Regular Health Examinations

Regular health examinations are encouraged for all patients as it is important to detect medical problems as early as possible. The care which begins early in a puppy or a kitten's life will pay extra dividends once your companion becomes geriatric. Clients should keep in mind that dogs and cats age about 5 times faster than human's age (an 8 year old dog is the same age as a 40 year old person); therefore, we recommend health examinations twice a year.

Emergency Services

We handle emergencies as a top priority, and we make sure emergency services are available 24 hours a day. Call our office after hours at 913-381-3272; our answering machine will give you the home phone numbers of the three veterinarians, plus the phone numbers of the two closest emergency clinics.

Vaccinations

One of the most effective ways of protecting your pet's health is to provide immunization against various common and sometimes deadly diseases. Our policy is to provide the best protection for your pet without over-vaccinating your pet.

Grooming

Grooming is available by appointment.

Dietary Planning

A sound diet is vital to the health of your pet at any age. Dietary requirements are essential for proper weight maintenance, performance, growth, and aid in the treatment of diseases.

Dental Care

Our specialized services include cleaning, polishing, tooth extraction, and oral surgery.

Geriatric Care

Your pet is considered a senior at 6 to 8 years of age. We recommend a geriatric profile starting at that age including a complete comprehensive blood workup, a complete urinalysis, and chest x-rays. This gives the doctors a database to work from should problems later develop.

Laser Surgery

We are excited to offer a higher level of care for your pets. Laser surgery is very beneficial for several procedures including cat declaws, tumor removal, wart removal, gum surgery, lick granuloma, and entropion repair.

Laser Surgery offers the following benefits:

" Decreased Post-Op Pain - laser energy seals nerve endings
" Decreased Swelling - reduced trauma to tissue
" Less Bleeding - laser energy seals small blood vessels as it cuts during surgery
" Reduced Infection - laser energy sterilizes as it is used, killing bacteria that can cause infection
" Quicker Recovery - with less bleeding, swelling, and pain, the patient can resume normal activity at a faster rate

Puppy Day Out

Doggie Day Care is available on a "first come" basis. Regular patients of State Line AH have first priority. Please call our office to make arrangements.
