Studies on Laser Therapy have shown that it is equal or more effective then other forms of physical therapy.

General Medicine and Services
Examinations - At El Centro Pet Medical & Laser Surgery Center, 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.
Vaccines - Immunizations are a crucial part of your pet's health care. Immunizations are recommended on a yearly basis. Usually administered during an annual exam, we work with you to develop an individual vaccine protocol that best suits your pet's needs.
Laser Surgery-We are proud to offer laser surgery as a progressive option for our clients who want the safest and least painful treatment for their pets. For more information, visit: http://vet.celasers.com/surgical-small
Microchip Identification - This unique form of identification is an easy, yet permanent way to bring your pet home quickly should he / she become lost. The microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size and shape of a grain of rice. It is implanted beneath your pet's skin between the shoulder blades, and stays there for his / her entire life. This procedure is as easy and as painless as a vaccination.
Each microchip has a unique number. This number, along with information about the owner and pet, are added to a national pet registry. Most veterinary hospitals and animal shelters have electronic scanners for detecting and reading these implanted microchips. If a lost pet is found and a microchip is scanned it is easy for you to be contacted. Here at El Centro Pet Medical Center, we use the HomeAgain microchip and utilize thier recovery services.
Nutritional Counseling - Proper diet is an important part of your pet's health. We carry Hills Science Diet maintenance diets for all stages of your pets life. We also offer Hills Science Diet Prescription and Purina Prescription diets. Should your pet need a new diet due to health concerns or you are just looking for a healthy alternative to your current brand, we offer recomended diet plans and nutritional counseling to help keep your pet healthy.
Behavior Counseling - Pets often show illness or anxiety through improper or changed behavior. Let our staff help you determine what is appropriate behavior and what you can do to change inappropriate behavior.
Dermatology - Hair loss and constant scratching can indicate fleas, food allergies or other more serious skin conditions. We provide specialized dermatological services to all of our patients including allergy testing and desensitization treatments.
Dentistry - 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 blood stream and damaging the kidneys, heart and liver.
Baths and Nail Trims - Hygiene is important. We gladly offer baths and nail trims to our patients. We do not provide complete grooming services.
Adoption Services - We regularly work with local area shelters and rescue organizations.
