Best Friends Pet Care

Preventive Care

Dental Care
A healthy mouth is an essential part of overall body health. As pets are living longer than ever before, we see more animals whose most severe medical problems are oral. To prevent oral disease, which is the number one health problem diagnosed in pets, it is essential to provide dental care, both professionally and at home.
Vaccination
Vaccines are an important part of preventative medicine. Immunizations are one of the primary tools we use to protect our pets from serious and life-threatening diseases. Vaccination is a means of producing immunity against pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, by the introduction of live, killed, or modified antigens that stimulate the body to produce antibodies against more dangerous forms.
Nutritional Counseling
Cats can also develop feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions or FORLs. This problem is characterized by resorption (breaking down) of the teeth. Erosions on the surface of a tooth appear at the gingival border and are very painful, and affected teeth are often covered with calculus or gingival tissue. It is a progressive disease, usually starting with the loss of cementum and dentin and leading to penetration of the pulp cavity. Symptoms of FORLs include mouth pain (caused by dentin exposure), usually while chewing, anorexia, dehydration, weight loss, and tooth fracture. It is one of the most common diseases of domestic cats, affecting up to two-thirds, and is especially common in purebred cats.
Comprehensive Examination
All animals should have an annual examination. Because animals age differently than people, their annual physical is comparable to you having a physical exam every five or six years.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Behavioral Disorder Treatment
We have been using other recombinant vaccines at our clinic for some time, including our canine distemper/parvo combination, our lyme bacterin as well as our feline PRC combination. We have been reluctant to switch to the recombinant rabies vaccine for two reasons. This vaccine must be administered annually as opposed to the killed rabies vaccine that we have given every three years. There are studies being conducted trying to prove the recombinant vaccine lasts longer than one year, but, to date, the recommendation is still annual. The second reason is the recombinant vaccine costs more. Our killed rabies vaccine costs $23.00. The recombinant rabies vaccine costs $29.50. The recombinant Feline Leukemia vaccine, which is delivered transdermally instead of via syringe and needle, costs $30.00 as opposed to $24.00 charged for the killed FeLk vaccine.
Pain Management
It is irresponsible to have pets endure needless pain. A partnership between you and the Plymouth Heights team is crucial to developing pain management strategies for your companion animal. Because you see your pet daily, you can usually tell when something is wrong.

Intestinal Foreign Object Removal
Our veterinary team uses the safest anesthetics combined with effective pain management medication to minimize your pet’s risk and pain. Plymouth Heights Pet Hospital’s doctors have the skills and knowledge to handle most surgical cases. Including exploratory laparotomies (foreign body removal), splenectomies, gastropexies, and cruciate ligament repair.

Infection Treatment

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Periodontal Disease Treatment
If not addressed in time, the damage may be irreversible and is called periodontal disease. In addition to being painful, periodontal disease can lead to loose teeth, abscesses, and bone loss or infection. As bacterial growth progresses, the bacteria may enter the bloodstream potentially causing infection of the heart valves (endocarditis), liver, and kidneys. Periodontal disease can be slowed or stopped with early intervention in the process by you and our veterinarians.

Wound and Fracture Care

Dental Surgery
Our team at PHPH is trained for and committed to providing your pet with a healthy mouth. While we have the sophisticated equipment needed to provide the best oral surgery possible, our ultimate goal is to avoid having to sedate your pet to rectify oral disease; your pet is counting on your home dental care to prevent it.
Veterinary Surgery
Each veterinarian at Plymouth Heights Pet Hospital has the training and experience to perform routine and emergency surgery. We have state-of-the-art anesthesia and surgical equipment to handle our surgical caseload.
Laser Surgery

X-Ray
We have converted to digital radiography to improve the quality of our x-rays and our diagnostic capabilities. Digital radiography offers several advantages over traditional film-based radiography, including enhanced imaging latitude, fewer retakes, faster image results (less time on the table for your pet), access to teleradiology, and improved patient care through better image quality.
