Overall

My cat was given too much medication and injections. My cat was in so much pain and died within 10 hours of his clinic visit. I was also way over charged for the appointment and the medication. This all ended with no remorse or apology from the Country Vet Clinic.

Preventive Care

Dental Care
The staff at the PetCare Center is committed to veterinary dental excellence. Our doctors attend continual education in veterinary dentistry and our technicians are certified in veterinary dentistry.
Vaccination
Vaccinating your pet against disease is one of the best tools for preventing disease. See the article on vaccinations for our companion animal friends.
Nutritional Counseling
There are a number of factors that can contribute to pet obesity, including genetics, age, activity level, and diet. For example, some breeds of dogs are more prone to weight gain than others. Some older pets may be more likely to be obese because they tend to be less active and have a slower metabolism. Additionally, pets who don't get enough exercise are also at risk for weight gain. Finally, an unhealthy diet is one of the main culprits behind pet obesity. Just like with people, if pets eat too much food and consume too many calories, they will gain weight.
Comprehensive Examination
With appropriate veterinary care and nutrition, your pet’s senior years can be healthy and happy. You are the key to making this happen. You know your pet better than anyone so it’s up to you to report any changes to your veterinarian. Physical exams and diagnostic testing are very important as your pet ages. Remember: your dog ages 5 to 7 years for every one of yours. This suggests that health problems in your pet can progress 5 to 7 times faster. More frequent checkups are therefore necessary.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Unfortunately, some pets can experience a more severe reaction known as flea allergy dermatitis. This condition is a result of an allergic reaction to flea saliva and can cause extreme discomfort long after the flea is gone.
Behavioral Disorder Treatment
We provide both core and optional vaccines for dogs and cats. The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) recommends that all dogs receive canine distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza, and rabies vaccinations. Core vaccines for cats include feline distemper, feline calicivirus, feline herpes, and rabies. Puppies and kittens should receive their first set of vaccines by eight weeks of age. We also offer Bordetella, leptospirosis, chlamydia, feline leukemia, and giardia.
Pain Management
Recognizing the early signs of pain is essential for getting your pet the help they need. If you notice any indication of pain, please give us a call so we can help. Our team will perform a thorough evaluation of your pet and discuss your concerns. Your observations can provide critical information to help us diagnose your pet. Once we know what’s wrong, we can discuss treatment options and pain management to help get your furry friend back on track.
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Is your pet constantly scratching? Pets can suffer from various skin issues that can cause extreme discomfort. Some pets may develop skin irritation as a result of allergies, while other pets may be itchy from fleas or other parasites. To provide your pet some itch relief, you’ll need to know what to look for and what is causing your pet’s problem.
Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
If your dog licks his feet, seems itchy, has chronic ear or skin infections, or has chronic anal sac problems, there is a very good chance that an allergy is the primary culprit. While people tend to have allergic signs mostly related to the respiratory system, dog allergies are seen primarily as chronic problems associated with the skin and related structures. Excessive licking of feet, legs and abdomen is nearly a guarantee that allergies are involved. Depending on the cause of the allergy, you may see these signs being worse during certain seasons of the year, at least initially.
Injury Treatment
Companion animals, like their humans, can benefit from physical rehabilitation to recover from joint and muscle injuries, orthopedic surgery...

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
If left untreated, pets can develop secondary bacterial infections. Because of this, it’s essential to keep a close eye on your pet’s skin and seek help if their condition does not improve.
Ear Infection Treatment
Pets who shake their heads, scratch their ears, or seem smelly can be showing signs of an ear infection. Our veterinarians will use an otoscope or in some cases the Med-Rx imaging otoscope to make a visual check of your pet’s ear canals. Inflammation, infection, tumors, and ear mites are all diagnosed by a thorough ear exam.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Hip Dysplasia Treatment
Pet obesity can lead to a host of health problems in both dogs and cats, including joint pain, orthopedic issues, respiratory difficulties, gastrointestinal problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer. One of the best ways to prevent these problems is by keeping your pet at a healthy weight.
Obesity Treatment
Just like humans, our pets can suffer from obesity. As pet owners, it's our responsibility to make sure our animal companions stay at a healthy weight. Not only does obesity limit your pet's mobility, but it can also lead to a host of health problems and make your pet more susceptible to disease. Here's what you need to know about pet obesity and how to prevent it.
Diabetes Treatment
Heart Disease Treatment
Your veterinarian will use a stethoscope to listen to your pet's heart and lungs. Early heart disease is often recognized during physical exams. Excercise intolerance and coughing can be signs of heart and lung disease.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
More than 85% of dogs and cats that are at least 4 years old have a condition in which bacteria attack the soft gum tissue. This condition is called periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is the final stage in a process that begins with the development of plaque on your pet’s teeth. Plaque is a substance that forms when bacteria multiply on the teeth and gums. Plaque mixes with saliva, hardens, and becomes the substances known as tartar and calculus. Bacteria, plaque, tartar, and calculus irritate the gums, which become tender, red, and swollen. This stage of dental disease is called gingivitis. Eventually inflamed gums separate from the teeth, creating pockets that can trap more bacteria. These pockets deepen and bacteria may attack the roots of the teeth and the bony tissue of the jaw, causing teeth to loosen, the gums to bleed, the breath to smell, and pain when your pet eats. This is full-blown periodontal disease.

Wound and Fracture Care

Veterinary Surgery
Our team is experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of conditions. Staying current with the latest research findings and diagnostic capabilities allows us to provide up-to-date recommendations.
Laser Surgery
The Alexandria Veterinary Clinic PetCare Center has a staff of four doctors and an exceptional support staff of certified veterinary technicians, client service representatives, and groomers. Health care at the clinic ranges from preventative medicine to critical care. Our veterinarians have more than 100 years of combined veterinary experience to help you with your special pet. We offer state of the art technology including laser surgery.
Small Animal Surgery
Dr. Calvin Kobluk attended the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatchewan, Canada where he graduated in 1978. He then went on to do a residency in surgery at the Ontario Veterinary College from 1984 to 1986. Upon completion of his residency, he moved to the twin cities area and signed on as a faculty member at the University of Minnesota. He worked primarily in the enquine department from 1986 to 1995. While there he received his board certification in both large and small animal surgery. In 1995 he and his family moved to California where, until 2001, he was a part of the Administration at Cal Poly – Pomona. He worked as a full professor as well as helping to develop the veterinary school there where he also worked a few years as a full professor. In 2001, Dr Kobluk elected to leave the academic evironment and pursue other professional opportunities. he began to practice at All Care Animal Refferal Center, the nations largest privately owned referral practice, where he worked until his family moved back to Minnesota in 2003. Since moving back to Minnesota he has continued to build upon his professional interests and knowledge. He became TPLO certified in 2003, joined the affiliated Emergency Veterinary Service in 2004, and has had 2 articles published in JAVMA (on article on hip dysplasia and one on femoral neck fractures) with 3 more articles pending publication.
Spaying and Neutering
Spaying your female pet and neutering your male pet helps to control pet overpopulation. Unfortunately, millions of pets are euthanized every year because there are not enough homes for all of them. Additional benefits of sterilization include a longer lifespan, reduced risk of mammary gland and testicular cancer, no heat cycles or roaming behavior, and less aggressive behavior by both males and females.

Laboratory Services
Utilizing both in-house and out-source laboratories we are able to provide an array of diagnostic services, primarily focusing on milk quality and calf health.
X-Ray
Dental Radiology
If your pet already has evidence of periodontal disease, a professional cleaning is in order. To provide excellent dental care, bloodwork, dental radiography and other diagnostic tests are performed to evaluate the heart, liver, and kidneys for coexisting disease before proceeding with general anesthesia.

General Pet Care

Boarding

And what could be more rewarding than giving a senior pet a "new leash on life"? Senior pets are often passed over in favor of puppies and kittens, but they have so much to offer! Here are five reasons to consider adopting a senior pet today...
