Harborside Animal Hospital offers in-home wellness exams and euthanasia.

Wellness Exams

A physical exam by a veterinarian catches things that even the most astute pet parent may not, such as an ear infection, a heart murmur, growths, and much more.

In-Home Euthanasia

Pet dental care is important because oral infections hurt!!! Pets often will continue to eat for years with mild to moderate chronic oral pain and just learn to adjust to this pain over time, leading many owners to think that “it doesn’t seem to bother the pet”.

Research clearly shows that proper dental care is one of the most important things that you can do to add years and quality to to your pet’s life.

Properly caring for your pet’s teeth beginning at an early age will save you a great deal of expense in caring for your pet in later years. Daily brushing of your pet’s teeth is ideal when you pet will allow it. Many pets need to begin having professional dental cleanings by the age of 2 or 3 year years old. Most pets have some evidence of periodontal disease by the age of 3 years.

We have years of experience performing many types of surgeries. Some of the most common types of surgeries we can perform at our hospital include but are not limited to:

• Spay and Neuters
• Eye Surgeries (such as cherry eye, eyelid mass removal, etc.)
• Cystotomy (Bladder stone removal)
• Tumor Removal
• Many types of oral surgeries (teeth extraction, oral mass removal, etc.)
• Wound Care
• Gastrointestinal Surgeries
• Caesarean Section
• Ear Hematoma Repair
• Biopsies
• And Much More!

We can also perform many types of orthopedic surgeries at our hospital including some cruciate repairs, fractures, and patellar luxation (dislocated kneecap) surgeries. If you think your pet needs a specialized type of surgery, please call us to discuss whether we can perform this at our hospital.

We offer digital radiology at our hospital, which allows us to get quicker and more detailed results for your pet so we can begin treating them without delay. You can now view your pet's digital radiographs right here!

We offer abdominal ultrasound and other associated diagnostic testing (cytology and/or biopsy if needed). Our hospital provides sonographer assisted ultrasounds and board-certified veterinary radiologist interpretation. The radiologist’s review of the ultrasound is usually available within 24-48 hours (or if more urgent, within a few hours). This allows our hospital to be able to provide a board-certified veterinary radiologist interpretation without your pet having to be referred to a more expensive specialty hospital for this service.

Ultrasounds are commonly used in pets for a variety of conditions, including follow-up to abnormal bloodwork, vomiting or diarrhea, unusual weight loss or recurring infections, urinary problems, and cancer screening just to name a few. Ultrasound can compliment radiographs in many cases (ultrasound does not replace the need for radiographs nor vice versa).
