Heartworm Tests
Heartworm is a parasitic roundworm (Dirofilaria immitis) that is spread from host to host through the bites of mosquitoes. The definitive host is the dog but it can also infect cats, wolves, coyotes, foxes and other animals, such as ferrets, sea lions and even humans. The parasite is commonly called "heartworm" because the adult reproductive stage of its life cycle resides primarily in the pulmonary artery of its host where it can live for many years. Heartworm infection may result in serious disease for the host; infected dogs that are untreated may die and treatment also has risks.
The SNAP 3Dx Test is the standard of care for annual parasite screening. It provides an accurate, in-house result in just eight minutes.
FeLV-infected cats are found worldwide, but the prevalence of infection varies greatly depending on their age, health, environment, and lifestyle. Cats persistently infected with FeLV serve as sources of infection. Virus is shed in very high quantities in saliva and nasal secretions, but also in urine, feces, and milk from infected cats. Cat-to-cat transfer of virus may occur from a bite wound, during mutual grooming, and (though rarely) through the shared use of litter boxes and feeding dishes. Transmission can also take place from an infected mother cat to her kittens, either before they are born or while they are nursing.
SNAP® FeLV Antigen Test
Confidently determine FeLV status in a brief appointment. Offers prevaccination confidence for early detection to help care for cats and prevent the spread of this contagious disease.

The purpose of polishing tooth surfaces is to make these surfaces smooth which makes it more difficult for plaque and debris to accumulate on the teeth to cause decay or gum disease

Gas anesthesia
Isoflurane is one of the newest and safest type of inhalation anesthetics used in small animal practice. In most cases a preanesthetic injection is given to sedate the patient, then the gas is administered with a mask over the muzzle. Once the pet is sleeping, an endotracheal tube is placed, and the gas anesthesia is ready to be delivered. Many patients control their own level of anesthesia. When they are not deep enough they will breath harder, inhaling more anesthetic and going back to sleep. When the patient is at the correct level, the respiration will decrease and breath less gas. After the procedure is finished your dog or cat simply breathes off the medication and recovers quickly.
Heart Monitoring
Electrosurgery
One of the major advantages of electrosurgery over scalpel surgery is concurrent hemostasis. Another is that microbes in the path of the electrode are volatized along with the target tissue, sterilizing the incision or excision as it goes. This reduces post-operative infection rates, of interest in veterinary medicine particularly in emergency situations where site prep time is limited.
