Services
Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best:
- Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services: Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.
- Behavioral Counseling: We can provide
advice regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking,
chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling and aggression. Please print and fill out the behavior questionaire prior to your appointment.
- Surgical Services: Our state-of-the-art surgical suite provides for the performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures.
-
Anesthesia: We
utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide that extra margin of
safety, especially for our older or high risk patients. During all
anesthetic procedures the patient's vital signs are monitored using the
most modern equipment, such as pulse ox, EKG, respiratory monitor and
blood pressure. For more information about anesthetic safety please refer to our surgical FAQ's.

Digital Dental Radiographs: The Blue Cross Animal Hospital recently added digital dental x-ray technology. Digital x-ray processing allows us to use much lower x-ray settings, that is safer for our patients and staff. It also requires no developing which means shorter anesthesia and no harm to the environment! The quality of the x-ray views is remarkably improved. Good news all around!

Laboratory: Our in-house laboratory facilities provide for serum chemistry, hematology, serology, urinalysis and parasite testing. We also utilize commercial veterinary laboratories for specialized diagnostics and consultations.
