Our Veterinary Services
At Canton Animal Hospital, we are proud to provide compassionate, high-quality veterinary care for pets throughout every stage of life. From preventative wellness care to diagnostics, dentistry, surgery, and end-of-life support, our experienced team is committed to helping your pets live healthier, happier lives.
SURGERY
We offer a wide range of surgical procedures, including routine spays and neuters, mass removals, soft tissue surgery, and select orthopedic procedures. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities, and our team closely monitors patients before, during, and after surgery.
Certain procedures may also be performed using a surgical laser, which can help reduce bleeding, swelling, and discomfort while improving recovery time. If your pet may benefit from surgery, our doctors are happy to discuss treatment options and schedule a pre-surgical consultation.

DENTAL
|
Dental health plays an important role in your pet’s overall well-being. Our dental procedures include professional cleanings, scaling above and below the gum line, dental evaluations, and tooth extractions when necessary.
All dental procedures are performed under general anesthesia to allow for a safe, thorough cleaning and full oral examination. We recommend pre-anesthetic bloodwork and IV catheterization with fluids to help maximize safety and monitor your pet closely throughout the procedure. These precautions are especially important for senior pets and are required for patients six years of age and older.

WELLNESS EXAMS & PREVENTATIVE CARE
Routine wellness care is one of the best ways to keep your pet healthy and detect potential problems early. We recommend annual wellness exams for all pets, along with routine vaccinations, parasite prevention, heartworm testing, and fecal screening based on your pet’s individual needs.
During a wellness visit, our doctors perform a comprehensive head-to-tail physical examination and work with you to develop a preventative care plan tailored to your pet’s lifestyle and stage of life.

DIGITAL RADIOLOGY
Digital radiology (X-rays) allows our veterinarians to diagnose and monitor a variety of medical conditions quickly and accurately. Radiographs can help evaluate broken bones, arthritis, obstructions, heart and lung conditions, and many other internal concerns.
Our digital imaging system provides clear, detailed images that assist our doctors in making timely and informed treatment recommendations for your pet.

Recommendations From Our Vets
Heartworm:
- Heartworm testing is required annually to keep your pet on preventative. Our Veterinarians recommend that heartworm medications be given year round. They recommend this because heartworm treatment is painful and expensive, and it's much cheaper to prevent then it is to treat. Even in the fall and winter mosquitoes can be present as our winters can be mild. Heartworm medications come in many forms to make your life easier when it comes to giving the preventatives. Please call our office and speak to one of our team members if you have any questions or want more information.
- Our Veterinarians recommend annual exams because dogs and cats age much faster then humans. Different things can change within a year and it's nice for your pet to have a check up. Having a yearly exam also allows your pet to start flea/tick medications without being seen again.
- We recommend every patient have blood work at some point in their life before reaching the age of 6. This allows us to have good starting markers to compare to in the future. At 6 years of age a pet is considered geriatric and we highly recommend routine blood work for healthy patients yearly, and blood work for patients on any medications every 6 to 12 months depending on medications and Doctors recommendation.
- Any patient that is undergoing a surgical procedure is encouraged to have blood work prior to the procedure to make sure all internal organs are functioning properly and can handle the anesthesia. We also highly encourage IV fluids during the procedure to regulate blood pressure, keep the patient hydrated, and in case of an emergency we already have a vein to administer medications.
- Any patient 6 years or older is required to have blood work prior to surgery to make sure all internal organs are functioning properly and can handle the anesthesia. We also require IV fluids during the procedure to regulate blood pressure, keep the patient hydrated, and in case of an emergency we already have a vein to administer medications.
