Immunization and Wellness Care
We believe that proactive, preventative care is the foundation of a long, healthy life for your pet. By working together, we can design a wellness program tailored specifically to your pet’s unique needs. Our comprehensive wellness plans include:
Annual exams allow us to partner with you to detect subtle health changes early on. Because pets age much faster than we do—with one human year equaling roughly three to seven pet years—we recommend bi-annual wellness exams for our senior patients to ensure they remain comfortable and healthy in their golden years.
- Physical examinations
- Appropriate vaccination schedules
- Internal and external parasites management and control
- Safe spay and neuter packages
- Life-stage specific blood screening

Nutritional Counseling & Prescription Diets
Proper nutrition is a vital component of your pet's overall well-being. Our qualified team is here to guide you in selecting the ideal diet for your pet’s specific life stage, lifestyle, and medical needs. Feeding a precisely balanced diet is a daily investment in their longevity and quality of life.
We have a wide selection of prescription diets formulated to support various health needs, including joint mobility, weight management, dental care, metabolic conditions, and recovery. We will work alongside you to ensure any dietary transitions are smooth and effective as your pet ages.

Comprehensive Dental Care
Just like in humans, proper dental care is crucial to your pet’s overall wellness. Untreated dental disease, plaque, and gingivitis can lead to serious heart, kidney, and liver complications. At Fernwood Veterinary Clinic, we provide thorough, safe dental cleanings using modern ultrasonic scalers to clean above and below the gumline, followed by professional polishing to deter future plaque buildup.
Because much of the tooth structure lies hidden beneath the gums, we utilize high-resolution Digital Dental Radiography. These detailed x-rays allow us to identify painful, unseen issues like abscesses, root fractures, and resorptive lesions that your pet may be hiding (as most animals will continue to eat despite dental pain). Following their procedure, we will collaborate with you on a customized at-home care plan, including diet recommendations, chews, and brushing techniques to maintain their healthy smile.

Surgical Services
We understand that bringing your pet in for surgery can be stressful, and we take their health and safety very seriously. Every patient undergoes careful pre-surgical screening, and we tailor our anesthetic protocols specifically to your pet's health profile.
Our fully equipped surgical suite features advanced monitoring equipment, strict sterilization protocols, and patient warming systems to keep your pet comfortable. From the procedure itself through their intensive post-operative care, our skilled veterinary team is by their side, prioritizing safety and efficiency at every step.

Digital Radiology (X-Rays)
Radiology is an essential diagnostic tool that helps us evaluate your pet's internal systems, from their muscular and skeletal structures to their cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems. We utilize advanced Digital Radiography (DR), which provides exceptionally clear, high-resolution images rapidly and with a significantly lower radiation dose than traditional film.
This technology allows us to easily share images with board-certified veterinary specialists for consultation when necessary. Most importantly, unlike in human medicine, our caring technicians remain in the room with your pet throughout the entire process, ensuring they never feel alone while x-rays are being taken.
