Preventive Care

Dental Care
Is your pet experiencing bad breath or excessive drooling? Just like humans, pets need regular dental care and cleanings. Good dental care plays a crucial role in the quality of your pet's life. Dental disease is the most common medical problem seen in pets and can lead to pain, tooth loss, and generalized disease. We offer routine dental care including exams, x-rays, teeth cleaning, and more.
Vaccination
We also offer Rattlesnake Vaccination for those dogs that would have higher exposure to snakes such as those who hunt, hike with owners, or even spend time at the river. The vaccine works by generating protective antibodies against snake venom in the patient's body. This means that vaccinated dogs experience less pain and have a reduced risk of permanent injury from a rattlesnake bite. Such patients usually experience less swelling and faster recovery after a bite. The combination of vaccination and training will not keep your pet from reacting to venom if bit, but it will give your dog the best chance at a fast recovery.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
If you are concerned about your pet’s eyes or vision, we can help. Our veterinarians can help diagnose and treat a variety of ophthalmological issues, including but not limited to, dry eyes, cataracts, corneal infection or trauma, and glaucoma. It is important to report any changes in your pet’s eyes or vision during your routine veterinary visits.
Behavioral Counseling
Do you need advice regarding the redirection of unwanted behaviors such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling, or aggression? We offer solutions for a variety of behavioral issues that pet owners face. Behavioral problems can be challenging and frustrating for both pets and pet owners. It is our goal to work with you towards a solution.
Nutritional Counseling
Our doctors and staff are here to help you make informed nutrition choices for your pet. From picking a brand, to what ingredients your pet needs, to how much to feed — we are here to help. We offer assistance with special dietary needs, weight loss or gain, age-related nutrition, and nutrition for managing various medical conditions. Our nutritional counseling services can help you accomplish your goals and keep your pet in good health.
Comprehensive Examination
As pet owners ourselves, we believe that preventative care with wellness exams are the keys to your pet living a longer, healthier, and happier life.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Heartworm disease in cats is caused by the inflammatory reaction generated by the worm's presence. In dogs, heartworm disease is mostly about the obstruction of blood flow from the physical size of the worms.
Pain Management
With your pet’s comfort and safety at the forefront, we utilize pain management protocols before, during, and after surgery until they are completely recovered. This includes monitoring vital signs, assessing your pet for pain indicators, and keeping them well-fed, warm and comfortable in their surroundings.
Vomiting Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Itching, scratching, and hot spots are all signs of allergies and skin conditions in pets. Just like humans, pets can be sensitive to irritants that cause them distress. Our team will diagnose and offer treatment for pets with skin-related problems including parasites, allergies, rashes, infections, hair loss, and more. When left untreated, some of these conditions can become serious health concerns.
Injury Treatment
Numerous studies show that Laser Therapy can help with (but are not limited to) osteoarthritis, joint pain, edema and congestion, ligament sprains, stomatitis, muscle strains, wounds, post-traumatic injury, post-surgical pain, neck and back pain, hip dysplasia, burns, chronic wounds, chronic ear conditions, and much more.
Intestinal Foreign Object Removal

Infection Treatment

Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Vaccinations are very important for young pets when their immune systems are still developing. Vaccines protect against many viral and bacterial infections in pets. Our veterinarians provide vaccination education and discuss our vaccine schedule, which helps to keep your pet healthy.
Ear Infection Treatment
Your veterinarian will examine your pet from nose to tail, looking for things like heart murmurs, ear infections, and/or parasites. Your veterinarian can also provide pet-proofing tips, training assistance, and parasite protection recommendations.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Many pets develop arthritis in their joints as they age, affecting their mobility and overall quality of life. Canine Platelet Enhancement Therapy (C-PET) is a relatively new, minimally invasive, treatment technique that uses platelet-rich plasma from your pet’s own blood to accelerate healing, help relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis and slow the progression of disease.
Hip Dysplasia Treatment
Tickle Blagg Animal Hospital is excited to offer our patients the benefits of therapeutic lasers. We now have the ability to provide a non-invasive and safe treatment option for patients with ailments such as joint pain, wounds, post-surgical pain, and much more.
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Knee Problems Treatment
We routinely perform orthopedic surgeries, which are procedures related to bones and joints. Common orthopedic pet surgeries include bone fracture repair, cruciate ligament repair, extracapsular and TPLO techniques, leg or toe amputation, patellar luxation repair, and surgeries to treat hip dysplasia, including femoral head ostectomy (FHO).
Heart Disease Treatment
An EKG is a painless test used to diagnose cardiac abnormalities, such as an enlarged heart, heart murmur, congestive heart failure, or irregular heart rhythm. EKGs can also help determine if your pet’s heart is strong enough to undergo anesthesia and is often used as a pre-surgical test.
Kidney Disease Treatment
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Dental disease is the most common disease in dogs. Recent studies show that 85% of cats and 92% of dogs over age 3 have periodontal disease.

Seizure Treatment
Wound and Fracture Care
Our veterinarians are experienced in various soft tissue pet surgeries, the most routinely performed procedures being spay/neuters and mass/tumor removals. Other examples of veterinary soft tissue surgeries include intestinal foreign body removal, laceration and wound repair, eye surgery, perineal urethrostomy, mastectomy, splenectomy, and other specialized surgeries.

Dental Surgery
Reduces the need for more advanced and expensive treatment in the future such as teeth extractions and oral surgery
Ophthalmic Surgery

Laser Surgery
Spaying and Neutering
Spaying or neutering your pet is an important decision for pet owners. Removal of the male or female reproductive organs prevents unwanted pregnancies and reproductive cancers from threatening your pet's life. We offer spay and neuter surgery as part of your pet's preventative wellness care.

Laboratory Services
Our veterinarians take every precaution to make sure your pet comes out of any procedure, whether major or minor, on the way to a swift recovery. To ensure your pet’s safety, we provide round-the-clock care and monitoring for all surgical patients during business hours. We perform all pet surgeries under anesthesia and advocate the use of pre-anesthetic blood work to detect any underlying disease that may affect the response to anesthesia.
X-Ray
Microchipping
Should I microchip my pet? Every year thousands of pets go missing. Even the most responsible pet owners experience broken leashes, escape artists, and thefts. Microchipping is a safe, effective, and permanent way to identify your pet in the event they get lost or stolen.

General Pet Care

Boarding
Senior Pet Care
As pets enter their senior years, they require specialized care and age-specific testing to stay healthy and extend longevity. As your pet ages, our veterinarians can help you identify early warning signs and take the necessary precautions to keep your senior pet healthy and happy.
