Companion Animal Services
Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of the
physical examination. We recommend annual examinations on healthy patients. With patients having recognizable problems, we recommend more frequent examinations. Your doctor will let you know what examination schedule is best suited for your pet. Thorough check-ups and preventative care
can help in the discovery and prevention of serious health problems. We offer a wide range of
veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best:

Wellness Care: As part of our routine preventative care, the Care Veterinary
Clinics provide vaccinations, deworming, flea preventative, heartworm preventative testing, spaying and neutering, microchip implantation and dental care for your pet.

Time of Need Care: The Care Veterinary Clinics can care for your companion
animal in case of medical sickness, lameness, injury, metabolic problems, or
chronic illness. We are equipped to provide intravenous fluids, medications
and hospitalization. With our modern on site laboratory, most laboratory
results can be obtained within an hour. Our hospital is equipped to provide
diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care
needs. Emergency care for our patients is provided on a 24-hour basis through
our day time facilities and Tulare Kings Veterinary Emergency Service.

In-House Laboratory Equipment: The Care Veterinary Clinics have the necessary laboratory equipment to perform many laboratory tests in the clinic while you wait. Tests can be performed on urine and blood samples obtained from your pet to check internal organs, blood counts and serum electrolytes. These results can help identify any possible life threatening problems such as liver disease, kidney disease, anemia or dehydration. The laboratory results can also aid in a diagnosis for a sick or injured dog or cat, helping to guide treatment. As pets age, the Care Veterinary Clinics recommend annual physical
examinations and annual lab panels for early detection of any abnormalities.
The Care Veterinary Clinics also recommend pre-anesthestic lab work before
most sedation or general anesthesia. We also utilize commercial veterinary
laboratories for specialized diagnostics and consultations.

Hospitalization of your pet: The Care Veterinary Clinics have pet housing available if your pet needs overnight hospitalization. If your pet needs intensive monitoring throughout the night, you may be referred to the Tulare Kings Veterinary Emergency Service in Visalia.

Surgical Services: Our complete surgical suite provides for the performance of
a wide variety of surgical procedures from routine castrations and spays to
more complicated procedures such as mass removals, soft tissue surgery and
trauma repair.

Anesthesia: We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide an extra
margin of safety, especially for our older or high-risk patients. Using the most
modern equipment, the patient's vital signs such as ECG, blood pressure,
respiration and oxygen levels are monitored during anesthetic procedures.
Gas or inhalant anesthesia is used for most surgical procedures. Pain medication is provided before and after surgery for all our surgical patients.

Radiology Services: Our on-site, modern X-ray equipment provides high quality
radiographs to aid in the quick diagnosis of many disorders.
