It is an essential part of your pet’s health maintenance. When your pet has excess fur, it becomes more prone to matting and allergies, and may develop skin conditions, including cysts and ear infections. It is during the grooming process that many health problems are discovered. In severe cases, pets can have fur matting that is tightly wound and can actually lead to problems with blood circulation. Getting your pet groomed routinely can help avoid these problems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609ad9f9b8f6540845598912/1621351347806-ZUV2Y52NTHK9SLF2NP51/autri-taheri-l0Gq4BmboYY-unsplash.jpg Grooming - How Grooming Works How our groomer helps your pet depends largely on the type of pet you have, and whether it currently has excess matting. Grooming can either consist of basic grooming or full grooming. Basic grooming includes shampooing and conditioning, blow-drying and brushing out, nail trimming, ear trimming, and anal gland cleaning. Full grooming includes everything from basic grooming, with the added service of shaving or styling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609ad9f9b8f6540845598912/1621352753676-CGMJ4LD8H9UUCXVM67NT/IMG_0531.JPG Grooming - Benefits of Grooming at the Vet There are health conditions, like cysts and other growths or skin infections, that could be hiding under your pet's fur that you have not discovered. While some outside groomers may catch things that are signs of health concerns, they do not have the specific training to do so. There could be health conditions present that still are missed. When your pet is groomed at Brighton Veterinary Hospital, it is already at its vet's office and concerns can be addressed quicker. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609ad9f9b8f6540845598912/1621352251364-WZGFH8HRGSLNX22Q9YYH/IMG_4058.jpeg Grooming - Visit Our Animal Hospital At our facility, our professionals can handle any kind of pet grooming.

These procedures make it impossible for your pet to have offspring. Females have a spay surgery, while males receive a neuter surgery. These surgeries can help prevent unwanted offspring and can prevent certain forms of cancer in pets. Spay and neuter surgeries are fairly simple, often taking only a few minutes. Furthermore, spay and neuter surgeries are very safe and can be performed on most dogs or cats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609ad9f9b8f6540845598912/1635798268706-YMD3TQ4QG3P3ZTTT39QH/unsplash-image-TPZNooS1Meg.jpg Pet Surgery - Diagnostic Surgeries Sometimes, pets have growths or tumors that form over time. Try as they might, veterinarians don't always have all of the answers for what the growth is made of. When this happens, the vet will schedule a diagnostic surgery to remove or biopsy the growth. This surgery is quick and painless and often takes only a few minutes. The diagnostic surgery can help diagnose a larger medical problem and can help provide fast and early treatment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609ad9f9b8f6540845598912/1620943893669-3VGUUJTBKEUUMBROTQ13/werzk-luuu-tDlo2ZPlQlU-unsplash.jpg Pet Surgery - What to Expect Before any surgery, your vet will perform a variety of diagnostic tests. This can include taking your pet's blood work, diagnostic images, along with simply checking your pet's temperature and heart rate. Your veterinarian wants to ensure that your pet is healthy enough to undergo surgery so that your pet will benefit from the procedure. Following the surgery, we will provide you with aftercare instructions. These might include medication such as antibiotics to reduce the chance of infection or activity limits to allow your pet to heal properly. Depending on the type of surgery, a veterinarian may want to schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your pet's recovery progress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609ad9f9b8f6540845598912/1635798395620-IVT66G6GCQV4GJYM52GR/IMG_4058.jpeg Pet Surgery - Surgical Care for Pets in New Brighton, MN At Brighton Veterinary Hospital, we care for your pets as if they were our own.

They are considered to be the most effective way to prevent diseases. However, certain animals are more at risk than others. For example, if an animal travels or is boarded in some sort of kennel, there is additional risk of exposure. This is why vaccine plans are specifically designed for each pet. However, there are certain core vaccines that every dog and cat need to have. If you have questions about which vaccines need to be administered to your pet, our veterinary team can help you. They can look at your pet’s medical history and determine if it has any risk factors. Then, they can create a customized treatment plan for your dog or cat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609ad9f9b8f6540845598912/1635799171001-0RU01JPTIU0NH3IHB5D8/ralu-gal-G8cB8hY3yvU-unsplash.jpg Wellness and Preventative Care - Parasite Control Parasite control and prevention is also very important. Parasites can either be external, such as ticks and fleas, or internal, such as intestinal worms. External parasites are usually easier to detect, since you can see them on your pet. However, internal parasites being more difficult to spot can cause very serious problems. In some cases, they can be transmissible to humans. Some parasites can also become very harmful to your pet if they grow and multiply. It is important that you take your pet to the vet on a regular basis. That way, we can conduct comprehensive fecal analyses to determine whether or not your pet has internal parasites. https://www.brightonvethospital.com/spay-neuter daily 0.75 2024-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609ad9f9b8f6540845598912/1635799748617-HWPYLNM1R6I6ZA6TYYT9/unsplash-image-4_YakZekVv0.jpg Spay Neuter Why Spay/Neuter? Spaying or neutering your cat or dog makes a positive impact on your pet, you, and your community. Here's how: By preventing your cat or dog from being able to reproduce, you do your part in preventing unwanted kittens and puppies. Unwanted kittens and puppies often end up feral where they can cause conflict with wildlife and other animals, or are sent to shelters. Sadly, many of these animals are unable to find a forever home and are eventually euthanized. Female cats and dogs who are spayed don't go into heat, don't menstruate, and often exhibit fewer problem behaviors. Male cats and dogs who are neutered often exhibit fewer behavioral problems like aggression and territorial marking. Having this procedure done may promote a longer lifespan and reduce your pet's risk of certain health conditions, including cancer of the ovaries or testes. Caring for a pregnant animal or a litter of puppies and kittens can get quite expensive. In comparison, spay and neuter procedures are much less expensive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609ad9f9b8f6540845598912/1635803660605-MDQCLDR1HLKQBI15EI3Z/unsplash-image-PcKhVNNyEio.jpg Spay Neuter When to Neuter or Spay Your Pet At our New Brighton animal hospital, we stand with leading animal health organizations like the ASPCA who advise spaying or neutering dogs between the ages of 6 to 9 months, or cats before age 5 months. If your puppy or kitten is healthy, he or she can undergo this beneficial procedure as early as 8 weeks old. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609ad9f9b8f6540845598912/1635803697364-U95HUPH35Y4XBSRJ1CF2/unsplash-image-qGkVJ7Tx36s.jpg Spay Neuter Things to Know When It's Time to Get Your Pet Spayed/Neutered Our staff will walk you through your pet's spay or neuter procedure every step of the way. We're happy to answer your questions and help you know how to prepare for the appointment and how to look after your pet after the procedure is done. Here are some of our favorite recovery tips: Give your pet somewhere quiet and comfortable to relax Watch for rare complications, like infections or bleeding Keep the incision dry and clean https://www.brightonvethospital.com/new-page-3 daily 0.75 2021-11-01 https://www.brightonvethospital.com/what-to-expect daily 0.75 2024-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg What to Expect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg What to Expect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg What to Expect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609ad9f9b8f6540845598912/1635797317434-XR61BGUKKSQ37RNAHEI2/unsplash-image-k24rOBJ2D_0.jpg What to Expect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609ad9f9b8f6540845598912/1635796025399-8ZXIAYMKJLRMAFBDJ1Z6/sam-manns-lBdVjQcfSRQ-unsplash.jpg What to Expect - Our Clinic When you are looking for a veterinary care clinic you should be able to count on superior care and excellent service.
