Examinations
At Oz Animal Hospital, we offer comprehensive examinations that help evaluate the overall health of your pet. Regular physical examinations can detect problems in their early stages, before they become serious illnesses requiring prolonged treatment. Preventative medicine is the easiest, least expensive and most important way to keep your pet healthy. Early detection ensures prompt action that may solve the problem before serious consequences occur.
Laboratory
At Oz Animal Hospital, we have a full in-house laboratory in case of any urgent medical and are able to get immediate results for the best care. In our laboratory, we have the capability for many in house tests such as complete blood count, blood chemistry, urinalysis, fecal examination and many more. We also work closely with other laboratories for any out of office lab work. We utilize these tests to assess your pet’s overall well-being. This helps us detect the trouble brewing in the internal organs by providing important clues to disease.
We recommend annual lab work for our patients because research tells us up to 1 in 4 pets may have abnormalities and the earlier we catch a problem the higher the success in treating and managing. We offer annual panel options at affordable pricing to accomplish this.
If your pet has a growth or infection, we are able to complete immediate in-house testing to assure they get the most appropriate treatment.
Pharmacy
We provide a full-service veterinary pharmacy for your pet’s prescription needs. Whether your pet is in need of a prescription medication or diet, you won’t have to go far. Our in-house pharmacy allows you to fill your pet’s prescriptions during your appointment so you don’t have to spend time waiting.

Dentistry
Our staff is trained in the latest surgery and dentistry techniques and our Operating Room is state of the art and fully equipped. We take General Anesthesia extremely seriously- our standards of monitoring and recovery care are at the highest. From full comprehensive monitoring to following the latest anesthesia drug choices we are confident in the safety of your pet under our intensive care.
Dental procedures are critical to maintain overall systemic health and to be free from chronic pain. Each dental procedure includes full mouth x-rays to evaluate the roots of all teeth where disease often hides. We use ultrasonic cleaning to remove all accumulated tartar and are able to perform tooth root surgeries only if needed. We take the time after the procedure to explain the exact oral disease your pet had and the steps you can take in the future to prevent progression.
Clean teeth and healthy gums are essential to your pet’s health. Infections are more common in the mouth because they can go undetected for long periods of time. Our veterinary staff regularly performs oral exams, cleanings, and periodontal care as part of our comprehensive health care goals.
Some Signs of Dental Problems include:
- Bad breath – one of the first signs of dental disease
- A yellowish-brown crust of plaque on the teeth near the gum line
- Red and swollen gums
- Pain or bleeding when your pet eats or when the mouth or gums are touched
- Decreased appetite or difficulty eating
- Loose or missing teeth
Dental problems, if left untreated, can often lead to larger systemic problems in your pet due to oral bacteria entering the bloodstream and damaging the kidneys, heart, and liver.
