Veterinary Services

Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best.

Veterinary Services in Mentor, OH

Even though you know your pet better than anyone, sometimes the signs of illness are so subtle you don't notice until your pet's condition has deteriorated significantly. At Tyler Animal Clinic we recommend regular wellness exams for the same reason your physician and dentist recommend them – when we are able to detect a problem in its early stages, we are more likely to be able to treat the illness successfully, with less suffering for your pet and less expense for you.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services

Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.  

Surgical Services

Our doctors offer a wide variety of surgical procedures including advanced soft-tissue and orthopedic surgery performed by a Board Certified Surgeon.

Dentistry

Our dental services include teeth cleaning and polishing, dental X-rays, tooth extractions or restorations and oral surgery.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound gives us a real-time look at organ systems, blood flow and structures that X-rays can't provide.

Echocardiography

We offer comprehensive cardiac diagnostics including echocardiography for both dogs and cats. We can image the smallest structures inside the heart, valves, measure blood flow characteristics, flow velocities, pressures, chamber volume, dimensions, structural disease and other parameters. The images combined with radiographs, EKG, laboratory data, patient history and exam results are submitted over the internet to a Board Certified Cardiologist for diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We usually have results in under 24 hours but often the same day. Our experienced staff combined with a quiet and relaxing environment virtually eliminates the need for sedation. Gentle handling techniques, calm voices and belly scratches go a long way in making this as stress free as possible

Electrocardiography Services

We provide ECG services on-site as well as consultations with a Board Certified Cardiologist if needed.

Endoscopy

Endoscopy serves many purposes in veterinary medicine. From foreign object retrieval to biopsy to some laser procedures, endoscopy often eliminates the need for surgery and allows us to view the inside with minimal risk or discomfort.

Anesthesia

We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide an extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high-risk patients. Using the most modern equipment, the patient's vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.

Specialty Referrals

We work closely with various specialists including internal medicine, surgery, oncology, dermatology and several other specialties

Boarding

We refer all boarding requests to Mentor TLC Pet Lodge, one of the few professional boarding facilities in the country that has earned the distinction of being accredited by the American Boarding Kennel Association. They are right around the corner from us and work closely with us in the event that your dog or cat might become sick while you are away.

Radiology Services

Our on-site, modern digital X-ray equipment provides high quality radiographs to aid in the quick diagnosis of many disorders.

Laboratory

Our in-house laboratory facilities provide for serum chemistry, hematology, serology, urinalysis and parasite testing. We also utilize commercial veterinary laboratories for specialized diagnostics and consultations.

Permanent Identification

We offer RFID microchip identification.

Pharmacy

We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, shampoos, flea and tick control products and heartworm preventatives to meet the needs of your pet. We also carry a full line of prescription diets.

Individualized Flea Control Programs

We develop programs for the specific needs of your pet and your own particular environmental situation. We will review with you the best ways to control fleas in your house, in your yard and on your pet.
