Vaccinations & Deworming

All vaccination and deworming protocols are designed to fit the individual needs of your pet. Our goal is to keep all animal and human friends safe and free from infectious disease and zoonotic parasites.

Spay & Neuter

To ensure safety of your pet, all surgeries receive IV catheters and IV fluids while under anesthesia and are monitored closely by qualified veterinary assistants and comprehensive anesthetic monitors. We recommend pre anesthetic bloodwork for all surgery cases as a first line of defense against anesthesia related risks. Most Spays and Neuters are outpatient procedures and we will have your pet home with you that same day.

Hydrosurge Bathing

All baths are completed using a Hydrosurge Bather. This is a high pressure bather that massages as it bathes and rinses. Medicated baths are also available for those special cases with skin problems, such as allergies and seborrhea.

Health Certificates

Health certificates are needed so that your pet may travel safely with you wherever you go. We will be happy to provide a health certificate during any exam. We suggest that you ask the airline what information is needed ahead of time. All airlines and states have different requirements.

Heartworm & Flea Prevention

Fleas love the warm weather as much as we do. We recommend flea preventatives all year round in San Diego , and heartworm prevention is also important for all dogs and cats. A heartworm blood test is required prior to administering any heartworm prevention.

Ultrasound

Ultrasounds are available as a state of the art diagnostic tool. This allows our doctors to view the internal organs and check for masses or other abnormalities.

Orthopedic & Soft Tissue Surgery

Dr. Speir is TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) certified. Many of your pet's orthopedic needs such as knee surgeries and fractures can be accomplished at our facility.

Dentistry

Dental disease is one of the most common diseases seen in our family pets. If left untreated bacteria from the mouth can spread into the blood stream and damage the internal organs. Our focus is to eliminate all present dental disease and educate our clients on proper dental care. All dentals include Oravet dental sealant to prevent bacteria from re-adhering to the teeth and causing tartar. We recommend the OraVet Homecare Kit and brushing as a means to providing healthy mouth care.

Senior Wellness

Most pets are considered seniors after 6-8 years of age and we treat our senior friends with the special care they deserve. At age 6 we recommend running a blood panel and urinalysis in order to catch any early stages of disease, such as diabetes, thyroid disorder or liver and kidney disease. Our team can help you decide the best maintenance plan and diet needed to improve the quality of life and longevity of your longtime friend.

Boarding

We know that you want to take your pet wherever you go; however, we realize that this is not always possible.  We are happy to take care of your pet while you’re away.  We have staff members dedicated to strictly taking care of your pet’s boarding needs such as walking, feeding, brushing and petting.  Call our office for a reservation. We recommend early notice for holidays since we do fill up fast.
