Regular Health Examinations:
It is important to detect medical problems as early as possible, just as periodic checkups are reassuring, even if no problem exists. The preventative care that starts with a puppy or kitten will pay extra dividends once your companion becomes older.

Vaccination & Parasite Prevention:
Most pet owners already know that one of the most effective ways of protecting their pet's health is to provide immunization against many common, and potentionally harmful diseases. Ask us about the Lyme and FIV vaccines.

Another important part of pet health is the prevention of internal parasites. One of the most effective ways to protect your pet and your family is to use a parasite prevention product year round. Ask us about our wide selection of products such as Sentinel, Heartgard and Revolution.

Dietary Accessment & Planning:
A complete diet is vital to the health of your pet at any age. We are available to discuss a nutritional plan to fit your pet's special needs. We offer a wide range of nutritional products that target specific aspects of your pet's health such as dietary control and maintenance; growth and performance; and prescription diets to aid in the treatment of certain diseases. We provide Hill's Prescription Diets, IVD, Eukanuba, Purina, etc. for your convenience.

Ultrasound & Radiographic Diagnostics:
These valuable, non-invasive and painless diagnostic tools enable us to study internal organs and skeletal systems without surgery. We can schedule cardiac or abdominal ultrasounds by appointment.

Laboratory Services:
We are equipped with an in-house laboratory that yields accurate and immediate results. Our capabilities include: complete blood counts, assorted chemistry panels, electrolyte panels, individual chemistry testing, urinalyses and cytology. We also offer Giardia, Parvo, Heartworm, Felv/FIV, and parasite screening. For specialty tests or pathology, we are able to refer specimens to outside laboratories that often generate results the next day.

Laser Surgery:
We are one of the few veterinary hospitals that have laser surgery. Headed by Dr. Lenette Renier DiCiaula and Dr. Roger Schrock, laser surgery provides many benefits to our patients including less pain, less bleeding, and faster recovery periods. Ask our staff if laser surgery is appropriate for your pet.

Tele-medicine Consultation:
We have capabilities of consulting with specialists throughout the world. Without leaving the hospital, we can get a specialist's diagnosis on x-rays, blood tests, and even ECGs for pets with heart conditions.

Emergency Services:
We know that emergencies will occasionally happen. Therefore, if we are unavailable after hours, we recommend taking your pet to Chicago Veterinary Emergency Service, a state-of-the-art, full service emergency hospital. The after hours number is 773-281-7110. For those of you living north of us, we also refer to Animal 911 at 847-328-9110.
