Wellness Exams
Regular wellness exams are essential to your pet's preventative care routine, ongoing wellness, and longevity.

Our wellness exams and services are designed to keep your pets as healthy as possible by optimizing their wellness and preventing avoidable illness.

Vaccinations
Pet vaccines are one of the best ways to safeguard your pet's health.
Vaccines are designed to protect your pets and family from a variety of dangerous and highly contagious diseases - some of which are zoonotic, meaning they can be transmitted between animals and humans.
At White Haven Veterinary Hospital, pet vaccines are an essential component of our preventative care services.
Vaccines are considered to be incredibly safe for pets, and the benefits far outweigh the potential risks.
Although there is some risk of allergic reactions, actual adverse events are rare.

Senior Pet Care
Our furry friends provide us with love and companionship throughout their lives, and, as they age, the care we provide for them needs to be adjusted.
When a cat or dog gets older, their aging doesn't mean they need to slow down; with the right veterinary care, nutritional adjustments, and lifestyle changes, they can continue romping, playing, snuggling, and cuddling.
Although cats, large dogs, and small dogs all have different life expectancies, most pets are considered to be senior or geriatric at around age seven.

Surgery
No matter the type of procedure at-hand, it can be stressful when your pet needs surgery.
At White Haven Veterinary Hospital, our veterinarians work with the utmost care and attention using state-of-the-art surgical tools and equipment to put your mind at ease.
We always recommend the least-invasive treatment option that will still be effective, and we'll answer all your questions to ensure you completely understand the recommended procedure and your pet's full range of treatment options.
Prior to your pet's surgery, we'll perform a physical examination and run a blood panel to ensure your pet's healthy enough to undergo general anesthesia for the procedure.

Dental
Unfortunately, dental cleanings, exams, and daily dental hygiene habits are often overlooked when it comes to our pets' teeth.
We, humans, have well-developed dental hygiene habits, but our furry friends don't have the thumbs to hold a toothbrush.
That's why, when it comes to dental care, they need our help.
Just like humans, pets have harmful bacteria growing in their mouths.
They're also prone to tooth decay and gum (periodontal) disease.
Not only can poor dental care lead to tooth loss, infection, pain, and discomfort for pets, but it can also harm their overall health, too.

Diagnostics
Before veterinarians can safely and successfully treat sick or injured pets, they have to understand what's causing the illness or fully understand the extent of the pet's injury.
Diagnostic testing is usually necessary for reaching a definitive diagnosis and providing effective treatment to a sick or injured pet.
With a combination of in-house diagnostics and traveling diagnostic veterinary specialists, White Haven Veterinary Hospital is fully equipped to provide patients with thorough and accurate diagnoses.

Weight Management
According to the American Animal Hospital Association, more than half of dogs and cats in the U.S. are considered overweight or obese.
Just like excess weight causes health problems for humans, a few extra pounds can do serious damage to a pet's health, leading to problems like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, joint and mobility issues, and more.
Left unaddressed, obesity can significantly diminish his or her quality of life and even shorten a pet's lifespan.
Healthy cats and dogs should have a visible waistline.

Behavioral Counseling
We love dogs and cats, but inviting them into our homes only works when we provide them with training that helps them understand the types of behaviors we expect and those which are unacceptable.
Without proper training, our pets would have the run of the house and wouldn't be very pleasant to live with.
At White Haven Veterinary Hospital, our veterinarians can help you get started with teaching your dog or cat how to behave properly in addition to helping you eliminate unwanted behaviors and behavior-related problems such as aggression, separation anxiety, and general unruliness.

Puppy & Canine Training
We love dogs for their energy, affection, companionship, and canine attitudes that are equal parts excitability and positivity.
However, keeping a pup's exuberant behavior within reasonable limits can be challenging to say the least.
Having an untrained dog living in your home, walking on a leash, interacting with other pets, or helping you greet your guests can be problematic.
Offering the proper training and setting aside time to work with your puppy or adult canine every day is the best way to enjoy your dog's lovely personality while keeping his or her energy and behaviors reasonably in check.

Feline Radioactive Iodine Therapy I-131
Hyperthyroidism is one of the most commonly diagnosed endocrine (hormonal) disorders in cats.
This serious disease affects middle-aged and older cats (about 10% of cats over 10).
The average age of diagnosis is at around nine years, but cats as young as five have been diagnosed.
While life-long medication and surgery exist to treat hyperthyroidism in cats, the most effective and preferred treatment is radioactive iodine therapy (I-131 therapy).
After a single treatment, 95% of cats with hyperthyroidism are cured.

Ultrasound
The first step in providing veterinary care to a pet is obtaining a thorough assessment of their health.
Sometimes, this assessment needs to look deeper than a basic physical examination.
When this is the case, our veterinarians turn to a variety of diagnostic tools, including veterinary ultrasounds, to determine a pet's exact physical condition and to diagnose a variety of health concerns.
An ultrasound (sonogram) is a powerful diagnostic imaging tool used in both veterinary and mainstream medicine.

Grooming
At White Haven Veterinary Hospital, we're proud to offer complete grooming services in addition to full-service veterinary care.
Parasite Prevention - In addition to parasite preventatives, clean skin and a well-brushed coat will help eliminate parasites from your pet.
Reduced Infection Risk - Regular bathing will keep your pet's ears and everything else clean, which means less risk of bacterial and fungal infections.
Additionally, a professional grooming appointment reduces the risk of accidentally cutting your pet while trimming hair at home.
