Southside Animal Hospital: Schmidt Karin E DVM

We provide comprehensive physical exams (from nose to tail) to evaluate your pet’s overall health, detect potential issues early, and create a health baseline. Our exams include vital signs assessment and full-body evaluations during routine wellness visits.

We design specialized wellness packages for puppies and kittens, encompassing age-appropriate vaccinations, parasite prevention, and early health monitoring. These packages support their growth and set a foundation for lifelong wellness.

Our senior pet wellness care includes tailored evaluations, advanced diagnostics (e.g., bloodwork, urinalysis), and proactive management to address age-related conditions. We prioritize quality of life assessments and individualized prevention plans.

We provide essential core vaccinations (including rabies, distemper, and parvo) to protect your pet from life-threatening diseases. Our team follows veterinary guidelines to customize vaccination protocols based on your pet’s needs and lifestyle.

We offer comprehensive flea and tick prevention programs tailored to your pet’s needs. Our team will recommend the most effective preventative measures to keep your pet safe from parasites and associated diseases.

We provide permanent microchipping services to ensure your pet can be reunited with you if lost. Microchips, combined with registration through our system, are the most reliable form of identification for pets.

Our team offers personalized nutritional counseling and weight management programs to optimize your pet’s health. We provide diet recommendations, supplemental advice, and obesity prevention strategies to support a healthy lifespan.

We use advanced in-house digital radiography (X-ray) to quickly diagnose fractures, joint issues, and internal problems. Our equipment provides immediate results, allowing for faster and more accurate treatment planning.

We offer diagnostic ultrasound imaging to assess abdominal organs, cardiac function, cysts, and tumors. This non-invasive tool provides critical insights for conditions like heart disease, organ abnormalities, and pregnancy monitoring.

We provide dental radiographs to detect hidden issues like root infections, bone loss, or subgingival plaque. Dental X-rays are essential for comprehensive oral health assessments during professional cleanings or evaluations.

We perform routine and specialized spay/neuter surgeries to improve your pet’s health and longevity, as well as to reduce behavioral and reproductive risks. Our team ensures safe, humane procedures with minimal recovery time.

We use non-invasive cold laser therapy to reduce pain, inflammation, and speed healing for acute and chronic conditions. This drug-free treatment is especially beneficial for post-surgical recovery and arthritis management.

We offer evidence-based physical therapy and rehabilitation services, including underwater treadmill therapy (hydrotherapy) and laser therapy, to aid recovery from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions.

We provide hydrotherapy using underwater treadmills to reduce joint stress, improve mobility, and accelerate recovery. This low-impact exercise is ideal for seniors, post-surgical pets, and those with chronic conditions.

As a federally accredited practice, we issue domestic health certificates for pets traveling within the USA. These certificates meet all regulatory requirements to ensure safe and legal travel for your pet.
