Counseling

We can provide advice and professional referrals for the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling and aggression.  The Uxbridge Animal Hospital recommends Alpha Dog K9 Training who can be reached at 508-989-5859 or on the internet at http://www.alphadogk9.com/.

Dietary Counseling
We will offer guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance, performance and senior stages. Our doctors often recommend the Royal Canin Veterinary Diet™ available by prescription only or the Royal Canin Wellness Diet, which includes the Royal Canin Canine Health Nutrition™ and the Royal Canin Feline Health Nutrition™ formulas.

The Royal Canin Veterinary Diet range represents a new approach to veterinary nutrition. The diet gives priority to the pet. Prevention of associated risks, protection against oxidative stress, and the addition of nutraceuticals are considered for each diet. Vist the Royal Canin website.

We also recommend regular weigh-in visits to monitor your pet's weight which we track with our computer system and allow us to make dietary suggestions.

Dental

Our dental services include teeth cleaning and polishing, tooth extractions and oral surgery.  Our staff also offers recommendations and demonstrations for dental home care.  We suggest starting your pet's dental care as early as possible.  Imagine if you didn't brush your teeth!

Digital Dental Radiology 
Uxbridge Animal Hospital follows the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) Dental Guidelines. We currently use digital radiography to evaluate the teeth.

Diagnostic & Theraputic

Our veterinary hospital is equipped to deliver diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pet's complete health care needs. Our exam rooms are at the heart of our facility. They serve as the primary location for our therapeutic treatments and each exam room is outfitted with the latest diagnostic equipment.

Radiology
Our on-site digital X-ray equipment provides quality radiographs to aid in the diagnosis of many disorders. We also utilize Ocean State Veterinary Specialists and Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University for radiology consults at the owner's request.

Ultrasound Diagnostics
We are proud to offer mobile ultrasound diagnostic services by two board-certified veterinary internists on a weekly basis. Ultrasound is a safe and painless diagnostic procedure that captures moving images of internal organs or structures for diagnostic purposes. There is no injection or radiation exposure associated with ultrasound studies.

Surgical Specialty
We also offer the services of a board-certified surgeon specializing in orthopedic and soft tissue surgery. He is available for consultations and surgical services.

Glaucoma Screening Available
Glaucoma is a disease that causes an increase in intraocular pressure. The increase pressure in the eye results in permanent vision loss through progressive death of the nerve cells in the eye. We recommend yearly glaucoma screening all dogs. Any pet can get glaucoma, however some breeds have a higher incidence of glaucoma such as the Spaniel breeds (ex. Cocker and Springer), Terrier breeds (ex. Boston and Fox) and Artic breeds (ex. Husky and Akita).

To better serve you and your pets we have purchased a tonopen, which is an instrument to measure intraocular pressure of the eye. This instrument allows us to easily and painlessly measure the pressure in your dog’s eyes to catch glaucoma early and prevent irreversible blindness or loss of the eye. Glaucoma is a disease that can be treated if diagnosed early.

Pet Care Needs

Our reception area offers a large variety of pet care needs for your convienence. We carry a large variety of Royal Canin Veterinary Diets, Hills Prescriptions Diets, CET dental care products, joint supplements, vitamins and Lupine collars and leashes.

Laboratory

Our in-house laboratory facilities provide for serum chemistry, hematology, serology, urinalysis, parasite testing, Heartworm and Lyme Disease testing. We also utilize the commercial veterinary laboratories, Idexx and Heska, for specialized diagnostics and consultations.

Pharmacy

We maintain a basic inventory of pharmaceuticals, Heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, as well as therapeutic diets to meet the needs of your pet.  We also outsource many of our medications and prescription diets through our off-site pharmacy, VetStoreRx.  VetStoreRx offers the same, safe manufacturer's guarantee on products as the hospital, but can often offer lower costs and automatic shipments.

Wellness Plans
The hospital offers Kitten and Puppy Wellness Plans for all new additions to your family.  The Wellness Plans offer all "well" medical care for your new puppy or kitten for their first year of life at a savings to you.  They also provide an additional savings for all other services offered by the hospital.  The plans include all wellness exams, appropriate life stage vaccines, laboratory work, and spaying or neutering the juvenile pet.

Individualized Flea/Tick Prevention Programs
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/ticks in your house, in your yard and on your pet.  These parasites pose serious health risks to your pet and your family, and need to be controlled effectively and safely.  The Uxbridge Animal Hospital recommends prescription medications to protect your pet from fleas and ticks.  Non-prescription medications have a higher risk of adverse reactions, and are often not effective.

Surgical

Our surgical suite provides for the performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures, routine and emergency.

Anesthesia
We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide that extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high risk patients. Using equipment and trained technical staff, the patient's vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.

Analgesia
We want your pet to be comfortable, while in our care, and at home.  Pain relief, or analgesia, is an important factor for surgical patients, as well as patients in emergency situations and those affected by disease or lameness.  Please be assured that analgesia will be a part of your pet's care, when appropriate.

Vaccination

Vaccines are an important part of the health of your pet.  The doctors at Uxbridge Animal Hospital will develop a vaccine schedule for your pet based on factors of age, environmental risk, and legal requirement.  Our vaccine protocols reflect the most up-to-date, credible research on the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
