Preventive Care

Dental Care
Routine dental care is a critical component of cats' and dogs' oral and overall health, but most pets don't get the oral hygiene care they need to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
Vaccination
Our San Diego veterinarians can help you protect your cat or dog from contracting any serious diseases and disorders with routine vaccinations and preventive parasite treatment.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Nutritional Counseling
Signs of diabetes in dogs and cats include excessive thirst, increased appetite accompanied by weight loss, cloudy eyes, and chronic or recurring infections.
Comprehensive Examination
College Animal Hospital focus on preventive care for your dog or cat. These routine cat & dog wellness exams help your pet's vet team ensure they are in good health.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
The ultimate goal of a fecal exam is to identify and treat any GI infections that could be compromising your pet's health and even the health of your family. Fecals allow your vet to determine if your pet has intestinal parasites such as roundworms or hookworms.
Pain Management
Post-operative monitoring and pain management are our priorities following surgery. Your vet will also provide thorough instructions for at-home care.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
During your pet's checkup, we will examine your dog or cat's skin and coat for signs of problems, including overly oily or dry skin, lumps, bumps, dandruff, or abnormal hair loss or shedding.
Injury Treatment
Intestinal Foreign Object Removal

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
Neutering a male cat can help to curb many undesirable cat behaviors such as spraying urine indoors and around the house to mark territory, roaming, howling, and fighting with other intact (non-neutered) male cats. Reducing your cat's temptation to fight may also reduce their risk of injury, and of contracting Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and Feline leukemia virus (FeLV).
Ear Infection Treatment
Today, our San Diego vets describe different types of ear infections in dogs including their causes, signs, and treatment.
Urinary Tract Infection Treatment
Our San Diego vets often see geriatric cats and dogs with urinary tract conditions and incontinence issues. Elderly pets can be prone to accidents as the natural consequence of weakening bladder muscles, but it's important to note that incontinence could be a sign of a bigger health issue such as a urinary tract infection or dementia.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Although osteoarthritis is typically a condition associated with older dogs, this painful condition can also affect your senior cat's joints.
Hip Dysplasia Treatment
Several conditions have been shown to improve with the use of laser therapy including muscle and joint pain, arthritis symptoms, and muscle spasms.
Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Liver disease is common in senior cats and may be the result of high blood pressure or hyperthyroidism. Symptoms of liver disease in cats include loss of appetite, jaundice, drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, and increased thirst.
Knee Problems Treatment
If your pet's patella (knee cap) moves out of its natural position, they are suffering from a luxating patella. This is a common problem in many dog breeds, both large and small.
Heart Disease Treatment
The veterinarians at our animal hospital provide quality care to all of our patients. Our cutting-edge in-house lab allows us to conduct testing like radiography, ultrasound, and urinalysis rapidly and accurately. We also offer the services of a Board Certified Cardiologist who travels to our location to perform EKGs.
Kidney Disease Treatment
As pets age, their kidneys tend to lose their function. In some cases, kidney disease can be caused by medications used to treat other common conditions seen in geriatric pets.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
The final step is to apply a dental sealant to prevent plaque from attaching to the enamel. If your veterinarian finds advanced periodontal disease, they will develop a treatment plan and discuss it with you.
Cancer Treatment

Wound and Fracture Care
Today, our San Diego vets discuss dog wound care and what you can do if your pup suffers an injury.

Dental Surgery
We understand that learning your pet needs dental surgery can be overwhelming, and we strive to make this process as stress-free as possible for you and your pet. We'll break down each step of the process to you in detail before the procedure, including preparation and post-operative care requirements.
Ophthalmic Surgery
Common ocular procedures for cats and dogs include eyelid tumor removal, ectropion surgery, entropion surgery, exenteration of the orbit and cherry eye surgery.
Veterinary Surgery
The majority of surgical procedures that are not orthopedic in nature fall under the umbrella of soft tissue surgery.
Spaying and Neutering
Spay and neuter surgeries are common procedures performed at our San Diego animal clinic that help to prevent unwanted litters and offer a number of health benefits to cats and dogs.

Laboratory Services
We perform tests and get results quickly in our in-house laboratory so that we can diagnose your pet's symptoms and begin treatment as soon as possible.
X-Ray
If your veterinarian performs a physical examination and suspects your pet may have a heart disorder, we usually take chest X-Rays and an electrocardiogram (EKG).
Dental Radiology
College Animal Hospital, we provide complete dental care for your pet, from basics like dental exams, teeth cleanings, and polishing, to dental x-rays and surgeries.
Microchipping
Microchipping - A microchip is a permanent form of identification that is about the size of a grain of rice and placed under your pet’s skin. Pets that are microchipped have a better chance of being reunited with their owners if they are lost.

General Pet Care

Grooming
