Pet Laser Therapy for dogs and cats is one of the most exciting new treatment modalities of the new millennium. Simple, rapid and painless - actually pleasant - pet laser therapy is being used to improve healing of wounds and infections, reduce the pain of arthritis, and even help dogs walk again after surgery. Therapy laser uses low frequency. These invisible lasers can penetrate tissue without damaging it, and there they "excite" the cells without damaging them. Because it works at the mitochondrial level, it has no effect on bacteria, so it can be used where infection exists. This has the effect of stimulating or speeding the process of healing, and decreasing inflammation that can cause pain. When a pet is accepted for laser treatment, the initial series is a minimum of 6 sessions spread over a 2-week time frame. The Pleasant Valley Veterinary Clinic uses a K Laser brand Class IV therapy laser. It is considered one of the most advanced and superior therapy laser available. Call The Pleasant Valley Vet Clinic for more information on Laser Therapy.
Pet dental care is one of the most important services we provide. Depending on the amount of tarter and other factors, general anesthesia may or may not be required. We routinely perform professional cleaning, polishing and complete assessment of oral health. We offer a range of treatments to reduce future problems and in some cases can salvage diseased teeth. All levels of dental extractions are available and full pain control is always provided. Call for a consultation.
This is one of the most difficult decisions that we as pet owners will ever have to make. The Pleasant Valley Veterinary Clinic will be there when it's time to say goodbye. We offer a variety of options, and will customize our procedure to meet your needs, including burial services, plus cremation services through Miller-Kaser Cremation Services.
