Why treat when you can prevent?
Our pharmacy supplies prescription pet foods by reputable companion animal nutrition companies like Hill’s, Purina, and Royal Canin. Just as you “are what you eat,” so is your pet! Dr. Arambulo may recommend prescription pet foods and other preventive products to manage or avoid:
- Complications from obesity or diabetes. Some high-fiber diets slow absorption, stabilizing blood sugar levels. Lower-calorie diets promote weight loss. The American Veterinary Medical Association reports obesity affects around 25 percent of all companion dogs and is associated with a host of conditions that reduce quality of life and shorten lifespans, including diabetes and arthritis.
- Allergens. Our pets can be hypersensitive to common ingredients in food like beef, wheat, and dairy. Changing brands and proteins may not suffice. Introducing prescribed diets can finally break the food intolerance or allergy cycle, relieving diarrhea, itching, and other problems.
- Kidney, joint, cardiac, and other medical conditions; for instance, diets for dogs and cats with chronic kidney disease contain less protein and phosphorus than their commercial counterparts to slow degenerative processes. Joint health-promoting diets contain more glucosamine and chondroitin than off-the-shelf foods. Cardiac patients may benefit from restricted-sodium foods, supplements, and other products and therapies recommended by on-call, Board-certified cardiologist, Dr. Fred Brewer.
Dr. Arambulo’s special interests include dentistry. Just as problems like gum disease affect your overall health, oral conditions can damage your pet’s quality of life and cause serious organ damage. Bacteria doesn’t always stay confined to the mouth. Sometimes, it enters a pet’s bloodstream, where it can wreak havoc on the heart, liver, and kidneys. Dr. Arambulo combines regular dental care with your pet’s ongoing wellness program and may suggest products and cleaning techniques for home use.
Superior diagnostics; the latest treatments
On-call Board-certified radiologist, Dr. Ann Reed, offers advanced diagnostic tools such as veterinary ultrasound. Bloomfield Animal Hospital proudly uses digital X-rays, which render clearer images and emit less radiation than conventional technologies for safe, precision diagnoses.Laser therapy is also available as a non-invasive, gentle, and drug-free alternative to treat conditions ranging from skin infections to sprains.
Bloomfield Animal Hospital also distinguishes with:
- Emergency care - Fifi got into a bowl of M&M’S. Fido ate your socks. Emergencies demand immediate care, but often arise outside of conventional “business hours.” These situations always have priority, and we partner with several area providers for added peace of mind.
- Affordable care for all - We offer financing and payment plans through CareCredit and Scratchpay. These options reduce the financial burden by stretching payments over many months. Our Wellness Rewards program also gives you cash back on services and products, and you can enjoy exclusive member perks.
