Animal Clinic Services
OUR SERVICES
We stress the importance of an annual physical examination for your pet.
Thorough checkups and preventative care can help alleviate serious health
problems. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions
feeling their best.
Diagnostic & Therapeutic Services: Our Clinic is equipped to
provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pet’s healthcare
needs.
Surgical Services: Our surgical suite provides for the
performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures.
Anesthesia: We utilize the safest available anesthetics to
provide an extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high-risk
patients. Our technicians closely monitor the patient’s vital signs during all
anesthetic procedures.
Radiology Services: Our on-site, x-ray equipment provides high
quality radiographs to aid in the diagnosis of many disorders.
Dentistry: As for humans it is recommended that your pet’s teeth be cleaned on a
regular basis. Dr. Niedermiller will guide you through a preventative Dental
Hygiene Program for your pets. Our dental services include teeth cleaning and
polishing, tooth extractions and minor oral surgery.
Permanent Identification: We offer microchip identification.
Pharmacy: We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals,
vitamins, shampoos, flea & tick control products and heartworm preventatives to
meet the need of your pets. We also carry a full line of prescription diets.
Vaccinations: We do not approach vaccinations with a “cookie
cutter” mentality. Dr. Niedermiller will select your pet’s vaccinations
according to you and your pet’s lifestyle. Be sure to inquire about our “Free
Vaccines For the Life Of Your Pet,” program!
Mobile Services: Our Mobile Veterinary Services offers our
clients an alternative to the stress of an office visit with a nervous and
scared pet. We provide full basic veterinary care in the comfort of your own
home.
Advantages of having your pet cared for at your own home:
- No Accidents in Your Car when transporting your pet(s) to the
Clinic.
- No Waiting In A Veterinary Clinic. Relax at home or in your
office and get necessary work done while we come to you.
- No More Exposure To Possible Contagious Pets in the waiting
room.
- Do Away With Multiple Trips to the Clinic when you have
several pets.
- The Most Important Advantage is to your pet(s). They will be
much more at ease in their own home.
Wellness Exams: Dr. Niedermiller recommends that a
wellness exam be done every six months or at the least annually
because of the increased rate at which our pets age. The earlier we
can discover a problem the sooner we can begin treatment or
preventative therapy.
Acupuncture: Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific areas (“acupoints”)
on the body with very fine needles. There are at least 360 classical
acupoints, and additional ones have been defined over the years. When
acupoints are stimulated, the body reacts with a complex cellular and
nervous system response that involves the brain, the spinal cord, and
blood vessels. This initiates the release of
neurotransmitters-endorphins, serotonin, and other chemicals– that are
beneficial to the body’s normal function. One can affect pain control,
inflammation, and more delicate biochemical processes, depending upon
which neurotransmitters are released.
Does it hurt? It is usually not painful to have acupuncture needles
inserted in the skin, but a mild sensation may be felt. Animals
tolerate treatments very well, and many fall asleep during treatment.
What can be treated? Acupuncture may be used to address immunological
disorders, neurological complaints, (such as seizures or paralysis),
as well as gastro-intestinal, dermatological, and emotional
conditions…to name just a few. Although many of our patients are
referred to us from other practitioners after conventional medicine
has not worked or has caused undesirable side effects, just as many
owners now choose to use acupuncture proactively in their pets, to
optimize good health, and try to minimize problems associated with
aging.

Parasite Control: We have medications to treat both
internal and external parasites. Ask Dr. Niedermiller or a member of our
staff which treatment may be best for your pet.
Euthanasia: For an animal-lover there is no decision
more difficult then authorizing euthanasia. Though it is a painful
choice, too often, it is the right choice for your companion. Euthanasia
is a painful decision that is most difficult for an animal lover. This
humane procedure offers modern veterinary medicine a clear advantage
over illness that prolongs the suffering of both of you. Home euthanasia
becomes another option to the owner via our mobile veterinary services.
We can also make suggestions to help make final arrangements. This would
include such things as communal cremation, individual cremation and
cemetery burial.
