Services
Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine at Long Lake Animal Hospital utilizes stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to treat conditions like osteoarthritis and soft tissue injuries. These therapies harness your pet's natural healing cells to repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility. Our AAHA-accredited protocols ensure safe, low-risk treatments tailored to your pet's specific needs.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy provides non-invasive pain relief and accelerates healing for pets with chronic conditions or post-surgical recovery. Using targeted light energy, this treatment reduces inflammation, alleviates pain, and stimulates cellular regeneration. It is ideal for managing arthritis, wounds, and orthopedic injuries in a drug-free manner.
Animal Rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation services include underwater treadmills, therapeutic exercises, and hydrotherapy to restore mobility and strength. Designed for pets recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions like hip dysplasia, these programs are customized to enhance quality of life and promote long-term wellness.
Wellness Exams
Annual and bi-annual wellness exams ensure early detection of diseases in pets. These comprehensive check-ups include vaccinations, bloodwork, and dental assessments to maintain optimal health. Senior pets receive specialized screenings to address age-related concerns proactively.
Urgent Care
Urgent care is available for pets requiring immediate medical attention outside regular hours. Our team handles emergencies like trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses with rapid diagnostics and treatment, ensuring critical care when time matters most.
