Echo Park Veterinary Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams during routine wellness visits, where our veterinarians assess your pet’s overall health by examining their eyes, ears, nose, mouth (for oral health issues like plaque buildup or periodontal disease), heart rate/rhythm, pulse, blood pressure, and more. These exams help us detect early signs of illness and tailor preventive care to your pet’s needs.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to ensure your new pet starts life on the right foot. These packages include age-appropriate vaccinations, parasite prevention, spay/neuter surgeries (when recommended), and guidance on nutrition, behavior, and socialization during their critical first year of growth.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on proactive health management for aging pets. We provide customized wellness exams to screen for age-related conditions (e.g., heart disease, diabetes, kidney/liver issues), adjust preventive care plans, and recommend dietary or lifestyle changes to support quality of life as your pet grows older.

We administer essential Core Vaccinations such as Rabies, Distemper, and Parvovirus to protect your dog or cat from life-threatening diseases. These vaccines are a cornerstone of preventive care and are included in our Pet Wellness Plans for puppies, kittens, and adult pets.

As part of our Pet Wellness Plans, we provide annual Heartworm Testing and a 12-month supply of preventive medication. Heartworm disease is serious and preventable, so we prioritize testing and year-round protection for at-risk pets.

We include Flea & Tick Prevention in our wellness packages, offering monthly medications to protect your pet from parasites that can cause discomfort, allergies, or transmit diseases like Lyme. Our team will help you choose the best product for your pet’s needs.

We provide Microchipping & Registration as a permanent form of identification for pets. A microchip (about the size of a grain of rice) is implanted under the skin and linked to your contact information, increasing the chances of reuniting you with your pet if they’re lost.

During wellness exams, we offer Nutritional Counseling to discuss your pet’s diet and weight management. Obesity can lead to serious health issues like diabetes or joint problems, so we provide personalized recommendations for balanced nutrition and portion control.

We perform Parasite Deworming as part of routine care to eliminate intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, or tapeworms. Fecal exams are conducted annually to detect parasites early and prescribe appropriate deworming treatments.

Our veterinarians provide Behavioral Counseling for pets exhibiting issues like aggression, anxiety, or inappropriate elimination. We offer guidance on training techniques, environmental adjustments, and when to consult a veterinary behaviorist for complex cases.

Our in-house lab performs In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to diagnose illnesses, monitor chronic conditions, or screen for early signs of disease during wellness exams. Results are available quickly so we can act promptly.

We offer Urinalysis as part of diagnostic testing to assess kidney function, detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), or identify metabolic diseases like diabetes. This test is included in comprehensive wellness exams and pre-surgical evaluations.

Annual Fecal Testing is performed to check for intestinal parasites, which can cause discomfort or transmit diseases. Early detection allows us to treat your pet promptly and reduce health risks for both animals and humans.

Our clinic uses Digital X-Rays to diagnose conditions like broken bones, arthritis, bladder stones, or tumors. This non-invasive tool provides detailed images of internal structures, helping us develop targeted treatment plans for your pet.

We utilize Ultrasound Imaging to examine abdominal organs (e.g., liver, kidneys) or assess pregnancies. This painless, radiation-free technology helps us diagnose issues like organ abnormalities or reproductive health concerns.

During dental cleanings or exams, we take Dental X-Rays to identify hidden issues like tooth root infections, fractures, or periodontal disease. These images guide us in determining whether extractions or other treatments are necessary.

We perform Tooth Extractions for pets with severe dental disease, fractured teeth, or oral tumors. The procedure is done under anesthesia to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety, followed by post-operative care instructions.

Our team handles Oral Surgery for complex cases like jaw fractures, advanced periodontal disease, or oral tumors. We use sterile techniques and provide pain management to support your pet’s recovery.

We treat Periodontal Disease through deep cleanings, scaling below the gumline, and addressing infections. Early intervention can prevent tooth loss and systemic health issues linked to poor oral health.

After professional cleanings, we educate pet owners on At-Home Dental Care, including brushing techniques, dental chews (safe options), and signs of oral health problems. Regular home care complements our treatments to maintain your pet’s dental health.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery for dogs and cats to prevent unwanted litters, reduce cancer risks (e.g., mammary tumors in females), and eliminate behaviors like roaming or marking. These procedures are part of our preventive care recommendations.

We surgically remove Foreign Bodies ingested by pets (e.g., toys, bones) or lodged in their digestive tract. Early intervention is critical to prevent complications like blockages or infections.

We treat Wound & Laceration Repair with professional cleaning, suturing, and pain management. Whether from accidents or injuries, our goal is to promote healing while minimizing infection risks for your pet.

We perform Anal Gland Expression when pets experience discomfort due to impacted anal glands (common in small dogs). This procedure relieves pain and prevents infections, often recommended during routine exams if issues are detected.

We provide Quality of Life Assessments for senior or chronically ill pets to evaluate their comfort, mobility, appetite, and pain levels. This helps guide decisions about treatment plans or palliative care tailored to your pet’s needs.

We provide Telemedicine Consultations for minor issues like medication refills, general advice, or follow-ups after a visit. This convenient option saves time while ensuring your pet’s care continues between in-person appointments.
