NEW BORN:
​Congratulations on welcoming a new member to your family! To ensure your puppy or kitten receives the best care, we invite you for a complete physical exam, where we’ll address any concerns you may have. The examination begins with weighing your pet, followed by a discussion about their health history to identify any potential issues. Our veterinarian will then conduct a thorough physical exam and recommend steps to keep your new companion healthy and happy.

ADULT  PET:
​As a responsible pet owner, maintaining your pet’s physical health and well-being is a shared goal with our veterinarians. Routine physical examinations are essential for ensuring your pet’s ongoing good health. Regular checkups are important because animals instinctively hide health issues and, since they can’t communicate, it can be challenging to detect when they’re unwell. That’s why an annual complete physical exam is crucial for early disease detection, especially for senior pets.

Pets are generally considered geriatric at around age 7, which is roughly equivalent to 50-55 human years, with the age equivalences increasing as follows: 10 years equals 65-75 years, 15 years equals 75-100 years, and 20 years equals 95-110 years. Older pets may face various health problems, including cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, and joint or bone issues. To help your senior pet stay healthy, it’s essential to monitor their appetite, drinking behavior, urine output, weight changes, and activity levels, as any alterations in these signs can indicate potential health issues. Regular semi-annual veterinary checkups, specific diets for senior pets, yearly bloodwork to assess internal organ functions, and weight monitoring are crucial for early disease detection. Additionally, mobile services can offer convenience for your pet’s care.

As a pet owner, deciding when to say goodbye is one of the hardest choices you’ll face, and you know your pet best in assessing their quality of life. If you need guidance, don’t hesitate to ask our team; when you’re ready, simply contact our clinic, and we’ll support you through the process.

We offer in-home euthanasia services, allowing your pet to be in a familiar environment during this personal choice. After discussing your wishes and signing a consent form, our veterinarian will administer a sedation injection to ensure your pet is calm before the final injection, which is similar to an anesthetic for a painless transition. The procedure is typically quick and peaceful, though some involuntary movements may occur as your pet relaxes.
​
You can choose to be present during the process, as many find comfort in being with their pet during their final moments. However, we fully understand if you prefer not to be there; there will be time for you to say goodbye afterward.
If you choose cremation, you can opt for a private cremation, where your pet is individually cremated and you receive their ashes along with a memorial paw print, or a general cremation, where your pet is cremated with others and their ashes are not returned.
In addition to euthanasia, we offer various services, including surgeries, heartworm, flea and tick prevention, medical services, and microchipping.

Spaying and neutering: Refers to surgical procedures to prevent reproduction in pets. Spaying involves the complete removal of a female dog or cat’s ovaries and uterus, while neutering refers to the removal of the testicles in male dogs and cats. These procedures are important for your pet’s health; spaying helps protect females from potentially fatal conditions like pyometra (a severe infection of the uterus) and decreases the risk of mammary gland cancer. Neutering reduces the risk of prostate cancer in males and can help mitigate behavioral problems.

Soft Tissue Surgeries: At our hospital, we routinely perform surgeries to address a wide range of conditions affecting pets, including issues related to the ears, eyes, mouth, gastrointestinal tract, urogenital system, wound management, hormonal disorders, and hernias. Pets can show various clinical signs of illness, such as lethargy, lumps, or urinary problems, and after thorough investigations, we often find that surgery is the most effective treatment option.

​Our veterinarians perform a variety of surgeries with the highest standards of care and sterility, focusing on safe anesthesia, intraoperative pain management, and careful monitoring to ensure quick recovery and minimize complications. Our dedicated nursing team closely monitors your pet from admission to discharge, ensuring they are comfortable, warm, and well-fed throughout their stay. We believe that a contented patient is more likely to recover quickly and successfully.​

Dental: Statistics show that good oral hygiene is rare among pets, with many becoming vulnerable to or already having some form of oral disease by age 2. Dental disease can significantly reduce a pet’s quality of life and life expectancy.  At Wilson Road Veterinary Clinic, we aim to maintain excellent dental health for your pets. Many owners may not realize the importance of regular dental check-ups, believing their pet’s dental health is fine if there are no visible problems.

However, untreated dental issues can lead to serious conditions such as gingivitis, dental abscesses, tooth loss, pain, liver disease, kidney disease, and bone infections, often resulting in extreme pain and discomfort.

​Prevention is key to good pet dental hygiene, and establishing a preventative dental program can be simple yet rewarding. This may include special diets, dental treats, tooth brushing, and routine cleanings to help prevent dental disease. Symptoms to watch for include bad breath, reluctant chewing, increased salivation, unusual pawing at the face, bleeding gums, missing or loose teeth, increased tartar buildup, and swollen gums. Unfortunately, pets often do not show signs of dental disease, even when it is severe, making regular dental examinations by our veterinarians essential.

Good dental hygiene is as important for pets as it is for humans. Don’t wait until it’s too late—contact us today for tips on maintaining your pet’s oral health and to schedule an appointment with our dental team.

We love pets just as much as you do. The veterinarians at Wilson Road Veterinary Clinic combine compassion, commitment, and skill to provide excellent medical care for your pets. We prioritize your pet’s comfort before administering any treatment and ensure that pet owners are fully informed about medical procedures to alleviate worries and concerns. Our focus is entirely on the patient in front of us at all times.

Pets over 8 weeks old must be microchipped. A microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under your pet’s skin and carries a unique number that can be read with a special scanner. If your pet gets lost or stolen, vets, local authorities, and welfare organizations can check the microchip to help return your pet quickly. Please ask at reception for more details.​
