Veterinary Services

Wellness Examinations

Annual wellness examinations are recommended by veterinarians to detect medical conditions in their early stages. When detected early, many conditions may be less difficult and costly to diagnose and treat.  Although age itself is not a disease, it can bring many conditions that - if diagnosed early - can be cured or managed for extended periods of time. Routine examinations and preventative medicine, including heartworm and flea/tick medication, can help to maintain the health of your pet throughout its life.

Immunizations

Vaccinating your pet is a simple procedure that is routinely done by veterinarians.  Vaccines are safe, effective and important to your pet's well being.  Puppies and kittens are usually given their first set of vaccinations at seven to eight weeks of age.  Additional booster vaccinations are given by your veterinarian every three to four weeks until the puppy or kitten is about four months of age.  Adult pets will require repeat vaccinations for the rest of their lives.  The Companion Animal Hospital of Milford will help you determine the schedule that is right for your pet.

Dental Services

Animals require regular dental care, including routine dental cleanings under anesthesia and at home brushing and cleaning. Routine physical examimnations by your veterinarian include a thorough examination of the mouth. Untreated dental disease causes pain, loss of teeth, and can lead to bacterial infections of the internal organs.

Laboratory

Laboratory testing plays an integral role in the detection of changes in your pet's health.  Diagnostic tests can provide essential information to assist in identifying and treating disease.  Pre-anesthetic bloodwork is important for evaluating your pet's health status to increase anesthetic safety.
