Appointments

We use Avimark veterinary software to book appointments in the most efficient way possible, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs when scheduling an appointment. You can call the clinic or request an appointment online for your convenience. We do see emergencies during our normal business hours. If you feel that your pet is having an emergency, please call us immediately or bring your pet in. 

Preventative Care

Here at BVC, we believe in keeping your pets happy and healthy by preventing illness. We recommend annual examinations for all cats and dogs and examinations every six months for senior pets. When you come in for an examination, we will recommend a vaccination protocol designed specifically for your pet’s needs. We use Boehringer Ingelheim vaccines for both dogs and cats, as their Recombitek and Purevax technologies are state-of-the-art and produce fewer vaccine reactions. We offer Datamars microchips, which come with a free lifetime registration. We believe strongly in monthly heartworm, flea, and tick prevention for all pets. Diet, routine blood work, and dental care also play a role in disease prevention and early detection and will be discussed at your appointment. 

Diagnostic Equipment

We have brand new in-house Idexx CBC, chemistry, and urinalysis machines that can give us your pet’s red and white cell counts, platelet counts, liver and kidney values, electrolyte status, and more in just minutes.

We have a DR (digital radiography) machine that allows us to have immediate results if your pet needs x-rays. We can even email you the results.

Dentistry

While preventing dental disease through routine teeth brushing is best, most dogs and cats will eventually require a dental cleaning under anesthesia. Sometimes extractions are necessary as well. We will evaluate your pet’s teeth during his or her routine examinations and discuss this when needed. We use a digital dental x-ray and ultrasonic scaler and polisher similar to what your dentist would use. To ensure your pet’s safety, we run pre-operative blood work, place an IV catheter, run fluids, and use anesthetic monitoring equipment as we would with any other surgical procedure.
