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
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
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.
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.
A seasoned surgeon, Dr. Ehlers regularly performs procedures for orthopedic, soft tissue, and heart conditions. Other veterinarians in the area regularly refer difficult surgeries to her due to her success managing complex cases.
Orthopedic Surgery
Over the past twelve years, Dr. Ehlers has specialized in orthopedic procedures, including repairs of luxating patellas, cranial cruciate ligament ruptures, fractures and amputations. When necessary, she consults with or utilizes a board-certified orthopedic surgeon for the most difficult procedures.
Advanced Soft Tissue Surgery
Dr. Ehlers regularly performs a variety of soft tissue surgeries for her patients and also on a referral basis. Our team has experience with gastrointestinal and urogenital procedures, as well as resections and tumor excisions.
ECG
Ehlers Animal Care works with the Veterinary Heart Institute to assess electrocardiograms and radiographs performed on-site. Through these consultations, we are able to determine suitability for pets to undergo anesthesia, as well as proper means of treatments for heart conditions.
Styling
Our professional grooming expert is dedicated to providing the style you desire for your pet. Our approach incorporates factors of each pet’s at-home maintenance, lifestyle activities, breed and hair type.
Personal Approach
We aim to develop a personal relationship with each pet and pet owner, creating an atmosphere that is relaxed and comfortable. Our groomer spends time understanding your preferences and welcomes suggestions you may have for your pet. In the end, your pet will have an experienced and professional treatment that you can trust.
The Experience
We strive to keep the grooming experience fun and stress-free. Ensuring the welfare of each pet is always our top priority. Whether you pet is big or small, we have the know-how to help.
