preventative care

Preventative medicine is the key to your pet's long-term health! Routine vaccines and wellness exams are a great start to keeping your pet healthy. Take these opportunities to ask us about nutrition, behavior and other issues.
​
​Other screenings that should be addressed on a regular basis include parasite checks, heartworm and tick-borne disease testing, oral exams and bloodwork. Remember: It's much easier on both you and your pet to prevent disease rather than treat it!

routine care

All of us at Lyons Veterinary Clinic hope we don't need to see your pet outside of their regular wellness exams, but if your pet does become sick, we are here to meet their needs!

​Some of the common problems we diagnose are treat are skin, eye, bladder, ear and respiratory infections. Whatever your needs are, we will work with you and your pet to restore their health as quickly as possible!

dental cleanings

Pet dental care may be more important than you think! Studies show that there is an association between oral health issues and the overall health of your pet. Oral care has a profound impact on our pet's general health. Periodontal disease may cause bacteria and toxins to enter the bloodstream which can potentially have deleterious effects on internal organs. Prophylactic dental care can prevent this and is extremely important for the overall health of your furry friend. This is why oral exams are always FREE at our clinic.

Did you know that 75% of pets have dental disease by three years of age? Infection and inflammation of the gums and supporting tissues of the teeth are caused by bacteria present in plaque and calculus (tartar). Dental disease begins when plaque and calculus are allowed to build up on the teeth, especially below the gum line. The first thing you might notice is bad breath, bleeding and redness of the gums. Without proper care this can lead to loosening and the eventual loss of teeth. The regular use of oral care products and routine dental cleanings when recommended by your pet's veterinarian are the best way to stay on top of your pet's oral health.

surgery

Our surgery team works hard to provide the best possible care for your pet. We focus on comfort and pain management before, during and after every surgical procedure we perform. Common surgical procedures include spays, neuters, mass removals, laceration repairs, abscess drainage and dental extractions.

​We also have access to a traveling veterinary that performs more intricate surgeries for us such as TPLOs, TECAs and laparoscopic gastropexies.

laser therapy

Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment designed to reduce pain and inflammation and speed up the healing process. This treatment is quickly becoming the standard of care in both human and veterinary medicine. Our staff members administer laser therapy via a hand piece that emits this therapeutic infrared light in a fast, drug free and soothing treatment. The light can treat surface problems such as wound as well as deeper structures, penetrating through fur skin and fat if necessary to reach damaged tissue.

Dr. Duncan utilizes out laser to prem quick and painless acupuncture to her furry patients. Doing acupuncture by way of laser allows for us to greatly decrease treatment time; this is great for those wiggly uncooperating patients.

prp injections

we are lucky to be able to offer a non-invasive treatment that can treat your pet's tears, defects, degeneration of muscles, tendons or ligaments.

By concentrating a patient's own platelets and growth factors we are able to inject this plasma into their injured or affected joints to speed the healing process.

in clinic pharmacy

We are lucky to be able to prescribe and send patients home with the necessary medications they need. This means that as a client you do not need to drive to a separate pharmacy to pick up your pet's medications.

You can even request refills of your pet's medications from our PetPage App!

Retail store

We offer a convenient stop for you to pick up your pet's food, treats and toys without the need of traveling to town.

We do our best to keep up with industry standards and only carry products that are trusted by our primary vet, Dr. Duncan.

If we don't carry what you are looking for, let us know. We may be able to order it for you. It never hurts to ask!

On average, pets age five to seven times faster than people age. This means that serious illnesses can develop in just a few months time. Wellness exams are the cornerstone to keeping your senior pet feeling young and healthy. Simple screening tests can help detect many diseases before they become major problems. Our goal for senior pets is not only to extend their life, but to also improve their quality of life that's why we have UNITED VETERINARY HOSPICE.

The United Veterinary Hospice team provides medical and supportive care for aging patients, patients with chronic conditions or pets in need of hospice care. We provide care consultations, acupuncture, laser therapy and massage therapy at one of our affiliate clinics or in the comfort of your own home.
