Primary Care and Specialized Services

At ZCVC, we are proud to provide high quality services to our clients and patients.

Wellness

We provide wellness and preventive care for dogs and cats of all ages including the following:

  • Examinations: Since dogs and cats age more quickly than humans, at least annual physical examinations are recommended.
  • Vaccines: Vaccine protocols are tailored to the individual pet taking their lifestyle into consideration.
  • Diet and nutrition advice
  • Parasite testing and prevention
  • Microchips
  • Behavior consults

Diagnostics

If your pet is ill, we have many diagnostic tools at our disposal, including the following:

  • In-house and outside laboratory testing (e.g. blood, urine, etc.)
  • Cytology (ear swabs, skin scrapings, sampling masses, etc)
  • Blood pressure
  • Digital radiographs (x-rays) with radiologist consult capability
  • Ultrasound

Surgery and Dentistry

We perform surgical and dentistry procedures 4 days per week. To minimize anesthetic and surgical risks, pre-anesthetic bloodwork is run on all patients, and anesthetic protocols are tailored to the individual pet. We use state-of-the-art monitoring equipment, and our team is very well-trained to give your pet the best possible care. Our surgical suite is also equipped with a surgical laser. Procedures we perform include:

  • Spay and neuter
  • Soft tissue surgery
  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Dentistry: Full mouth dental radiographs (x-rays) are performed on all dental patients to completely evaluate for any disease below the gum line.

End-of-Life Care

We know some decisions about your pet can be very difficult to make. Our team is here to answer questions and provide support regarding your pet’s quality of life, as well as euthanasia decisions. We have a separate room dedicated to euthanasia appointments so that you and your pet may be as comfortable as possible. You are welcome to be with your pet throughout the euthanasia process. We offer cremation services, as well as mementos (e.g. pawprints) or urns to memorialize your pet.
