needs and situation, which you help us to determine.  This may include blood, urine, or fecal tests, vaccinations, dietary or exercise advice, and life-style changes.

Pain Management

We know the issue of pain management is of great concern to pet owners today. As in human medicine, we have a variety of medications available to manage your pet’s pain both before and after surgery and in the event of trauma.  We would be pleased to discuss the options available to you and your pet under any of the above circumstances.

Pet Dental Care

At Northern Valley Animal Clinic we have the capability to perform many veterinary dentistry services making us unique in the Rochester area.  Dental problems can lead to gingivitis and other dental conditions that can threaten your pet's health. Our Scaling and Polishing unit is remarkably similar to that used by most human dentists. 

Vaccinations

Vaccinating your pets against disease is one of the most important aspects of pet health care.  Proper vaccination can spare your pets from such potentially deadly diseases as rabies, distemper and feline leukemia.  Vaccinations must be re-administered periodically to protect your pets from diseases and keep them healthy for a lifetime.

Ear Problems

With the Auriflush system we can quickly respond to nasty ear infections with a soothing treatment.  The Auriflush System's innovative Hydrovac Action features simultaneous irrigation and suction, which means a cleaner and safer procedure for you and your pet.

Eye Problems

Using a state-of-the-art device called a Tonopen, we are able to accurately measure your pet’s intraocular pressure with this quick, painless procedure. We use this diagnostic test any time we have a patient with a “red eye” and for glaucoma screening tests.

Pet Nutrition

Whether your pet is fighting a weight problem or requires a special diet in conjunction with health care management and treatment, our Staff will counsel you on the many nutritional options that are available to pet owners.

Behavior Modification

Often times, behavior modification techniques can help your pet to live a happier and healthier life.

We offer behavioral counseling for dogs and cats concerning such issues as separation anxiety, aggression, inappropriate urination, and many other problems that your pets may be experiencing.
