Our approach to veterinary medicine
is based on our desire to help your pet live a long, healthy life. Whether your pet walks, swims, slithers or flies they are a vital, irreplaceable part of your life and we are honored when you entrust us with their care. We provide a variety of services designed not only to help your pet get better, but to prevent them from getting sick, as well.
Care for Older Pets
As your pet ages potentially more health issues arise. Many older pets have arthritis or dental disease. Some develop heart or kidney disease. We often do blood tests on our older patients to diagnose these conditions early before they are a major problem for your pet. They can be started on prescription diets and/or medications to keep them healthy, active and happy. For many of our older pets twice a year physical examinations are recommended.
Dental Cleaning and Polishing
Since most dogs and cats teeth are not brushed our pets need to have their teeth cleaned and polished similar to when we visit our dentist. Many dogs and cats over 4 years of age have some dental disease causing bad breath. Some small breed dogs start developing dental disease at 2-3 years of age. Older pets are more likely to have dental and gum disease. Infection around the teeth and gums can spread to other organs causing disease in the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys.
Digital X-Rays
We have updated X-ray equipment that produces digital images on a computer screen. In addition to digital images being of better quality, we can send your pet's X-rays to a specialist online or produce disks for further evaluation by radiologists.
Whether administering preventative vaccinations, diagnosing an illness, treating an injury, you can trust Cherry Hill Dog & Cat Hospital for all your veterinary needs.
