Preventative Care
Annual wellness exams detect early health issues through physical evaluations and lab work. Our McKinney veterinarians recommend yearly check-ups to monitor vaccinations, parasite prevention, and chronic conditions. Services include heartworm testing, fecal exams, and tailored vaccination protocols for dogs and cats. Preventative care extends pet lifespans by addressing potential problems before they escalate into serious illnesses.
Diagnostic Imaging
Digital X-rays and ultrasounds provide detailed internal views for accurate diagnoses. Our board-certified echographers use advanced technology to assess organ function, detect tumors, and evaluate skeletal structures. Ultrasound-guided biopsies and pregnancy monitoring ensure precise, minimally invasive diagnostics. In-house lab testing delivers rapid results for blood work, urinalysis, and allergy assessments.
Dental Services
Comprehensive dental care prevents oral disease through annual cleanings and digital radiography. Under anesthesia, we perform ultrasonic scaling, extractions, and periodontal treatments. Post-operative care includes pain management and home care guidance. Early intervention reduces risks of systemic infections from untreated dental conditions in dogs and cats.
ACL Surgery
Specialized ACL repair techniques like TPLO, ECR, and Tightrope procedures restore mobility in dogs. Our orthopedic surgeons treat cranial cruciate ligament injuries with post-operative rehabilitation plans. Advanced pain management protocols ensure comfortable recoveries over 8-12 weeks. We emphasize weight control and physical therapy to prevent secondary injuries.
Senior Pet Care
Semi-annual check-ups monitor age-related conditions like arthritis and diabetes in pets over seven years. Diagnostic panels assess kidney, liver, and thyroid function through blood work and urinalysis. Customized pain management plans combine medication, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments to maintain quality of life for senior dogs and cats.
