Our Services

Services

We emphasize the importance of 6 month wellness examinations and preventative health care including vaccinations, parasite prevention, strategic deworming, dental care, nutrition, senior health screening, client education, and many other areas of internal medicine.  Keeping your pet healthy involves a relationship between you, your pet and your veterinarian.  Through this cooperation, we can prevent disease and promote a long and healthy life for your pet.


Surgical Services:

We offer a complete line of surgical services including orthopedics, soft tissue surgery, spays, neuters, declawing and much more.  We utilize all of the latest surgical techniques and our technicians are licensed in anesthetic monitoring.  We utilize a CO2 laser surgical unit for all of our surgeries. The need for surgery can be a concern for many pet owners.  We want to put you at ease by informing you about the surgical process, recovery, and any potential complications.  Your pet is always a priority to us.


Laser Surgery: Less pain for your pet


Laser surgery has been widely accepted as a higher standard of care in human medicine for over 30 years.  It presents a host of benefits over traditional surgery, and in our procedures, we have replaced the use of the scalpel blade entirely.

     Less pain: since the laser seals nerve endings as it "cuts", your pet will experience less pain and be more comfortable after surgery.

     Less bleeding: Lasers seal small blood vessels during surgery.  Because there is less bleeding, surgery is often completed more quickly which reduces the amount of time your pet is  
                              under anesthesia.  This reduces the potential risk for anesthetic complications. 

     Reduced swelling and infection: There is never a physical contact between the laser and the surgical site.  This eliminates the crushing, tearing and bruising of tissue associated with
                                                            traditional surgical methods.  The CO2 laser energy acts as an antimicrobial/antibacterial agent by producing high temperatures which effectively
                                                            eliminate microorganisms.

     Quick return to normal activities: Healing is rapid and there is less post-operative discomfort and a better course of healing.

Laboratory and X-ray:

Laboratory and X-ray services are an integral part of diagnosis of disease in veterinary medicine today.  Our laboratory utilizes
IDEXX and Heska laboratory equipment and in house diagnostic tests.  This enables our team to provide most urgent blood tests in less than one hour. Through the use of cytology, special staining and parasite collection techniques, we are able to diagnose parasite infestations and screen for cancer. Our X-ray suite employs a state-of-the-art x-ray generator which allows the use of less radiation while providing superior image quality.  X-ray films are developed in 90 seconds.  This technology provides rapid diagnosis and enhances safety for your pet.

Our goal is to maintain a clean and cheerful boarding facility for your pet.  We provide short-term boarding for both dogs and cats.  Mats, towels, food and litter boxes are provided.  We are happy to accommodate any special needs your pet may have including medication administration.

Community:

Our health care team is active in the community.  We provide hospital tours and programs to a number of nursery school, scout and other civic organizations every year.  Dr. Will is active in The Alden Chamber of Commerce, and The Alden Mennonite Church.  We also provide opportunities for youth interested in veterinary medicine and internship opportunities for veterinary technician students.  If your organization could benefit from an animal related program, please let us know.
