Services

Preventive Medicine/Wellness Care

We strive to prevent illness whenever possible. The time and effort invested in Wellness programs has rewards for both pets and owners. Our Wellness programs are designed specifically for your pet and include: Comprehensive physical exam; internal parasite testing; heartworm, flea and tick flea control; vaccination program; spay and neuter package; and specialized blood tests for all life stages.

Internal Medicine

We cover all areas of internal medicine, including: Cardiology; Ophthalmology; Neurology; Dermatology; Gastroenterology; Orthopedic surgery; Oncology; Endocrinology; among others. We also have excellent working relationships with local specialists if referral is needed.

Surgery

We offer the most advanced surgical techniques and technology. All patients are carefully screened for safety, and anesthetics are specifically tailored to your pet. Surgical services and facilities include: Fully trained veterinary and nursing staff, to ensure the safest, most efficient, state-of-the-art procedures for your pet; advanced sterilization techniques; ECG and oxygen saturation monitors; intensive after surgery care and full blood testing; board certified surgeons available for consultation when necessary as well as access to multiple regional  referral hospitals that can provide specialty services as needed.

Dental Care

We help you learn what you can do at home to prevent or reduce your pets risk of dental disease.  In animals, just as for people, regular professional cleaning is also important to maintaining your pets teeth. We use modern and safe ultrasonic scaling to clean each tooth thoroughly above and below the gum line. Dental technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup. Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity.

Behavioral Medicine

Behavior problems are a top cause of peoples frustration with their pets.  From puppyhood or kittenhood up through our senior pets, behavior problems can develop.  We can help with basic housetraining and manners, recommend trainers when needed, and help if you just have questions about your pets behavior.  Our veterinarians can help determine the cause of such disorders as separation anxiety and obsessive behavior, and then develop a treatment regimen for you.  Sometimes, behavior changes can be a sign of illness, as well.  The earlier a behavior problem is addressed, the better (and usually quicker) the resolution.  So let us know if your pet has any abnormal or problematic behavior!

For more complicated behavioral issues we offer behavioral consultation. These consults are extended visits in which we can try to identify the problems you are dealing with and try to find a resolution that is best for you and your pet. Prior to a behavioral consultation we would like you to fill out the Behavioral Consultation Form and return it to us before the visit so we can review the history and begin to formulate a plan.

Fully Stocked Pharmacy

We stock a wide range of the best veterinary drugs in the animal healthcare field. We now also offer access to VetSource, an online veterinary pharmacy to allow us access to a larger variety of medications. VetSource (Home Delivery) also works with veterinarians and pharmaceutical companies to assure quality as well as the guarantee that medications are coming from reputable sources

Emergency and Critical Care

In any emergency, seconds count. Our experienced staff is backed up by our mobile resuscitation unit, stocked and equipped to administer basic and advanced life support in case of emergency. Emergency care is offered during regular business hours. Critical patients would need to transfer to a 24 hour clinic for after hours care, as we are not staffed after hours for critical patients. In addition, we use the services of  local, fully staffed emergency centers:

1. Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care of New Hampshire(VECCNH) Newington
2. Port City Referral Hospital  Portsmouth

Radiology

Radiology  or X-rays  help our veterinarians evaluate muscular-skeletal, cardiovascular (cardiopulmonary), gastrointestinal, reproductive and urinary systems.

Pain Management

Veterinary patients feel pain and discomfort under the same circumstances as people do. We know that recognizing and alleviating pain in animals is the essence of good patient care.

Geriatric and Hospice Care

When our pets age, they can have a number of ongoing health issues that need to be managed. This care becomes more intensive in our geriatric and terminally ill patients. Our team at CPVC is dedicated to supporting good quality of life for our sick and aging patients, including pain management, exercise/physical therapy, palliative care, nutrition/appetite support, and more.

End of Life Care / Euthanasia

Saying goodbye to a long-time friend is painful. We work with clients to ensure their pet's comfort and dignity. We understand the difficulty associated with end of life decisions and we try to be available to our clients to discuss any concerns or questions you may have. Due to the sensitive nature of euthanasia decisions we try to work around your schedule to make this most difficult decision as comfortable as possible. Euthanasia can be scheduled at the clinic, or we can arrange to go to your home in order to make this difficult situation as comfortable as possible for you and your pet. We have partnered with Final Gift Pet Memorial Center to provide cremation services and/or burial for your beloved pets. 

Microchipping

Microchips have helped reunite thousands of pets with their families. We offer the most widely used microchip products to increase the chances of a safe recovery. We also partner with Home Again, a proactive service that provides full microchipping services to improve the chance of reuniting pets with their families.

Nutritional Counseling

Some pets require special food, and all pets benefit from a balanced diet. Our trained staff is available to help you choose the right diet for your pet to keep him or her happy, healthy and active.

UltraSound

This non-invasive technology uses sound waves to painlessly examine specific internal organs, primarily the abdominal organs. Pregnancy exams are also available.  For evaluation of the heart via ultrasound, board-certified cardiologist referrrals are available.

Therapeutic Laser Treatment

Laser therapy promotes photo-biomodulation (the ability of light waves to affect cells and tissue healing). Laser wave frequencies have been shown to penetrate tissues well and provide stimulation to cells that promote healing, and relieve pain and inflammation. There are many uses for therapeutic laser, but among the most common are for arthritis, chronic and acute pain, and wound healing. Laser therapy can be used one time, or repeated up to 2-3 times weekly, and is safe to use long term. And most pets enjoy the treatment, which provides comforting warmth to the treated tissues.
