Our Services
Four Paws Animal Hospital is a full service veterinary hospital, servicing mainly small companion animals such as dogs and cats, and occasionally rabbits, birds, and other exotic pets. Four Paws offers a variety of services; vaccinations with programs catered to meet each pets needs, including a Senior Wellness Program for older pets to aid in early detection of any problems associated with age, and an in-house laboratory offering quick results for most tests to reduce wait time. We also offer radiology services with a new x-ray machine, and of course surgical services to meet your needs. Dr. Whitlow has upgraded his surgical suite to offer laser surgery for elective surgical procedures such as spays and neuters, as well as more complicated orthopedic procedures such as placing orthopedic pins, and repairing ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tears to name a few. Lasers offer many benefits in surgery, such as increased healing time, less bleeding, less chance of infection and less pain to the incision site, and also shorter hospital stays for your pet. We also offer dental services, like cleaning, polishing and, when necessary, extractions. Just like their owners, pets seem to feel so much better after they have had their teeth cleaned - is it any wonder since they never brush their teeth?
We are also very excited that Dr. Whitlow is now offering veterinary orthopedic manipulation (VOM) for pets with back problems and animals that have difficulty walking. This is a non-surgical approach to back pain and inflammation. We have already had lots of success with VOM. We are additionally excited that Dr. Whitlow is now offering low level laser therapy which can be used separately or in conjunction with VOM to treat spinal and orthopedic problems. Laser therapy reduces inflammation and pain, it helps speed wound healing and shortens recovery time. We have had some remarkable results with laser therapy and are continuing to find that it treats a variety of conditions. It has demonstrated positive results on spinal injuries, knee injuries and reducing post surgical wound healing time.
