We Treat Your Pets Like Family

Vaccines help pets live longer, healthier lives. Our doctors and additional staff members are well-educated about veterinary vaccines, and our goal is to give you the best advice for keeping your pet healthy. No pet is the same, so we create individualized vaccine schedules to protect them from potentially harmful diseases.

Let us develop a vaccination schedule and ongoing booster routine that accounts for your pet’s lifestyle, overall health, the risk for exposure to infectious disease, and other factors. Call today.

From routine procedures (such as spays or dental cleanings) to more advanced medical treatments (such as bone surgeries or cancer treatments) to chronically painful conditions (such as arthritis or back pain), the team at Petsburgh Pet Care is dedicated to providing safe and effective pain management to every patient. We will help you recognize signs of pain in your pet so that we can modify their pain management plan when necessary.

There are endless benefits to purchasing prevention through a veterinarian to ensure that your pet is adequately protected. No medication is safe for all pets. Your veterinarian knows your pet and knows you. They will help you choose the proper prevention to keep your pet as safe as possible.

Guarantee

Most heartworm and flea preventions offer guarantees from the manufacturer when purchased through a veterinarian. If your pet has an adverse event like vomiting or other reactions, and the manufacturer is informed, they may help by providing a new dose or reimbursing you.

Some companies who sell flea prevention will even help by treating your house. A similar guarantee applies to heartworm prevention; if your pet is consistently taking prevention purchased through your veterinarian and they develop heartworm disease or have intestinal parasites, the manufacturer will help pay for treatment for your pet. This is a great guarantee, given the poor prognosis of heartworm disease and the high cost of treatment.

Rebates & Discounts

Many prevention kits have rebates and discounts when purchased with a licensed veterinarian. Please speak with our team today to learn more!

As a practice, one of our goals is to offer state-of-the-art medicine and diagnostic testing, so we are pleased to offer ultrasound services to provide a higher level of quality care to our patients. Ultrasonography is a non-invasive and painless way to diagnose and evaluate many common diseases.

Unlike other imaging studies, like x-rays, ultrasonography does not use radiation and instead uses high-frequency sound waves to create a picture of what is inside your pet’s body. There are many uses for ultrasound machines in our animal hospital, including, but not limited to:

• Gathering imaging of abdominal organs, including the liver, spleen, gallbladder, and kidneys.
• Monitoring pregnancy in breeding animals.
• Assessing fetal health.
• Detecting abnormalities in the motion of heart waves, blood flow, and heart muscle contractions.

A radiograph (sometimes called an x-ray) is a photograph that can look inside the body and reveal information that may not be discernible from the outside. Radiographs are an invaluable tool that can help us diagnose your pet correctly. Our radiology service is staffed by caring, skilled professionals who will provide state-of-the-art care with compassion and expertise.

Radiography can be used to evaluate almost any organ and diagnose conditions in the body, including, but not limited to:

• Heart
• Lungs
• Kidneys
• Abdominal organs
• Bladder stones
• Broken bones
• Chronic arthritis
• Certain spinal cord disease
• Tumors, depending on their size

Petsburgh Pet Care provides internal medical care to pets in the greater Lafayette area. If your pet is sick, sometimes we may not recognize or notice due to a pet’s subtleties in communication and that it is an internal problem. With ultrasonography, endoscopy, and radiography available, our team of veterinary professionals will help diagnose and create an individualized care plan for your pet. We provide a wide range of care and even hospitalization if needed. Contact us today to learn more information.

Dental hygiene is essential to your pet’s health. Treats and chews to help control tartar aren’t the only things you can do to help your pet’s dental health. Let the team at Petsburgh Pet Care examine your pet’s teeth and gums to help determine if there are any issues. After a brief examination, we may recommend a more detailed examination (requiring sedation), a dental cleaning, or options for at-home dental care.

A dental examination can be done for owners who need an estimate provided before a dental procedure. Included in the plan are dental radiographs. Dental disease is found below the gumline, and dental radiology allows us to evaluate the root and bone structures. There may be teeth that need treatment that we will only know about once those radiographs are performed under anesthesia.
