Horseshoe Lake Animal Hospital

Regular wellness exams allow us to catch underlying health problems early, provide consistent preventative care, and support your pet’s overall health and well-being. 

Our veterinarians are skilled in diagnosing common problems that affect our pets like vomiting, itching, lumps, limping, and more. 

Vaccines are essential for preventive care and can increase the chances of a longer, happier life for pets. Ensuring that pets are consistently up to date with their vaccinations can help prevent contracting disease or help lessen the severity of symptoms if a disease is contracted.

Another key component of helping to maintain your pet’s health and happiness is having them on reliable, consistent heartworm preventative.  

Heartworm disease is serious and potentially fatal to our dogs and cats. Heartworms are spread by mosquito bites and can grow up to a foot long, living in the heart and lungs of our beloved pets.  

Fleas can cause itchy skin, skin infections, and spread tapeworms. Ticks can carry disease such as Lyme Disease, Ehrlichiosis, and more. 

From routine cleanings to tooth extractions, the Thrive Pet Healthcare network of Primary Care veterinarians and Dental Specialists is here to keep your pet's smile fresh! Our general practices can take care of everyday dental maintenance with outstanding regular check-ins, cleanings, and basic surgeries.

Meanwhile, our specialty veterinarians are prepared to handle more complex or chronic dental cases like a root abscess, jaw fracture, abnormal tooth formation, or advanced periodontal disease. These doctors are highly trained within the field of veterinary dentistry and have access to specialized equipment, typically unavailable at primary care clinics. 

Unless you intend to breed, we recommend having pets spayed or neutered. Pets that have been spayed or neutered tend to live longer and have healthier lives.

It's hard to provide care without knowing the root of what is ailing your pet, which is why diagnostic testing is so important. Diagnostic testing can include laboratory testing (blood, urine, and fecal) and diagnostic imaging like X–rays, CT, MRI, and ultrasound. 

It’s never easy leaving your best furry friend behind when you take a trip, but thankfully you can feel calm and relaxed knowing they are in the safest of hands with our pet boarding and daycare teams.  

Our facilities have a wide variety of comforts and specialties that you can add for your pet to enjoy during their stay! When you bring your pet to a Thrive Pet Care partner facility, you can rest easy knowing your pet is playing, interacting, and sleeping the day away until they're ready to greet you at the door again at the end of their stay.

It can be really tough to trust another person with your fur child - after all, you are the only person who truly understands your pet’s unique needs and behaviors. However, we hope as a national leader in pet healthcare, you can have confidence in our team’s commitment to care for your pet as if they were our own.  

The occasional taps, scrapes, and scratches that happen when playing with your pet means it's time for a trip to your local veterinarian or boarding facility! Trimming your pet's nails is a healthy part of their life, and can lead to greater comfort in everyday activity.

Your pet doesn't just enjoy being your companion - they like to be as fashionable as you too! Proper specialty grooming services mean giving your pet that extra special treatment in hairstyles, dyes, and other grooming requests that go beyond maintenance and bathing. And we make sure to match your wants with Thrive Pet Care partner network specialists whenever possible for a professionally styled pet!

Let's face it - the life of a pet can be pretty dirty. Playing in things and making a mess, self-grooming, and all the little things that our pets enjoy every day doesn't always make for a great smelling companion. That's why our Thrive Pet Care partner clinics offer bathing services to get your pet sweet smelling and sparkly clean!

Bathing specialists at Thrive Pet Care partner clinics know what it means to give a scared pet a bath too, as they're trained and prepared in keeping your pet calm, even when they don't like being clean. When your pet comes back out, you'll be glad they got a bath - and they will be too!

Veterinary acupuncture is a therapy used to relieve pain and muscle spasms, and to increase nerve regeneration and blood circulation. During medical acupuncture for animals, slim, sterile needles are applied to specific points on the pet's body, leading to clinically proven improvements in comfort and function of muscles, organs, and nerves.

Laser therapy (also called cold laser, therapeutic laser, or low-level laser) is an incredibly safe technology that delivers photons of light directly to a pet's injured or painful tissue. Extensive research has shown how this process can help to improve neurologic function, heal wounds, decrease swelling and reduce their pain by interacting with mitochondria, stimulating rapid repair of damaged cells. Cold laser therapy works well for pets suffering from:

Stem Cell and Protein Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapies are innovative forms of non-surgical regenerative (restorative) treatments that use the body's own healing abilities to help treat injury and disease in pets. These safe and effective treatments have been shown to help pets suffering from a wide variety of conditions ranging from osteoarthritis to soft tissue injuries.

We will be by your side during this time of need to offer both medical assistance and emotional support. 

We understand how difficult it can be to make decisions about your pet’s health, and we want you to feel fully supported during this time. Horseshoe Lakes is a compassionate team of veterinarians within the Thrive Pet Healthcare community, dedicated to helping you assess your pet’s quality of life. We offer guidance, counseling, and the option to provide your pet with a gentle, loving, and respectful end-of-life experience—right at home, where they feel most at peace. *Distance restrictions apply.
