Healthcare
for Your Dog
Whether your pet was adopted from the Humane Society
of Missouri or came from someplace else, he or she will
need a health examination and to be vaccinated. Below
are services we offer for your dog's health.
- Wellness exams and preventative medicine including vaccinations, heartworm
medicine and flea and tick products
- Microchipping - a permanent form of ID for your
dog. (Your dog should always wear a collar
with two phone numbers on the ID tag.)
- Treatment and advice for behavior problems including
house-training, car-sickness or fear of storms.
- Obedience training
- Dental cleanings and extractions, because owners
often overlook the care of their dog's teeth, leading
to discomfort, decay and infection.
- Diagnostic tests such as x-rays, ultrasounds and
endoscopies to see any problems that might be occurring
inside your pet, such as broken bones and tumors
- In-house laboratory tests such as urinalysis to
check for bladder infections, fecal analysis to check
for worms, and blood profiles to diagnose diabetes,
liver or kidney disease
- Surgeries to repair wounds or to remove tumors or
foreign bodies
- Orthopedic procedures for fractured bones, hip dysplasia
and knee problems
- Medical treatments for illnesses such as parvovirus,
heartworm disease, skin diseases, eye/ear diseases,
heart and kidney diseases and diabetes
