Preventive Care

Dental Care
Good oral health is an important part of the wellbeing of your pet. Regular dental checkups and dental cleanings at Duluth Animal Hospital, combined with good dental hygiene at home, can increase health, vitality, and well-being.
Vaccination
Feline Leukemia: This virus is transmitted through the saliva of an infected cat, and pets at risk for contact with other cats should receive this vaccine. Infection can be hard to detect, as the virus can affect any organ and the symptoms can vary wildly. No medication can eliminate it, so treatment is aimed at managing symptoms as the disease progresses. This vaccine is boostered every 1-2 years in adult cats, depending on age and prior vaccination history.
Behavioral Counseling
Â€¢ Obedience - Training is important for your pet's health because behavioral problems account for more deaths in dogs than any known disease. In fact, a well-trained and obedient dog is more likely to live to a ripe old age than a poorly trained one. Obedience-trained dogs are less likely to be involved in car accidents and dogfights, tend to be happier, and are less likely to have behavioral problems. The checkup provides an opportunity to discuss training techniques and behavior concerns with your veterinarian.
Nutritional Counseling
Â€¢ Diet - Diet is one of the most important considerations in health maintenance. Its importance lies not only in optimizing a pet's health, but also in the prevention and management of many diseases. Nutritional counseling is an essential part of the veterinarian's checkup and many owners use the opportunity to gain valuable advice on what to feed their pets.
Comprehensive Examination
Regular wellness exams are one of the most important things you can do to keep your pet healthy. We perform nose to tail comprehensive physical examinations on every patient, from newborn puppies to elderly seniors in order to monitor their lifelong health. The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) recommends annual wellness exams at a minimum and as your pet ages, they suggest an increase in frequency of visits. Pets age much faster than humans and health problems can emerge and progress very quickly. Prevention and early detection are the key to a longer, healthier life.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Heartworm is not only a disease for dogs; cats can get Heartworm, too. Learn more by visiting The Feline Heartworm Society.
Behavioral Disorder Treatment
FVRCP: Distemper is easily spread and so common that nearly all cats, regardless of breed or lifestyle, will come into contact with it at some point in their lifetime. Characterized by fever, vomiting, and diarrhea, it progresses rapidly and can be fatal in as little as 12 hours if left untreated, and kittens and senior cats are especially susceptible. The Feline Distemper vaccine is a vaccination that protects cats against three diseases â€“ Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia, also known as Feline Distemper.
Pain Management
Each patient receives individual nursing care during their recovery to ensure they wake safely and comfortably with their nurse. Not only does pain hurt, it can also slow healing, decrease activity, and cause behavioral changes such as aggression, anxiety, and depression. We are dedicated to take steps to help your pet have the fastest, most comfortable post-operative experience possible. We use the best, safest medications available. Acupuncture can also be used as a part of pain management for your loved one.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
If you thought it would be harmless to mix pets and fireworks, think again. All fireworks should be kept at a safe distance from curious and unsuspecting pets. Anything from small smoke bombs and sparklers to large aerial displays has the potential to cause severe burns. The face, mouth and paws are the most common places pets get burned by fireworks. Furthermore, fireworks can also contain heavy metals that are used as coloring agents and may cause poisoning if ingested. Symptoms of heavy metal/fireworks poisoning include vomiting, lethargy, diarrhea, jaundice, tremors and seizures.
Injury Treatment
Intestinal Foreign Object Removal

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
Leptospirosis: Leptospirosis is a bacteria spread through water, soil, and the urine of infected animals like raccoons, opossums, skunks, dogs, and even rodents such as mice in your home. Especially at risk are dogs who drink from puddles and swim in lakes, rivers, and streams that can become contaminated. Once infected, the bacteria spreads quickly through a dog's bloodstream and can cause kidney and liver failure. Unfortunately Lepto mimics many other illnesses in its symptoms, which can make it difficult to diagnose. This disease is transmissible to humans and can be deadly.
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Distemper/Parvo Vaccine: Parvovirus is a common, highly contagious, and potentially lethal disease. It can be tracked on shoes, clothes, and hands and can live in the environment for up to a year after a contagious dog passes through. It attacks the digestive system, causing severe vomiting, bleeding, and diarrhea. In untreated dogs, the death rate can be up to 90% and the supportive treatment is very expensive. Similarly, Distemper virus is a highly contagious virus that attacks the respiratory, digestive, brain, and nervous systems of dogs.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Heart Disease Treatment
Ultrasound allows high quality, non-invasive imaging of the abdomen and chest. It provides a computer image of internal organs using sound waves and allows us to visualize objects that cannot be detected by X-Rays alone. In this way, the internal structure of organs can be visualized and lesions can be found. Many problems can be accurately diagnosed without anesthesia such as heart disease, liver disease, abnormal blood flow, and bladder stones. Ultrasound can also aid in pregnancy evaluation, urine collection, biopsy, and organ size and health. This painless, safe, noninvasive procedure is one of the many ways we strive to give you peace of mind when it comes to your pet's health.
Kidney Disease Treatment
Proper nutrition and a balanced diet, along with fresh, clean water, can make a huge difference in the overall health and lifespan of your pet. As your pet's caregiver, nutrition is the most significant health variable you can control. Duluth Animal Hospital has veterinary nutritional advocates on staff to help provide guidance to all pet owners on proper nutrition during all life stages. Nutritional needs vary by life stage, activity level, and health condition - just like you wouldn't feed steak to an infant, a puppy should not be given food designed for elderly dog. We also use prescription veterinary diets to aid in the treatment of allergies, weight management, joint care, and the treatment of chronic diseases such as thyroid, urinary, or kidney disease.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Before the physical examination begins, your veterinarian asks you questions concerning your dog's state of health. This is very important for determining whether or not there are problem areas that need to be addressed. After obtaining a history, your veterinarian performs a physical examination on your dog. Starting at the head, your veterinarian examines the eyes, ears, face, and mouth. Examining the teeth is especially important since up to 85% of all dogs and cats over four years of age have some degree of periodontal disease! Early detection of periodontal disease is important, not only for effective treatment but also future prevention.
Cancer Treatment
Lumps/Growths: Bumps and growths on the body can range from nothing to worry about to serious medical concerns. Early detection is the key to successful cancer treatment. Cancer can show up in any part of the body, and comprehensive physicals are a key component to finding these abnormalities. We can even perform needle biopsies during an exam for more rapid information on the cells within a lump found on the body.

Emergency Care

Wound and Fracture Care
Radiographs, or X-rays, are one of the most common and useful diagnostic tools in medicine, because of their ability to penetrate tissues and show your pet's organs and bones. We use state-of-the-art digital radiology equipment which means less exposure to pets, better and clearer x-rays, and the availability to consult with boarded radiologists for a second opinion if needed. X-rays allow us to assess bone fractures and abnormalities, soft tissue problems, orthopedic issues, and more. Digital radiology also provides the ability to perform full-mouth x-rays of the jaws and teeth during dental procedures to probe for underlying bone loss, infection, or tooth fractures. Advanced diagnostic capabilities are an extremely important part of veterinary medicine, especially since we can't simply ask our patients what is wrong.
Poisoning Treatment

Surgery

Veterinary Surgery
Our doctors are experienced in many types of surgeries and procedures. Advanced dentistry, soft tissue, laser, and orthopedic surgical services are some of these. We are proud to offer laparoscopic surgery services as well.
Laser Surgery
Lasers are a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery. Lasers can replace scalpels in many procedures, improving many surgical procedures by making them simpler with more precision and control and reducing risk. The reduction in bleeding results in clearer and drier surgical sites. This enables surgeries that are not practical with conventional methods, and are useful for a wide range of conditions, such as cyst, tumor, and wart removal and more.

Lab and X-Rays

Laboratory Services
We know how important it is to get the fastest possible results when your pet is not feeling well. We employ outside laboratories for many of our wellness and diagnostic tests, but our hospital also hosts a comprehensive, in-house laboratory that allows for a broad range of blood, urine, and fecal tests, as well as cytologies and cultures. This availability can be especially important for critically ill pets, where blood chemistry profiles can be completed in a short time to allow the fastest possible treatment.
X-Ray
Microchipping
Million pets get lost each year? 33% of all dogs and cats will become lost during their lifetime and without ID, 90% won't return home. Unfortunately, becoming lost is the number one cause of pet death. Microchipping is quick and painless, similar to your pet's vaccines and is implanted beneath the skin between the shoulder blades. We offer the most widely detected microchips to increase the chances of a safe recovery. We also employ universal microchip scanners here at the hospital, so if you find a lost pet, you may bring them by during business hours to have them scanned for the presence of a chip.

General Pet Care

Boarding
We also provide boarding for exotic pets, including rabbits, guinea pigs, and parrots. For these, we ask that you bring their cage, bedding, food, and any necessary items. Please call us if you have any questions regarding exotic pet boarding.
Grooming
Dog Training
So you have a cute furry companion who loves to play fetch and go to the dog park. But are they well-behaved? It really doesn't matter whether your canine is a four-pound Chihuahua or a 104-pound Rottweiler. An untrained dog is an invitation to disaster. And a dog that won't come when called is always in danger.
