Wellness and Preventative Medicine

We emphasize preventative instead of reactive medicine for all our patients. Annual wellness visits allow our doctors to perform a comprehensive physical exam to screen for disease and illness before it becomes life threatening. We encourage routine vaccinations against common diseases that affect our canine and feline companions, including rabies. We also perform annual wellness testing to screen for  systemic disease, heartworm disease and intestinal parasites. Our doctors will prescribe annual prevention medications to protect your pet from both internal and external parasites. Our services also include behavioral management, nutritional advice and obesity management, geriatric medicine & exotic pet wellness.

Radiology Services
Our facility uses digital radiography to obtain high quality x-ray images. These high quality images assist our doctors in providing the most accurate diagnosis and treatment options possible for your pet. Additionally, each radiograph is evaluated by a board certified radiologist for more in-depth analysis. 

Surgical Services
Weston Road Animal Hospital is equipped with a sterile surgical suite and state-of-the-art anesthesia monitoring equipment to provide our patients with the highest quality and safest surgical environment, comparable to human hospitals. Our highly trained nursing staff combined with a comprehensive pain management program, also helps ensure your pet's safety and comfort before, during & after surgery.

Pharmacy
We offer a complete veterinary pharmacy for established patients. Our inventory includes a variety of medications for managing illness and the best preventative medications for heartworm prevention and flea and tick control. We also stock a variety of prescription diets for nutritional management. If we don't have it in-house, we can prescribe it through our online pharmacy and have it delivered straight to your door.
