Godspeed Animal Care: Mullins Chantal J DVM

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for cats and dogs, assessing general condition, coat/skin health, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, internal organs (heart, lungs, abdomen), and overall vitality. These exams help detect early signs of illness and ensure your pet remains healthy. We also review vaccination, parasite prevention, and nutritional needs during these visits.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to support your new pet’s first year of life. This includes physical exams, age-appropriate vaccinations (e.g., DHPP, Rabies, Feline Leukemia), deworming, parasite prevention, and guidance on nutrition, behavior, and socialization. Our goal is to set your puppy or kitten up for a lifetime of health.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on proactive health management for aging pets, including tailored physical exams, early detection of geriatric conditions (e.g., arthritis, heart disease, diabetes), and personalized treatment plans. We prioritize quality of life, pain management, and preventive care to help senior pets live comfortably and healthily.

We administer Core Vaccinations such as Rabies, Distemper, and Parvovirus (for dogs) and Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia (for cats) to protect your pets from life-threatening diseases. Vaccination schedules are customized based on age, lifestyle, and risk factors to ensure optimal immunity.

We offer 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 registered to your contact information, increasing the chances of reuniting you with your pet if they are lost or stolen.

Our in-house lab provides In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to diagnose illnesses, monitor chronic conditions, and assess organ function. Rapid results allow us to develop targeted treatment plans quickly.

Our clinic offers Fecal Testing to identify intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, hookworms) and protozoa that can cause discomfort or disease in pets. This test is recommended annually for all pets and more frequently for those with digestive symptoms or outdoor access.

We utilize Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose conditions like broken bones, arthritis, bladder stones, spinal issues, and tumors. Our state-of-the-art equipment provides safe, low-radiation imaging with immediate results for faster treatment decisions.

Our clinic offers Ultrasound Imaging to create detailed images of internal organs, blood flow, and pregnancies. This non-invasive tool helps diagnose heart disease, abdominal masses, reproductive issues, and more, with real-time imaging for accurate assessments.

We provide Allergy Testing to identify environmental, food, or contact allergies in pets, which often manifest as skin irritation, ear infections, or chronic itching. Testing helps us recommend targeted treatments like dietary changes, medications, or immunotherapy.

Our clinic offers EKG / ECG (Heart Monitoring) to evaluate heart rhythm, diagnose arrhythmias, or assess cardiac health before anesthesia. This non-invasive test is part of our comprehensive diagnostic toolkit.

Our clinic provides Dental X-Rays to assess the health of teeth roots, jawbone, and surrounding structures below the gum line. This technology is essential for diagnosing periodontal disease, tooth decay, or oral tumors that aren’t visible during a visual exam.

We perform Tooth Extractions for severely decayed, fractured, or diseased teeth under general anesthesia. This procedure is part of our comprehensive dental care to prevent pain, infection, and systemic health issues caused by oral disease.

We perform Oral Surgery, including Tooth Extractions and Periodontal Disease Treatment, to address severe dental issues. Procedures are conducted under general anesthesia with advanced equipment to ensure safety and comfort.

We offer Pain Management strategies for pets recovering from surgery, chronic conditions (e.g., arthritis), or injuries. Options include medications, laser therapy, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments tailored to your pet’s needs.

Our veterinarians use Cold Laser Therapy to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling in pets recovering from surgery, injuries, or chronic conditions like arthritis. This non-invasive treatment promotes healing and improves mobility without drugs.

We conduct Quality of Life Assessments for pets with chronic or terminal illnesses to evaluate pain, mobility, appetite, and overall comfort. This helps pet owners make informed decisions about end-of-life care and euthanasia options.

We provide Telemedicine Consultations for minor illnesses, medication refills, or follow-up care via secure video calls. This service offers flexibility for non-emergency concerns while maintaining access to veterinary expertise.
