At BestFriends Veterinary Clinic, we believe in fostering strong relationships with our clients while practicing high quality medicine and providing excellent client education. We strive to provide the best care that suits each situation. It is our responsibility to advise our clients and provide them with the best information possible to help them make decisions about the care of their pets. It is also our responsibility to recognize that the course of that care is ultimately the client’s decision, and to understand that every situation is unique and limitations may exist which are beyond our perception. Our clients will always be treated with compassion and understanding as we provide care for their pets.
We offer a wide range of services including medical, diagnostic, surgical, wellness, and preventive health care needs for your pets so they live healthy, happy lives.
Wellness exams are the cornerstone of preventive care. Annual wellness exams help us keep your pet healthy. We make vaccine recommendations based upon your pet’s individual risk factors. We recommend year-round use of heartworm and flea/tick preventatives. And we recommend routine diagnostic testing as your pet ages to enable us to detect diseases and health conditions early, when they can be more readily treated so your pet can live a longer, healthier life.
Dental care is a very important part of your pet’s overall health. More than 85% of dogs and cats over four years of age have periodontal disease, which can lead to many serious medical problems. Routine dental care, including teeth cleaning, a thorough oral exam, and full-mouth x-rays will help keep your pet’s breath fresh and their teeth and gums healthy.
We perform many types of soft tissue surgeries including spays and neuters, mass removals, and bladder and intestinal surgeries. We also work with board-certified surgeons who come to our clinic to perform orthopedic surgeries and other specialized procedures. We monitor our anesthetic patients’ blood pressure, EKG, and oxygen levels, in addition to continuous hands-on monitoring by a veterinary technician to make sure all procedures are as safe as possible.
We utilize a reference laboratory to provide timely, accurate results for diagnostic tests including bloodwork, cultures, and pathology. In addition, our in-house laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art blood chemistry, blood count, and urine analyzers for when we need rapid results. We have digital x-rays, with access to board-certified radiologists to help interpret x-rays if needed.
