A large part of the information we gather to diagnose and treat your pet comes from testing of blood, urine, fecal samples and tissue samples. Our in-house laboratory is able to give us quick information on a variety of tests. We also rely heavily on an outside commercial Laboratory, university laboratories with extremely high quality standards and several pathologists we can consult

A missing dog or cat can be a terrifying feeling for pet owners and your pet. The best chance for owners to find his or her missing pet is to have a microchip implanted in your pet by a veterinarian. Using implant technology and a national database with the pet owner information, is safe and easy to use which brings peace of mind to the owner of the pet.

Annual preventative care is even more important for senior animals to prevent or delay the diseases that older animals are more prone to, such as osteoarthritis, hormone disorders, organ failure, cancer, and disease of the kidney, heart, and liver. Animals age at a rate of five to seven times that of humans, so regular wellness visits are strongly recommended to make sure that all of your pet’s healthcare needs are being met.

Our professional dental care includes complete ultrasonic scaling, root planing, and polishing. We place your pet under anesthesia and remove plaque and tartar using hand instruments and power scaling equipment (just like your dentist does!). We give your pet’s teeth a thorough ultrasonic cleaning and polishing. We will perform a comprehensive oral exam and check each tooth for movement, gingival pockets, fractures, malocclusion, and periodontal disease, and perform digital dental x-rays.

It can be stressful for both you and your cat to visit the veterinarian. The veterinary visit starts before you even arrive at the veterinary clinic with trying to get your cat in the carrier and the car ride to the practice. Collar City Animal Hospital takes specific extra steps to assure they understand a cat’s unique needs, have implemented feline-friendly standards, and provides a more calming environment, such as feline-only exam rooms. Collar City Animal Hospital team have also been trained in feline-friendly handling and understanding cat behavior in order to increase the quality of care for your cat.

Collar City Animal Hospital is equipped with a state-of-the-art surgical suite and trained veterinarians who perform a wide range of general surgical procedures. Our surgical suite is equipped with the latest anesthesia and patient monitoring equipment. We carefully examine each pet prior to surgery and require that every patient have a pre-anesthetic blood test to evaluate their internal organ function. After examination, anesthetic drugs are individually selected for your pet based on the procedure, their age, breed, and health condition.

Vaccinations play a very important role in your pet’s long-term health and wellness plan. Vaccine’s help prepare your pet’s immune system to fight some very serious disease-causing organisms. Without vaccines your pet is vulnerable. At Collar City Animal Hospital we work with you to set up a safe and personalized schedule for your pet’s vaccinations taking into full consideration age, medical history, environment, travel habits, and lifestyle in mind when it comes to their care.

While lab results can tell us what’s going on inside your pet, our digital X-ray units allow us to actually seer it. We use dental and full body state of the art digital x-ray machines that immediately produce images that our doctors can interpret onsite.

Should your pet need to follow up with a specialist, the digital machines we use allow us to send those images in an instant so there is no delay in your pet getting the care they need when they need it.
