What We Do
At Sunridge Veterinary Clinic, we believe that premium pet care requires compassion, understanding, and personalized attention. We strive to deliver exceptional care and services to our clients, including:
Wellness & Preventative Care
To raise a happy and healthy pet, we evaluate various components of your pet's health, including age, breed, and current health conditions. Proper nutrition, parasite prevention, dental care, and vaccinations all play a crucial role in giving your pet the healthiest life possible.
Surgery & Dentistry
We offer a wide range of surgeries, including spaying and neutering, orthopedic surgery, lump and tumor removal, and hernia repair. Our dental services include dental scale and polish, dental x-ray, tooth extractions, and oral surgery.
Radiology & Diagnostics
Our clinic is fully equipped to perform various diagnostics, including in-house blood panels, urinalysis, skin scraping, thyroid testing, and glucose monitoring. We also have a radiology department where we offer full-body x-rays as well as intra-oral dental x-rays.
Nutritional Consultations
Have you discussed feeding strategies with a pet nutritionist? An optimized diet for your pet results in an adequate nutritional intake for your pet. This adds to its healthy life and prevents sickness. We work accordingly and diligently to meet the needs of you and your pet, taking into account their age, breed, weight, and any pre-existing medical conditions.
Veterinary Approach to Pet Food Nutrition
Concerns are being raised about the nutritional choice, the amount of food, and which kinds of food are best for your pet. Following the directions on the package is not sufficient to maintain a proper diet; all pet foods are not equally beneficial. We understand food quality and food quantity because this will help keep your pet strong and healthy.
Let's consider cats and dogs; cats require meat majorly in their diet, being obligate carnivores, while dogs, being facultative carnivores, require a varied diet containing meats, grains, vegetables, and grasses.
