Boarding Hudson, OH

Boarding

Our kennel houses up to 20 dogs and 6 cats at one time. This relatively small number of boarders in comparison to other larger kennels ensures that we will have time to give each pet individual attention as needed. We offer the usual kennel amenities including heating and air conditioning, plenty of outdoor exercise time, and meal times tailored to your pet’s home routine. In addition, we offer limited bathing services by appointment. Since we are a full service hospital, we are able to prescribe and administer medications for your furry friend while you are away. We are adept at caring for older and convalescing pets who may not be welcomed at another facility due to health concerns or a complicated medicating regime. We strive to make your pet’s stay with us as comfortable as possible.

Dental Care Hudson, OH

Dental Care

A healthy mouth makes a healthy pet. If your pet is suffering from halitosis and excessive tartar buildup, or is experiencing discomfort due to a bad tooth, we can help. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the damaged tooth. We will also perform a complete dental cleaning on your pet. A thorough cleaning includes scaling and polishing the tooth surfaces and applying a fluoride treatment to protect the remaining teeth. We will also administer an antibiotic injection to ward off potential infection from bacteria in the mouth.

request an appointment

Geriatric Care Hudson, OH

Geriatric Care

Preventative medicine is important when our pets are young, but as our pets age, and become prone to certain disease processes, annual exams and blood work becomes even more critical.

Annual exams and blood work to check liver and kidney values, along with thyroid function have the potential to alert us to early changes that may give us valuable information about your pet’s health. We understand the changes your pet will have as they become older, and we also know the importance of keeping your pet healthy as they enter their golden years.

Please call us today at (330) 650-2929 to learn more about caring for your senior pet.

Health Certificates Hudson, OH

Health Certificates

If you want to travel internationally with your pet, you need to plan ahead. Since each country is different, you will have to contact the embassy or consulate where you are going to find out what you need to do.

Though every country has different requirements, most require a health certificate that is done by a USDA-accredited veterinarian. Luckily, we have a USDA-accredited veterinarian. If you are not a client, you need to make sure you bring your pets’ records in with you to the examination.

At the time of your pets’ examination, we will go over the forms that you need. There are times when we will have to run some tests to ensure that your pet is healthy enough for travel. We may also have to treat your pet prior to traveling.

You will always need a health certificate and proof of vaccination. You may also need a microchip and blood tests. Many countries require that your pet get treated for parasites prior to travel. You may also need certificates for the airplane ride.

Since each country is different and we can’t stay up to date will all of the changes in each one, it is important that you call ahead and know what you need. Then, we will make sure that your pet is all ready to go!

Parasite Prevention Hudson, OH

Parasite Prevention

The idea of your pet being infested with parasites is a disturbing thought, but it’s also a medical issue that can have serious consequences if not properly dealt with or prevented. Parasites pose a variety of health issues for our pets, who can be very susceptible to certain parasites depending on age, region, and other factors.

At Hudson Veterinary Hospital, we emphasize the importance of preventing parasites. Through preventative measures, you can successfully protect your pet. Pets that are not protected often develop parasites, leading to serious problems for them and their owners.

Pets that are in pain are miserable. For this reason, we will do whatever we can to keep your pets comfortable.

We also prescribe steroids which can offer a lot of relief. We also have stronger pain medications if the non-steroidal medications are not enough. We also offer glucosamine in tablets and injections to help with arthritis.

Preventative Care

We believe the best way to promote overall health is through preventative care. Regular checkups allow us to establish a baseline in your pets’ health and make us aware of any changes that may indicate future problems.

We highly recommend bringing your pet in for regular exams. Often health problems that go undetected can become more severe issues when left untreated, so checkups are important even when your pet appears healthy.

Disease prevention is critical to your pet’s health at every stage of life, but especially in your pet’s puppy and kitten days. We carry a full line of canine and feline vaccines for protection against rabies, canine distemper, parvovirus, bordetella, Lyme disease, feline distemper, leukemia, and FIP. Other vaccines are available on special order if necessary. Since many pets do not require the full battery of vaccines, we will work with you to develop an appropriate vaccine protocol for your pet based on your needs.

Anesthetic Monitoring and Pain Management

Providing for your pet’s safety and comfort is our number one surgical priority. Our furry patients will receive a very safe inhaled anesthesia administered through an endo-tracheal tube. Our experienced surgical technicians carefully monitor heart rate and respirations throughout the procedure. A complete blood workup is recommended for older patients before undergoing anesthesia. This will help to rule out any potential problems in advance.

All of our surgical patients will receive pain medication as appropriate to their situation. We want them to be as comfortable as possible while they are recovering from surgery.

Fluid Therapy

Sometimes a patient may require regular subcutaneous fluid administration to stay hydrated while convalescing or as a more permanent therapy to help deal with kidney issues. We can administer fluids to your pet at our clinic or provide you with the supplies you need to give fluids to your pet in the privacy of your own home.

Referral Services

Occasionally we may encounter a medical situation that requires more specialized treatment or diagnostics than we are currently able to provide. In this case we refer our patients to board certified specialists in the area. We will work closely as a team with these specialists to diagnose and develop a treatment plan for your pet. We will continue to collaborate with them throughout your pet’s treatment and recovery period.
