Our Services

Newest-Dental Radiology

Pets need dental care just like people! Our veterinarians can now get to the root of your pet's dental problems with our new digital dental x-ray system. X-rays or radiographs are taken during the dental procedure to evaluate the health of tooth beneath the gum line.

 Since pets don't brush, daily tartar build up occurs and can lead to bad breath and dental disease. Prevention is the best cure, especially for dental disease, so we recommend yearly dental check ups and cleanings.

Preventative Health and Wellness

Our team approach to veterinary care is unique in general practice. We believe that a sick pet benefits from coordinated care from our veterinary team. Our veterinarians have ongoing consultations on hospitalized and outpatients with serious medical problems. Case rounds are held each day for hospital and surgical patients. Grand rounds, for in depth patient discussions, are held midday on Thursdays. Patient radiographs are reviewed by a minimum of two veterinarians. Our team approach is designed so each pet receives the benefit of greater professional expertise and experience.

Of course, wellness visits are an opportunity for your pet to get to meet and bond with one or more of our veterinarians. At the wellness visit our vet techs, who assist the veterinarians, and our veterinarians will help you with your pets preventative health care. Florida's hot climate makes heartworms, parasites and viral diseases a year round concern. Wellness visits are also great time to discuss any changes in your pets appetite or behavior or concerns you may have.

Surgery

Just as it is with a human family member, your pet having surgery is a cause for concern. At St. Johns we understand this concern and operate a quality surgical facility. The anesthetic and surgical protocol is individually designed for each pet. A veterinary surgeon and two surgical assistants attend the pet throughout the procedure. Anesthetic monitors that measure oxygenation, blood pressure pulse and respiration are utilized to measure vital signs.

The pet is recovered from surgery in warm surroundings and carefully monitored while he or she awakes. Our operating room is equipped for a range of surgeries from a spay to major soft tissue trauma. Many pet owners choose to have their pets routine surgeries, such as a spay, performed at our surgical facility because of our individualized care and exacting standards.
