Plattsburgh Animal Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets at every life stage, including puppies, adults, seniors, and exotic companions. Our exams include evaluations of temperature, skin/coat health, cardiac/lung function, joint mobility, oral hygiene, eyes, ears, internal systems, and behavioral/cognitive changes to detect early signs of illness or discomfort.

We offer tailored Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed for optimal growth and development. These packages include comprehensive physical exams, customized vaccination schedules (covering core vaccines like Rabies, Distemper, Parvo), parasite screening/deworming, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, microchipping, and nutritional counseling to support healthy early life stages.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on proactive health management for pets aged 7+. We recommend annual bloodwork (CBC & Chemistry Panels), urinalysis, and comprehensive exams to monitor age-related conditions like arthritis, diabetes, or organ dysfunction. We tailor care plans to maintain mobility, comfort, and quality of life.

We provide Core Vaccinations for dogs and cats, including Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo, to protect against serious and often fatal diseases. Our team follows customized schedules based on age, lifestyle, and risk factors to ensure optimal immunity while minimizing unnecessary vaccinations.

We provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention year-round through blood tests (e.g., antigen/antibody testing) and monthly preventive medications. Early detection and prevention are critical, as heartworm disease can be fatal if untreated.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention programs include topical treatments, oral medications, and collars tailored to your pet’s lifestyle. We also offer year-round parasite monitoring during wellness visits to ensure protection against infestations and diseases like Lyme or Ehrlichia.

We offer Microchipping & Registration as a permanent form of identification for pets. Our quick, painless procedure includes registration in national databases (e.g., HomeAgain, AKC) to increase the chances of reuniting lost pets with their families.

Our veterinarians provide Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services to help you select the best diet for your pet’s age, breed, health status, and activity level. We address obesity, food allergies, chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes), and offer personalized meal plans or supplement recommendations.

We perform Parasite Deworming for intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms through fecal testing and targeted treatments. Regular deworming is essential for puppies/kittens, outdoor pets, or those showing symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, or weight loss.

Our hospital offers In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to diagnose infections, organ dysfunction, diabetes, kidney/liver disease, and more. Rapid results allow us to adjust treatment plans promptly during your visit.

We provide Urinalysis as part of our diagnostic services to screen for urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney disease, diabetes, and bladder stones. This non-invasive test is especially valuable for senior pets or those with symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, or blood in urine.

Our Fecal Testing service detects intestinal parasites (e.g., giardia, coccidia) and evaluates digestive health. We recommend annual testing for all pets, especially those with diarrhea or a history of parasite exposure.

We utilize Digital X-Rays to diagnose fractures, joint issues (e.g., arthritis), foreign objects, heart/lung conditions, and dental disease. Our in-house radiology allows for same-day results and reduces wait times compared to external labs.

Our Ultrasound Imaging service helps evaluate abdominal organs (liver, kidneys, spleen), reproductive health, heart function, and masses. Ultrasounds are non-invasive and provide real-time imaging for accurate diagnoses of conditions like tumors or organ abnormalities.

We offer Allergy Testing to identify environmental (pollen, dust mites), food, or contact allergies causing chronic itching, ear infections, or skin irritation. Testing may include intradermal skin tests or blood panels, followed by tailored treatment plans (e.g., hypoallergenic diets, medications).

Our Dental X-Rays reveal hidden dental problems such as root infections, fractured teeth, or bone loss beneath the gumline. These radiographs are essential for comprehensive oral health assessments and guide treatments like extractions or root canals.

We perform Tooth Extractions for severely decayed, fractured, or diseased teeth under general anesthesia with advanced pain management. Our team ensures a smooth recovery and provides post-operative care instructions to minimize discomfort.

Our Periodontal Disease Treatment includes deep cleanings, root planing, and antimicrobial treatments to address gum disease. We also provide at-home care education (e.g., tooth brushing techniques) to slow progression and improve oral health.

We offer At-Home Dental Care Education to help pet owners maintain their pets’ oral health between professional cleanings. This includes guidance on tooth brushing, dental treats, water additives, and recognizing early signs of dental disease.

Our Spay & Neuter Surgery services reduce the risk of cancers (e.g., mammary tumors), unwanted litters, and behavioral issues like roaming or aggression. We use modern surgical techniques with minimal recovery time and provide post-operative care support.

Our Foreign Body Removal services address ingested objects, splinters, or embedded materials using minimally invasive techniques. Early intervention prevents complications like intestinal blockages or infections.

We provide Wound & Laceration Repair for cuts, bites, or surgical incisions using sutures, staples, or advanced wound closure techniques. Our team monitors healing and provides post-operative care to prevent infections.

Our Bladder Stone Removal services use cystotomy surgery to extract urinary stones causing pain or blockages. We offer dietary recommendations and follow-up care to prevent recurrence.

We provide Emergency Stabilization for critical cases, including trauma (e.g., car accidents), poisoning, or severe illness. Services include IV fluids, oxygen therapy, pain management, and immediate diagnostics to save lives.

Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring is available for pets requiring intensive care post-surgery or for chronic conditions. Our team provides continuous observation, medication administration, and supportive therapies to ensure recovery.

We offer Oxygen Therapy for pets with respiratory distress, heart disease, or post-anesthetic recovery. Oxygen cages or nasal catheters help improve oxygen saturation and comfort during critical periods.

IV Fluid Therapy is administered to dehydrated pets, those undergoing surgery, or with kidney/liver disease. Fluids restore hydration, support organ function, and aid in recovery from illness or injury.

Our Pain Management services include preemptive, intraoperative, and post-operative pain control using medications, local anesthesia, and alternative therapies like acupuncture. We tailor pain relief to your pet’s specific needs.

Poison & Toxin Treatment involves immediate intervention for ingestions (e.g., chocolate, lilies, rodenticide) or exposures to chemicals. We induce vomiting if safe, administer activated charcoal, and provide IV support as needed.

CT Scan & MRI services are available for advanced imaging of complex conditions, including tumors, neurological issues, or internal injuries. Our in-house CT scanner provides rapid, detailed results without the need for external referrals.

We offer Nail Trimming & Dremeling as part of routine grooming and preventive care. Overgrown nails can cause pain or joint issues, so we provide safe trimming services to keep your pet comfortable.

Our Acupuncture service offers drug-free pain relief and improved healing for conditions like arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and chronic illnesses. Licensed veterinarians perform treatments using sterile needles to stimulate natural healing pathways.

Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation includes post-surgical recovery exercises, hydrotherapy (e.g., underwater treadmill), and massage to improve mobility. We design customized plans for pets with orthopedic injuries or neurological conditions.

Hydrotherapy using an underwater treadmill reduces joint stress while building muscle strength—ideal for post-surgery recovery, arthritis management, or obesity control. Our facility offers supervised sessions with certified therapists.

Quality of Life Assessment helps pet owners evaluate their companion’s comfort, pain levels, and overall well-being. We use tools like the HHHHHMM scale to guide decisions about treatment options or end-of-life care.

At-Home Euthanasia Referrals are available for pets where in-clinic visits are difficult. We coordinate with mobile veterinary services to provide compassionate, home-based euthanasia and grief support.

Telemedicine Consultations allow you to discuss non-emergency concerns (e.g., medication refills, minor ailments) via secure video calls. This convenient service saves time and provides quick access to veterinary advice.
