ANNUAL WELLNESS EXAMS & VACCINATIONS

At Eastern Slopes Veterinary Services we provide 30 minute appointments to complete a thorough physical exam on your pet. If you have any concerns with your pet please mention this at the time of booking the appointment so we can be sure that we allot enough time for our doctors to address the issues. In today’s’ society our animals are subjected to a variety of different situations, from daily visits to the doggy daycare, frequent visits to hospitals or children’s groups, romps in the off leash parks and our little fur babies that never leave the home. Because of this diversity we believe that vaccine requirements and parasite control should be tailored to the lifestyle your pet leads.

 

DENTAL SERVICES

Dental health is one of the most important aspects of the overall health of your animal. With regular annual exams we are able to monitor the dental health of your animal.

 If it becomes evident that your pet may require some attention to address dental disease, whether it is a routine teeth cleaning to multiple extractions, we are fully equipped to provide the service that your pet requires

RADIOLOGY

X-rays are a great diagnostic tool and at Eastern Slopes we are happy to provide this to our patients. Just across the hall from our exam rooms is our radiology area where we are able to take digital x-rays and view images instantly .

ULTRASONOGRAPHY

Ultrasound is also a great source of diagnostic imaging. We use ultrasound to supplement information gleaned from radiographs and often it is used to get a wonderful visual inside the animal in a very non-invasive manner. From cardiac to abdominal scans, ultrasound is a very useful diagnostic tool that is used frequently! For example, we use ultrasound to safely obtain a sterile urine sample, to diagnose bladder stones, to diagnose tumors or other abnormalities.

SURGICAL SUITES

The surgical suites at Eastern Slopes boast a bright spacious work area with all the tools necessary to provide high quality surgical procedures to our patients. We offer elective surgeries such as cat spay & neuters and dog spay & neuters as well as some orthopedic surgeries, abdominal surgeries and let’s not forget about the cesarean sections!

At our new facility, we provide surgical suites for specialty surgeons to come in and complete surgery that needs to be done, including Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomies (TPLO’s). By allowing these specialty surgeons to use our suites, we can help reduce your travel time, as well as your pet’s anxiety, as they will be used to coming to our clinic. Our Eastern Slopes staff will provide anesthesia and care alongside these specialty surgeons to allow for consistency, and continuity of care, as we know our Eastern Slopes Family!

LABORATORY SERVICES

The clinic is equipped with a full in-house laboratory which is used to run complete blood profiles, urinalysis, fecals and cytology.

 We are able to collect our samples, run the tests required and provide results in a short amount of time. This service is very valuable in providing a diagnosis when time is of the essence.

ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION SERVICES

The most common form of animal Identification is a collar fitted with a tag that includes a current contact number along with your pet’s name. This works well if your pet wears his or her collar at all times! In some cases our little furry friends happen to slip out of their collars or don’t happen to be wearing them at the time they make a break through the back yard gate!

Below are the forms of animal identification that Eastern Slopes can provide for tracking for your pets:

  • Rabies Tag:  Rabies tags are given every time your dog or cat has been vaccinated for Rabies, and can be added to your pet’s collar. These tags have an identification number on them, which is linked to you, as the owner, and your pet.
  • Tattoos: Tattoos are placed in the right ear while the animal is under anesthesia. The most convenient time to do this is when the pet is spayed or neutered. However, we are able to do it at anytime using an anesthetic, which would require your pet to spend a few hours at Eastern Slopes. 
  • Microchips:  Microchips are also available, can provide detailed pet information, and are easily inserted under the skin between the shoulder blades of your pet. It is a quick procedure that can be done during a regular office visit.

 These forms of animal identification have proven to be invaluable in the recovery of many lost pets.  We recommend having a combination of identification methods.

RETAIL AREA

Our retail area is stocked with a multitude of products that are specific to the health of your furry friends. From joint supplements to treats formulated to help with dental health. Let’s not forget about the squeaky toys that might be a special treat for a well behaved pet during his or her visit with the doctor!
