Veterinary Services

Monte Vista Animal Hospital is well-equipped and ready to offer you and your pet a full spectrum of veterinary services.

Veterinary Services

Behavioral Counseling

We can provide advice regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling and aggression.

Dentistry

Monte Vista Animal Hospital is proud to provide excellent dental care to our patients. We recommend that each patient have their teeth checked at least once per year to identify any issues, such as broken teeth, infections, and periodontal disease. Bacterial infections in the mouth seed the entire body with bacteria and can cause infections in the heart, kidneys, and other organs. Regular dental cleanings and at-home care are vital to the health of our pets.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services

Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets’ complete health care needs. We also offer class IV therapeutic laser, stem cell, herbal, and chiropractic therapies to supplement our traditional western medicine offerings.

Diet Counseling

We will provide guidance regarding your pet’s nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance and performance, as well as, for any disease conditions.

Flea Control

We develop programs for the specific needs of your pet and your own particular environmental situation. We will review with you the best ways to control fleas in your house, in your yard and on your pet.

Internal Medicine Consults

We work closely with a vast network of veterinary specialists locally, through Idexx laboratories, and at UC Davis. Internal medicine specialists can perform comprehensive ultrasounds, endoscopic procedures, and provide guidance in more complicated cases.

Laboratory

Our in-house laboratory facilities boast the same machines used by the large reference labs. We provide full laboratory testing services- serum chemistry, hematology, serology, urinalysis, cytology, histopathology, and parasite testing. We also work closely with a commercial veterinary laboratory, Idexx, for specialized diagnostics and consultations.

Permanent Identification

We offer tattooing and microchip identification using the most reliable and biocompatible microchips available.

Pharmacy

We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, shampoos, flea and tick control products and heartworm preventatives to meet the needs of your pet. We also offer a convenient, safe online pharmacy with home-delivery options and competitive pricing.

Radiology

Our on-site, modern, digital X-ray equipment provides high-quality, instant radiographs to aid in the quick diagnosis of many disorders. We also have access to board-certified veterinary radiologists to review our radiographs.

Surgical Services

Our state-of-the-art surgical suite provides for the performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures.

Ultrasound

Ultrasonography is a type of diagnostic technique that uses ultrasound waves to produce an imaging study. This means that when we perform ultrasonography, we can see internal images of the patient’s body.

Wellness Screenings

At Monte Vista Animal Hospital, we believe prevention is key to ultimate wellbeing. Our pets can’t speak; they cannot tell us if they feel unwell. Pets will also actively mask signs of illness until late in the course of the disease. Many times the earlier we can catch a disease, the better the chance for a favorable outcome. With this in mind, we recommend bringing your pet in for a wellness examination at least once per year.
