Preventive Care

• Dental Care

  Oral Exam: to detect tartar build-up, bad breath, masses, and other abnormal symptoms that may be signs of gum disease. If necessary, we can schedule an appointment for a comprehensive dental cleaning or diagnostic imaging exam.

• Vaccination

  When you bring your pet in for vaccinations at our animal hospital in Colma, you’ll be protecting them from many dangerous diseases. We take dog and cat vaccinations in Colma, CA, seriously at Colma Animal Hospital. They give your pet needed immunity from viruses and bacteria which can result in serious illness or chronic conditions. We’ll discuss your pet’s lifestyle with you and make sure they receive protection from any viruses or bacteria they may be exposed to.

• Veterinary Ophthalmology

  Eyes, Nose, and Ears Evaluation: to check for irregularities, such as cataract, glaucoma, dry eye, growths, ear mites, odors, and discharge, as these may be signs of an infection.

• Nutritional Counseling

• Comprehensive Examination

  Guiding your pet down the road to wellness is part of our mission here at Colma Animal Hospital. Just like people, it’s important for your pet to see a doctor at least once a year to be sure they’re healthy. Depending on your pet’s age and lifestyle, our doctors may recommend bi-annual dog and cat wellness exam care in Colma, CA to accommodate your pet’s specific needs. Each wellness exam includes a nose-to-tail evaluation, which is detailed below.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control

  To protect your pet, Colma Animal Hospital recommends keeping your pet on a monthly preventative all year round, such as HEARTGARD Plus, which kills heartworm larvae. Trifexis is another option. This 3-in-1 tablet prevents heartworm disease and kills fleas and treats hookworm, roundworm, and whipworm.

• Behavioral Disorder Treatment

• Pain Management

  We monitor every patient’s vital signs throughout the entire surgical procedure, using advanced ECG and oximetry equipment. For advanced surgeries, we also monitor blood pressure. After the surgery is complete, we provide post-surgical pain relief options, such as laser therapy, and discharge instructions to keep your pet comfortable and promote a speedy recovery.

• Vomiting Treatment

• Diarrhea Treatment

• Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment

  Skin and Coat Evaluation: to check for dandruff, dry skin, rashes, infection and other issues such as atopy that may require treatment.

Infection Treatment

• Leptospirosis Treatment

  We may decide to add vaccination from Leptospirosis to your dog’s vaccinations, if your dog is frequently around water or travels into moist climates. Leptospirosis, along with rabies, can be passed onto humans and other mammals. If your cat goes outside, or if you have a big heart and like to take care of stray cats, we may decide to add protection from chlamydia and feline leukemia. Please talk to us about essential pet vaccinations today!

• Parvovirus Infection Treatment

• Feline Retro Virus Treatment

  Depending on your cat's lifestyle, we also recommend the FeLV (feline leukemia virus) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) vaccine.

• Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Hip Dysplasia Treatment

• Diabetes Treatment

• Thyroid Disease Treatment

• Knee Problems Treatment

• Heart Disease Treatment

  This is a question that many pet owners ask themselves because many don’t understand how the health of the mouth is an indicator of the health of the entire body. Gum disease can lead to kidney, liver, and heart disease, if left untreated. It can also make your pet very uncomfortable and leave them in pain. That’s why it’s important to maintain your pet’s oral health from home and arrange for professional cat or dog teeth cleaning as needed. This can help improve your pet’s oral and overall health, lengthening their lifespan.

• Periodontal Disease Treatment

  By age 3, more than 60% of all dogs and cats have some form of gum disease. Colma Animal Hospital wants to prevent your pet from becoming part of this statistic, which is why we offer dentistry services. We also advise you to bring your pet in at least once a year for a comprehensive wellness exam that includes a check of the mouth. If we detect tartar build up, swollen gums, or other problems, we may recommend a diagnostic exam and thorough cat or dog teeth cleaning, as these may be signs of periodontal disease.

• Cancer Treatment

Emergency Care

• Wound and Fracture Care

  FeLV and FIV are potentially-fatal viruses that slowly weaken a cat's immune system. It is transmitted from cat to cat through bite wounds. Because these viruses take their tolls slowly, symptoms may not appear for several years. Some of the common symptoms include...

Surgery

• Dental Surgery

  Extractions: If we determine that one or more of your pet’s teeth need to be removed, we use a special tool for surgical extractions.

Should your pet need soft-tissue surgery to remove a cancerous tumor or orthopedic surgery to repair ligaments or bones, we’re prepared to treat your pet well.

• Spaying and Neutering

  When you have your female pet spayed or your male pet neutered will depend on the type, breed, and size of pet you have. Many pets receive benefits from being spayed or neutered before they’re sexually mature. Plus, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you’re not contributing to animal overpopulation. Both cats and dogs can have several litters throughout a lifetime. Still, larger breeds of dogs may benefit more by waiting to be spayed or neutered. At Colma Animal Hospital, we counsel owners in Colma and surrounding areas on cat and dog spay and neuter surgery in Colma, CA. When your pet has spay or neuter surgery with us, they’ll receive medical and behavioral benefits and we’ll send you home with detailed after-care instructions.
