Services

As part of our efforts to provide you with the highest quality veterinary medicine, we are pleased to provide a wide variety of surgical procedures. In our surgery room, we focus on maintaining your pet’s safety, proper pain management and being at the forefront of the latest surgical techniques in the field of veterinary medicine. That is why before submitting a patient to surgery, you are given a pre-anesthetic panel: a blood test to ensure that your pet is in the right conditions to undergo surgery under general anesthesia. During the process, the vital signs of your pet are monitored and our staff is in charge of monitoring the complete recovery of the pet after the surgery. Do not hesitate to ask if you have any concerns about any procedure, or if you have concerns about anesthesia, pain management or about the care we give you after the operation.

Most of our surgeries are routine procedures, such as castration and sterilization, but we are also able to perform other types of more complex surgeries. If you understand that your pet needs care from a specialist, we will give you a referral.

Does your pet’s mouth smell bad? The bad breath of a pet is not only a nuisance, it is also a sign of illness. As time goes by, the bacteria build up in the mouth, which causes bad breath. If left unattended, bacteria continue to accumulate, forming plaque and causing inflammation in the gums. As oral health declines, other problems begin, such as excessive salivation, pain on chewing, and loss of teeth. Dental hygiene is an important part of your pet’s complete health, as dental disease can lead to kidney, liver and heart disease

Our dental services include:

• Tooth cleaning
• Tooth extraction
• Dental X-rays

We want to think that your pet will live a long and healthy life, and we understand that maintaining oral hygiene is an important part of this. Call us today to discuss your pet’s oral hygiene needs and to help you.

We have a pharmacy stocked with drugs approved by the FDA. Best of all, we have the doctors who can offer you the safest and most personalized service to treat your pet’s illness. Also, with their experience they can offer you the most complete medical information, and have the ability to anticipate interactions and other problems that can result from improperly administering medications.

In addition to prescription medications, we have a variety of over-the-counter products, such as flea and tick products, heartworm preventatives, supplements, and vitamins.

We are happy to give you instructions about your pet’s prescription, so feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Help your pet recover with laser therapy! This noninvasive therapy has been scientifically proven and successful in the treatment of post-surgery pain and many other acute and chronic conditions.

Is laser therapy something new?

The beneficial effects of laser light on tissue were first recognized forty years ago. Since then, there have been thousands of studies documenting the positive effects that laser light has on different cells, tissues, and disorders. Advances in technology and manufacturing have made this treatment modality available and affordable for medical use.

What can be treated with laser therapy?

If your pet feels pain, has inflammation, or a wound, laser therapy is a sterile, pain-free, surgery-free, and drug-free treatment. The laser is used for a variety of injuries, wounds, fractures, neurological conditions, dermatological conditions, and pain. In Manati Veterinary Clinic, therapy has been very popular for the treatment of hip dislocation and arthritis. If your pet is being rehabilitated from a recent trauma, or simply getting older, this therapy can help provide a safe and quick way.

How long does each treatment take?

Treatment protocols are unique to each pet and condition. Therefore, the treatments are variable in time and complexity. For some chronic patients, multiple joints can be treated in one session. When appropriate, laser therapy may be complementary to other treatment plans.

How does it work?

The Companion™ laser system is a Class IV high power laser. This system emits photons of light of high energy deep in the tissue without doing damage. These photons are absorbed at the cellular level by the mitochondria, inducing a chemical change called “photobiomodulation.” This instead stimulates the production of ATP, or the fuel the cell needs to repair itself and rejuvenate itself. Injured cells do not produce this fuel optimally. Increased production of ATP, and the other physiological changes that stimulate laser therapy, helps maintain healthy tissue and your pet will thank you.

Grooming

Your pet deserves a full luxurious treatment. Our special baths help remove dirt and make your pet feel refreshed. If itching is a problem, our medicated baths contain agents that neutralize the source of itching and control it.

Also our groomer makes professional cuts to give a new “look” to your pet.

Nutrition plays a big role in the health of your pet. The nutritional requirements of animals change depending on age, weight, and activity level. Also, because of some diseases you have to change your diet. In our inventory we have a variety of premium foods to meet the needs of your pet. However, if your pet has special dietary requirements, or if you need to lower (or gain weight), we offer our nutritional counseling services and our special meals that can only be prescribed by veterinarians.

Saying goodbye to a pet is one of the most difficult situations that a pet owner will encounter in his life. There are times that the advances and capabilities of the medical sciences are not enough for animal welfare, and euthanasia is the only remaining alternative to eliminate unnecessary suffering. However, euthanasia is a medical process that needs to be discussed (however painful) and considered in depth before a decision is made. Let us help you in this difficult situation.

Making the decision to euthanize a pet is very difficult and needs the consultation of a veterinarian. If you are having difficulty caring for a pet with a terminal illness; Or if your pet has an illness that is causing you a lot of pain and poor quality of life; Or if your pet is simply old enough to feel that he is suffering. Have the confidence to visit us to carefully discuss this situation with your doctor. We are compassionate, and professional when it comes to decisions like these and we will take care of it in the best environment, in peace, and free from suffering.
