Veterinary Wellness Meets Warmth
Canine Care
Wellness & Prevention
No matter your dog’s age or stage of life, annual physical exams can mean everything for their ongoing well-being. Regular preventive care is one of the most effective ways to identify and address health issues before they escalate. Just as humans benefit from routine checkups, our dogs can too—these visits allow us to catch diseases early, and ensure a longer, happier life for your best companion.
Your dog's aging journey is not just a matter of the years they've lived; it is intricately influenced by their size, weight, and breed. That's why annual physical exams are not only crucial—they are vital.
These one-on-one sessions allow us to deeply assess your dog's health, uncover any hidden concerns, and provide tailored care that meets their specific needs. By prioritizing these checkups, you are prioritizing your dog’s vibrant life as they age.
​
We aspire to form collaborative partnerships with you and other veterinary providers as well. Together, we're committed to redefining the standard for how we take care of both pets and the people who love them.
Diagnostics
We recognize that you are your dog's most passionate advocate. Typically, while dogs can't express how they feel when something is amiss, you play a pivotal role in being attentive to your pet.
We go beyond a standard physical examination and offer an array of advanced in-house diagnostic services. Our state-of-the-art digital X-rays accurately diagnose injuries, staging osteoarthritis, and address any respiratory or gastrointestinal concerns. By collaborating with top radiologists, we ensure precise interpretations of every image, allowing us to uncover internal issues such as obstructions, pneumonia, arthritis, tumors, and more.
Likewise, our ultrasound and echocardiogram services provide unmatched insight into soft tissue conditions. These advanced imaging techniques allow us to examine your dog's internal organs with incredible clarity.
​
We are proud to partner with Franimals Solutions, a local, privately owned Company, and Dr. Jessica Larson from Music City Pet Internal Medicine- they both leverage their expertise to help us design the most effective health plans tailored specifically for your little one.
Dental Health
Routine oral health care is essential for maintaining your dog's healthiness. Periodontal disease begins as a bacterial film, known as plaque, that adheres to the teeth. When the bacteria die, they can bond with the calcium present in saliva, resulting in the formation of tartar or calculus.
This hard substance facilitates additional plaque accumulation. Veterinary research indicates that 80-90% of dogs, over the age of three, experience some form of periodontal disease. This bacteria can travel to the heart and lodge in the heart valves and tissues, causing inflammation of the heart's inner lining. Studies have shown that dogs with periodontal disease are at a higher risk for developing heart problems.
Certain breeds are genetically predisposed, and smaller or older dogs are typically more susceptible. So, allow our team to examine and assess your dog’s periodontal conditions regularly.
​
It is important to recognize the signs that may indicate a need for dental cleaning, including persistent bad breath, red or bleeding gums, visible tartar—especially concentrated at the gumline—difficulty or pain while chewing, pawing at the mouth, and excessive drooling.We conduct full mouth radiographs because approximately 40% of dental disease in dogs is concealed beneath the gum line and can only be detected via dental X-rays.
​
After that, our experienced team carefully scales any tartar buildup and evaluates each tooth's condition. To ensure the utmost safety during the cleaning process, pets are intubated and placed under gas anesthesia, commonly referred to as general anesthesia.We implement a light anesthesia protocol, with an anesthetic nurse assigned to monitor the patient throughout the procedure. Vital signs, including heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, temperature, and blood oxygen levels, are continuously monitored and recorded. Prioritizing your dog's dental health is important to your dog’s overall well-being.
Surgery
Before any anesthetic procedure, we carefully assess your dog's internal organ function, electrolytes, and blood cell count to ensure they are within a safe, appropriate range for anesthesia.
Each dog undergoes a thorough physical examination, including listening to their heart and lungs, to ensure they are fit for surgery. Based on the results of their individualized lab work and physical exam, along with the specific procedure being performed, our experienced veterinarians craft a custom anesthesia plan focused on your furry friend’s safety and comfort.
Once your dog is ready, we administer premedications to help them relax while we place an IV catheter. Throughout the entire surgical procedure, your dog’s attentive nurse will continuously monitor vital signs—heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, temperature, and blood oxygen levels—making sure that every detail of your pet's well-being is closely observed and recorded.
​
Each canine patient is intubated and maintained with gentle gas anesthesia, while also receiving an IV catheter and intravenous fluids. This approach not only stabilizes blood pressure, but also assists your dog’s body in effectively processing calm anesthetic drugs for their experience. After the procedure, your precious pup will recover in a cozy treatment room, with a caring nurse by their side to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.
We also collaborate with trusted partners like Blue Pearl Specialty Hospital, Nashville Veterinary Specialists, and APEX Surgical Center- to ensure that when it comes to your dog’s care, only the finest, board-certified surgeons are involved. Your canine companion deserves nothing less than exceptional care every step of the way.
