Our Services
Health Check Up
Your vet will assess your dog thoroughly at a check–up to look for any signs of illness or other problems. He or she will generally start by weighing your dog, and will check their body condition, skin and fur, eyes and ears, teeth and mouth, and feel around the body, limbs and tail for any potential issues. The vet may look for fleas or other parasites and will administer vaccinations if due. Where teeth exhibit tartar, your vet may recommend a dental procedure.
It’s a good idea to have a chat about any concerns you might have. If the vet feels there may be an issue, he or she would generally suggest further testing. Depending on the potential problem, this might involve a blood test or x–ray.
deworming
Worming schedules will vary depending on the product and your dog’s age, as mentioned below, regarding Pyrantel in young puppies. Typically puppies will be treated every two to three weeks for two or three treatments to ensure elimination of roundworms and hookworms. Adult dogs are typically wormed when specific parasites are found on microscopic exam of stool samples, except in cases of bloody diarrhea where whipworms are suspected, since these parasites are difficult to diagnose on many stool samples. Monthly heartworm Preventatives will often be effective in killing other parasites such as hookworms and roundworms, as well as in preventing whipworms. Veterinarians usually won’t worm pregnant dogs until after delivery, since most puppies will be born with roundworms no matter how often adult pets are wormed.
Vaccination
Vaccines help prevent many illnesses that affect pets. Vaccinating your pet has long been considered one of the easiest ways to help him live a long, healthy life. Not only are there different vaccines for different diseases, there are different types and combinations of vaccines. Vaccination is a procedure that has risks and benefits that must be weighed for every pet relative to his lifestyle and health. Your veterinarian can determine a vaccination regime that will provide the safest and best protection for your individual animal.
diagnostic and treatment for ailing pets
A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that allows your doctor to check for diseases in your body. The scan uses a special dye containing radioactive tracers. These tracers are either swallowed, inhaled, or injected into a vein in your arm depending on what part of the body is being examined. Certain organs and tissues then absorb the tracer.
When detected by a PET scanner, the tracers help your doctor to see how well your organs and tissues are working. The tracer will collect in areas of higher chemical activity, which is helpful because certain tissues of the body, and certain diseases, have a higher level of chemical activity. These areas of disease will show up as bright spots on the PET scan.
deticking
Beyond their natural gross-out factor, the main problem with ticks is that they can transmit a number of diseases, including Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease, and–in the case of the female wood tick–something called tick paralysis.
As May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, now is a good time to also go over some tips for keeping Lyme-carrying ticks off your dog. Here’s what you can do to treat your dog for ticks, when you should see a vet, and how to prevent tick bites in the future.
minor surgery
Minor surgery is any invasive operative procedure in which only skin or mucus membranes and connective tissue is resected e.g. vascular cutdown for catheter placement, implanting pumps in subcutaneous tissue. Procedures in which the surgical field cannot be effectively disinfected, e.g. tooth extractions and gingival grafts, will generally be considered minor. This category also includes biopsy, an invasive operative procedure for procurement of tissue samples or body fluids using a needle or trocar. Minor surgical procedures may be done in a laboratory setting using appropriate aseptic technique, including a clean work area, preparation and disinfection of the surgical site including clipping of the hair and surgical scrub of the skin, draping of the surgical site with sterile drapes, mask by the surgeon and any assistants working in the surgical field.
castration / spaying surgery to prevent your pet from Breeding
In males, the operation is called castration and in females it’s called spaying. With castration both testicles are removed which takes away the main source of the male hormone testosterone. With spaying, both the ovaries and usually the uterus are removed which means the female is unable to become pregnant.
Consultancy for rearing pets
Pet brands, retailers, service providers, distributors and investors alike turn to L.E.K.’s global team of experts for help navigating the pet industry. Positive macro trends are fueling continued spending growth in pet food, products and services.
