Overall

Wow! Again! No appointments available. Some might say that that means they must be good. Not in my book. That means they are understaffed and under accommodated.

Companion Animal Hospital

Preventive Care

Dental Care
Plaque and tartar are visibly present on teeth. Untreated, plaque and tartar can develop into bad breath, tooth loss or worse. Professional dental care is needed.
Vaccination
For the safety of all animals in our care, we require that all vaccinations be up to date. Even though we make every effort to make our patients feel comfortable during visits, they may be a little uneasy about new people, new surroundings and other pets. This is one of the reasons we ask you to restrain your pet. We recommend that animals be placed on a leash or in pet carriers before entering the waiting room.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Behavioral Counseling
Nutritional Counseling
Canine Influenza - A virus which caused respiratory and flu symptoms in dogs including fever, cough and loss of appetite. Dogs that board, attend daycare, frequent dog parks or attend dog shows should be vaccinated against both strains.
Comprehensive Examination
Today's modern anesthetic monitors have made surgery much safer than in the past. Here at Companion Animal Hospital, we do a thorough physical exam on your pet before administering anesthetics, to ensure that a fever or other illness won't be a problem. We also adjust the amount and type of anesthetic used depending on the health of your pet. The handout on anesthesia explains this in greater detail.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
It is important to use good flea and tick control monthly to protect your pet. We recommend Nexgard chewable monthly prevention to kill fleas and ticks before they can transmit a disease to your pet.
Pain Management
Anything that causes pain in people can be expected to cause pain in animals. Pets may not show the same symptoms of pain as people do; they usually don't whine or cry, but you can be sure they feel it. Pain medications needed will depend on the surgery performed. Major procedures require more pain relief than things like minor lacerations.

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
We have a fully equipped laboratory to allow for rapid results and diagnosis of sick pets. Our blood chemistry analyzer allows for quick pre-anesthetic blood screening tests, full blood chemistry profiles and thyroid testing. We monitor diabetics with glucometers, use centrifuges to run fecal parasite examination and have incubators for bacterial and fungal cultures. We have rapid on site tests for heartworm infection, Lyme disease, Feline Leukemia virus and Feline Immunodeficiency virus and Giardia testing. Microscopes are used for blood counts, cytological examinations and skin scrape examination. We utilize pathologists at certified laboratories for tissue biopsy reporting and special tests.
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
DHPP - (Distemper-Hepatitis-Parvo-Parainfluenza virus vaccine) protects against four serious canine viral infections. The initial vaccination series is given at 8,12 and 16 weeks of age and then as recommended.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Dr. Debra Allerhand also offers therapeutic laser treatments. Laser light devices stimulate natural healing processes directly through photo-chemical processes. Photons (light energy) are converted to biochemical energy within cells. This reaction can improve blood supply through vasodilation and reduces tissue swelling and inflammation by inhibiting histamine and other inflammatory mediators. We recommend laser treatments for a variety of conditions including arthritis pain, trauma and post-operative wound healing. Call to schedule an appointment.
Hip Dysplasia Treatment
Lyme - A bacterial infection transmitted by deer ticks which causes joint pain, high fever, loss of appetite and kidney infections.
Diabetes Treatment
Cornell University Feline Health Center - Brochures and videos on how to pill your cat, feline diabetes, brushing your cat's teeth, behavior problems and much more.
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Geriatric Health Panel 13+ years A comprehensive internal organ screen (chem 18) including thyroid testing, electrolytes and red and white cell counts and a urinalysis. Chest and abdominal x-rays for cancer screening. EKG for heart disease.
Heart Disease Treatment
We have a modern surgery equipped with safe Isoflourane gas anesthesia. A trained Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) is present during sterile surgery to care for anesthetized pets. To ensure your pet's safety during anesthesia, each pet is given IV fluids, placed on a warming pad and monitored with a Pulse Oximeter which records their pulse, respiration and oxygen saturation We also have an EKG heart monitor, Doppler blood pressure and esophageal stethoscopes. All pets receive pain medication before and after surgery and are monitored during recovery on a soft blanketed pad. See our Surgical FAQs page for answers to common questions.
Kidney Disease Treatment
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection transmitted by deer ticks and is common in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Infections can cause joint pain and lameness, fever, loss of appetite and in severe cases, kidney failure.
Periodontal Disease Treatment

Wound and Fracture Care
Numerous studies show that neutering reduces aggression, mounting behavior, urine marking and fighting in both cats and dogs. Decreased aggression means fewer bite wounds and reduced risk for potentially fatal infections such as Feline Leukemia virus in cats

Laser Surgery
Spaying and Neutering
Surgical sterilization of females is commonly referred to as spaying. The benefits far out weight simply not having puppies or kittens. Spaying involves removal of the uterus and ovaries. It is ideally performed while the pet is young, prior to the first heat cycle. Here are all the reasons why you should spay your dog or cat...

Laboratory Services
We offer three levels of in-house blood testing before surgery, which we will go over with you when you bring your pet in. Our doctors prefer the more comprehensive screen, because it gives them the most information to ensure the safety of your pet. For geriatric or ill pets, additional blood tests, electrocardiograms, or x-rays may be required before surgery as well.
X-Ray
Digital radiography allows us to rapidly obtain high quality images as well as share x-ray images with radiologists. There is also a digital radiology system at our dental station, it helps us diagnose and treat painful conditions both above and below the gum line. All x-rays can be viewed on computer monitors throughout the office. We also offer Ultrasonography and Echocardiology services with specialists.
Dental Radiology
By five years of age, 95% of all dogs and cats have tooth and gum disease. Signs include bad breath, reddened gums, and plaque and tartar accumulations on teeth. Bacteria from plaque can spread in the blood causing infections of the kidney, liver, lung and heart. To prevent periodontal disease and painful teeth, we recommend regular oral exams and preventive dental care. Like you, your pet will require regular professional dental cleanings to prevent serious infections, mouth pain and tooth loss. Companion Animal Hospital offers digital dental radiography to detect advanced periodontal disease, bone attachment loss, tooth impaction, tooth root infection (pulpitis) and painful tooth abscesses.
