Standard

Exams

Exams

Animals age quicker than we do. A yearly exam for pets is the equivalent of a person going to the doctor every several years. Making sure your pets receive comprehensive physical exams on an annual basis is imperative. Our thorough exam process checks to ensure that your pet's body system is aging appropriately, because subtle changes often have major implications for your pet’s health.

Vaccines

Vaccines

Not all pets have the same vaccination needs. In fact, some pets are more “at risk” for certain diseases. Vaccination protocols are constantly changing, and need to reflect your pet’s particular risks and environment. The staff at Ehlers Animal Care will gladly spend time discussing with you the appropriate protocol for your pet.

Diagnostics

Diagnostics

Ehlers Animal Care has extensive diagnostic capabilities through its highly-trained staff, in-hospital laboratory, and diagnostic equipment and resources. Dr. Ehlers has established a network of board-certified specialists with whom she regularly consults in areas such as radiology, cardiology, orthopedics and internal medicine. In rare cases, Dr. Ehlers refers pet owners for consultations with specialists in the area.

Advanced

Cancer Consultation & Chemotherapy

Following any cancer diagnosis, our team will empathetically guide you through the decision-making process to help you explore the right way to proceed based upon your family’s and pet’s situations.

Dr. Ehlers received extensive education related to oncology and is one of the only local veterinarians who treats cancer patients. Due to the ability of animals to react positively to treatments such as chemotherapy, pets treated at Ehlers Animal Care are often able to respond without negative side effects and have an extended quality life.

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is a rapidly growing specialty in veterinary medicine. Owners see the benefits of rehabilitation in aging, arthritic, injured and post-operative pets. Over the past five years, Dr. Ehlers has been involved in advanced education and learning in this quickly changing field. Animals in her care have made drastic improvement in recovery and mobility.

Behavior Counseling

By paying attention to the changes in your pet’s behavior and observing your interactions, our team is able to assess the reasons for behavioral change. First ruling out medical issues and then examining environmental conditions can solve most behavioral problems.
