Hospital Mission Statement:
Heartland Animal Hospital strives to provide a high standard of healthcare to our patients while providing compassion, kindness and individual attention to each. We aim to always behave in a professional manner towards our clients and be empathetic and understanding to their individual circumstance.
We believe in treating every patient as if they were our own pet, and giving them the same loving attention and care. We are a group of highly trained, experienced animal lovers who are devoted to giving our patients the best care possible.
Research has found that 80% of all pets suffer some level of oral disease and discomfort. As a result, we believe oral health and hygiene are critical to pet health. Our digital dental radiology helps us diagnose sources of oral infection, defect and pain so we can treat and cure these conditions through medication and/ or surgery. Owners receive copies of their pets’ before-and-after dental cleaning images to see the difference themselves, and are sent home with recommendations for future oral health and dental disease prevention.
Because parasite prevention is important year round, we develop heartworm, flea and tick and intestinal parasite prevention programs specific to your pet and your individual lifestyle.
Many prescription medications and heartworm/flea preventatives are available for in-clinic pick up w/ mailing options available. We recommend year-round protection!
The laser therapy machine emits a near-infrared light that penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the mitochondria in cells. The mitochondria then use this light to produce ATP. ATP is energy that the cells use to repair themselves and to reproduce. This is similar to how photosynthesis, the process by which sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll in plant cells to create energy, works. The energy provided to the cells releases endorphins in the area about 20 minutes after the session is finished. This acts as a more of an immediate pain relief as the stimulated lymphatic system works to reduce inflammation in the affected area.
