We also offer chemotherapy for cancer treatment. Dr. Portillo works primarily on referral but will take emergencies when needed.

PAIN MANAGEMENT

Veterinary patients feel pain and discomfort under the same circumstances as people do. We know that recognizing and alleviating pain in animals is the essence of good patient care and we have a variety of safe, effective pain control available for your pets.

DENTAL CARE

Pets can develop dental disease and other dental problems. Many of these problems can be avoided by bringing your pet in for regular dental checkups and giving your pet dental care at home. Regular professional cleanings are important in maintaining your pet's dental health. We use modern and safe ultrasound to clean each tooth thoroughly. We also include digital dental radiographs so we can see what’s going on above the gum line. We also chart every patient’s mouth just like when you go to the dentist. Dental technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup. Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity.
