For the safety of your pet and our staff, please have your dog or cat on a leash or in a carrier prior to entering our clinic.
Wellness Exams, Annual Vaccinations and Parasite Control
An annual wellness exam for your pet is an excellent time to review your companion's overall health (weight, body condition, teeth, eyes and ears). Please tell us about any concerns or questions you may have. We will also review and update your pet's vaccination record. Parasite control is important so we encourage annual heartworm testing for dogs and annual fecal tests or deworming. Blood analysis or urinalysis may be recommended for early diagnosis of diseases like diabetes, anemia, thyroid and kidney disease. Through prevention or early and timely intervention, we can add to the quality and longevity of your pet's life.
We stock many pet products including flea and tick control, heartworm preventative, Hill’s and Royal Canin pet food. For your added convenience we offer an online store.
Microchipping
To help ensure that you don’t ever lose track of your furry companion get your dog or cat microchipped. A veterinarian injects a microchip for pets, about the size of a grain of rice, beneath the surface of your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. The process is similar to an injection or vaccination and takes only a few seconds. No anesthetic is required. Following registration you and your pet’s information is stored in a national pet recovery database. If your pet is lost, it can be taken to an animal shelter or veterinarian where it will be scanned for a microchip’s unique ID number. The microchip number will be used to identify the pet, retrieve your contact information and reunite you with your pet!
Pet Boarding
RVAC offers kennel accommodations for dogs and cats. Food, bedding and exercise is provided. Please bring any special food and all medications or supplements you are currently giving your pet. All dogs and cats need to be on a leash or in a carrier when they enter our building.
- Boarding drop off and pick up is anytime during regular business hours (8:00 –
5:00 Monday through Friday).
- Requirements: Dogs must be current on rabies, distemper and bordetella (kennel cough) vaccinations. Cats must be current on rabies and distemper vaccinations. Please bring prior vaccination records if your pet has been vaccinated elsewhere.
- Please call (855) 855-7822 option 1 for boarding reservations. Call early as availability is limited!
In-House Laboratory
Our laboratory allows us to perform many tests in our office, supplying us with quick results and faster treatment for your pets. Pre-anesthetic blood testing is available for all pets and can be done the morning of your scheduled surgical procedure. This is recommended for any dog or cat over 7 years old to check for underlying conditions (kidney or liver disorders, abnormal protein or glucose levels) that could increase the risks associated with anesthesia. These results also allow us to diagnose and treat conditions that would otherwise go undetected until visible, possibly irreversible, symptoms arise.
Allergy Testing
We work with several outside laboratories that specialize in allergy testing. When the source is identified we can provide relief and control the allergy with medications, prescription foods or bathing treatments.
Nutritional Counseling
We recommend and sell Hill's and Royal Canin dog and cat foods. These companies offer a variety of nutritionally balanced products for the healthy pet and prescription foods for pets with special diet requirements.
Cold Laser Therapy
Laser Therapy is an effective, proven, pain free treatment option for our clients who want to ease their pet’s pain and inflammation. Laser Therapy is the use of specific wavelengths of light to treat painful and debilitating conditions. Light energy enters the damaged cells and stimulates inter-cellular activity. This reduces pain in the area and speeds recovery of the damaged cells. Some conditions treated with Laser Therapy include arthritis, tendonitis, inflamed ears, joint pain, and post-op and wound healing.
Diagnostic and Reproductive Ultrasound
Ultrasound technology is a non-invasive procedure for certain diagnostic and reproductive tests that can be done with very little or no discomfort to your pet.
Digital Radiology
Digital X-ray technology gives us outstanding images at an affordable price for animals large and small.
Spays or Neuters
Spaying or neutering should be done to all pets that will not be used for breeding purposes. We can do these procedures as early as 4 months of age (or earlier if warranted). Spaying or neutering your pet greatly decreases health problems that they may encounter later in life, such as various cancers and infections, and can also decrease many undesirable behaviors as well.
Dentistry
Most dogs and cats will need a dental cleaning at some point in their life, and many will need it on a yearly basis. That dog or cat breath you have been complaining about may be from tooth decay and tartar buildup, and can lead to serious health problems. We perform dental cleaning on animals of all ages under anesthesia, extracting teeth when necessary.
General Soft Tissue Surgery
Soft tissue surgeries are those procedures that are not associated with bone. Some of the most common surgeries performed are removal of lumps or masses, laceration repair, and surgical correction of certain eye or ear conditions.
Orthopedic Surgery
We can surgically repair many bone fractures and other orthopedic conditions. If a fracture or condition is too severe, we will provide you with an appropriate referral to a specialist for further treatment.
Pet Cremation
Our knowledgeable and compassionate staff can assist you with difficult end of life decisions. We offer general or private cremation for your loved one.
