Our hospital’s surgical suites are fully equipped with sophisticated procedural and monitoring technology to help ensure the utmost safety of your pet. Whether a quick spay surgery or a simple mass removal, it can be nerve-wracking sending your beloved pet off for an operation. Our teams is here to answer all questions you may have; we offer the highest standards of care along with education and support to minimize stress for both you and your pet. With personalized pre-and post-op care, comprehensive follow-up checks, and skilled veterinary teams, you can rest assured that your pet is in the safest of hands.

It's hard to provide care without knowing the root of what is ailing your pet, which is why diagnostic testing is so important. Diagnostic testing can include laboratory testing (blood, urine, and fecal) and diagnostic imaging like X–rays, CT, MRI, and ultrasound. 

From routine cleanings to tooth extractions, the Thrive Pet Healthcare network of Primary Care veterinarians and Dental Specialists is here to keep your pet's smile fresh! Our general practices can take care of everyday dental maintenance with outstanding regular check-ins, cleanings, and basic surgeries.

Meanwhile, our specialty veterinarians are prepared to handle more complex or chronic dental cases like a root abscess, jaw fracture, abnormal tooth formation, or advanced periodontal disease. These doctors are highly trained within the field of veterinary dentistry and have access to specialized equipment, typically unavailable at primary care clinics. 

At Village Veterinary Medical Center, we have the experience and knowledge necessary to successfully diagnose and manage skin disease. Untreated skin conditions in pets can cause long-term suffering and lead to other serious health problems. In addition, our veterinarians work with veterinary dermatologists to determine the most effective treatment options for suffering pets.

Our veterinarians have received recognition for excellence in academia, leadership, and quality of care. Some of our doctors have even earned specialty certification by the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners in canine and feline medicine. These skills, combined with the latest technology, enable us to offer excellence in many common diseases of internal body systems.

In addition, our veterinarians work with board certified veterinary internal medicine specialists to determine the most effective treatment options for pets.

Cancer in your pet is a complex and frightening diagnosis. However, cancer is, in general, a very treatable disease. Research tells us it is one of the most treatable of all the chronic diseases in pets.

The professionals at Village Veterinary Medical Center are experienced in the diagnoses and treatment of cancer in pets, and can help facilitate treatment with board certified veterinary oncologists to determine the most effective treatment options.

The team at Village Veterinary Medical Center is proactive in identifying and treating pet pain, from acute to chronic conditions. Our approach to pain management is deeply instilled in our general philosophy for proactive and compassionate care.

As your pet’s advocate, our job is to ensure no unnecessary discomfort or suffering. We will be certain to communicate to you if we feel your pet has a painful condition that needs to be addressed. We know your pet’s pain can be as stressful to you as it may be to them.

As an AAHA hospital, we include pain assessment in the health record of all patients. We offer the most up-to-date pain reduction modalities and will work with alternative treatment specialists to provide the newest and best care for our patients.

A Focus on Pet Pain Relief

Pain management has become an important issue in veterinary medicine, significant in improving the recovery process from illness, surgery, or injury. Research in people and pets has shown the positive effects of reducing pain on the overall healing process. Uncontrolled pain can lead to decreased quality of life and slower surgical recovery. Due to reduced stress and increased comfort, appropriate pain management may help your companion live a longer, happier, healthier life.

As a member of the International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management, our professional team participates in promoting, enhancing, and advancing pain management in animals.

Treatment Therapies for Pet Pain

Stem cell therapy is a regenerative treatment for pets, especially those suffering from degenerative joint disease or arthritis. Stem cell technology enables veterinarians to extract adult adipose derived stem cells from a pet’s own body fat, virtually eliminating the risk of rejection or negative reaction.

Once implanted, stem cells have the ability to stimulate regeneration, reduce pain and inflammation, and assist in the repair of damaged tissue. This therapy is used to relieve pain and increase range of motion in pets suffering with joint pain, arthritis, tendon and ligament damage, hip dysplasia, and cartilage damage.

Your dog or cat deserve comfort and quality care when you are away. You deserve peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for by a highly compassionate team of caregivers focused on your pet’s wellness, comfort, and safety. Our boarding services have been designed to provide the quality care and attention your pet deserves.

In a spa-like environment with a hint of eucalyptus and mint, our boarding kennels, dog suites, and cat condos are comfortable, peaceful, and bright to help our guests feel more at home. As an AAHA-accredited hospital, our mission to provide excellence in health care extends throughout our boarding services.

Sight lines between pets are minimized to reduce stress and barking. Boarding suites are infused with Dog Appeasing Pheromone and Feliway feline pheromones to promote a peaceful, relaxed experience for your pet.

If any abnormalities, such as ear infections, skin infections, parasites, or skin masses, are found, we will call for your permission to have a veterinarian assess your pet’s health and comfort.

For patients with medical conditions, special behavioral needs, or puppies or kittens that have not completed their protective vaccine series, we offer Special Needs Services. Call for more information.

Many of our doctors have a special interest in canine reproduction. They have advanced training and extensive experience in assisting breeders with reproductive issues. Their enthusiasm for this aspect of veterinary care is a benefit to patients and pet owners.

In addition to our experience, Village Veterinary Medical Center is an International Canine Semen Banks (ICSB) franchise. As such, we utilize the technologies developed by ICSB in Oregon.

When PennHIP evaluations are incorporated into a breeding management program, you can significantly reduce offspring joint laxity and the resulting risk for hip dysplasia in predisposed breeds such as German shepherds and golden retrievers. PennHIP is the gold standard for predicting a dog’s chance of developing osteoarthritis of the hip joints.

Regular wellness exams allow us to catch underlying health problems early, provide consistent preventative care, and support your pet’s overall health and well-being. 

Our veterinarians are skilled in diagnosing common problems that affect our pets like vomiting, itching, lumps, limping, and more. 

As pet parents, we dread the thought of our fur-children ever getting sick enough to require emergency care. Unfortunately, accidents and illnesses do occur, so our exceptional emergency care teams are here to help in your time of need.   

Vaccines are essential for preventive care and can increase the chances of a longer, happier life for pets. Ensuring that pets are consistently up to date with their vaccinations can help prevent contracting disease or help lessen the severity of symptoms if a disease is contracted.

Another key component of helping to maintain your pet’s health and happiness is having them on reliable, consistent heartworm preventative.  

Heartworm disease is serious and potentially fatal to our dogs and cats. Heartworms are spread by mosquito bites and can grow up to a foot long, living in the heart and lungs of our beloved pets.  

Fleas can cause itchy skin, skin infections, and spread tapeworms. Ticks can carry disease such as Lyme Disease, Ehrlichiosis, and more. 

We will be by your side during this time of need to offer both medical assistance and emotional support.
