Services
Veterinary Surgery
Southdown Animal Clinic provides advanced surgical services for pets, including soft tissue, orthopedic, and ophthalmic procedures. Our skilled surgeons use modern techniques and equipment to treat injuries, congenital defects, and chronic conditions. From routine spay/neuter operations to complex TPLO surgeries for cruciate ligament tears, we prioritize patient safety and recovery. Pre-anesthetic blood testing ensures surgical readiness, while post-operative care includes pain management and physical therapy plans to restore mobility and comfort.
Dental Care
Our dental services encompass routine cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatments to maintain oral health. Using anesthesia and digital imaging, we address plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth fractures. Preventive care includes home care guidance and annual checkups to avoid complications like tooth loss. Advanced treatments like scaling and root planing help preserve dental integrity, ensuring pets maintain healthy smiles throughout their lives without pain or infection risks.
Pet Allergy Treatment
We diagnose and manage environmental, food, and parasitic allergies through skin tests, blood work, and targeted therapies. Treatment plans may include antihistamines, immunotherapy, or dietary changes to alleviate symptoms like itching and inflammation. Our team educates owners on avoiding allergens and monitoring reactions, ensuring pets achieve relief from chronic discomfort while preventing secondary infections caused by allergic responses.
Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy reduces pain and inflammation for conditions like arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and soft tissue injuries. This non-invasive treatment promotes cellular regeneration and improved circulation without requiring sedation. Most pets show improvement within 24 hours, with chronic cases benefiting from scheduled sessions. Laser therapy complements traditional pain medications, offering a drug-free option to enhance mobility and quality of life.
Preventive Wellness
Our wellness programs include vaccinations, parasite prevention, and annual exams tailored to each pet's age and lifestyle. Puppies and kittens receive initial screenings, while senior pets undergo advanced diagnostics for early disease detection. Preventive measures like flea/tick control and heartworm testing help avoid costly emergencies. Customized nutrition and exercise plans support long-term health, ensuring pets maintain vitality at every life stage.

The staff at Southdown Animal Clinic are genuinely some of the most amazing people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I've been here quite a few times for my two cats and you can tell that they care about what they do and the animals they work with. My job consists of working with people of many walks of life, and it is a breath of fresh air to still be reminded that genuine, kind and caring people still exist out there. Even when one of my cat's was going through a major diagnosis, they were there to answer all of my questions, provide any support that was required, and I always end up leaving

My cat only 7 months old had major surgery to take 2 hair ties out of his stomach. I knew there was something wrong with him because he didn't eat ,drink, or even go to the bathroom. He was in the hands of Dr. Warren and Dr. Jancovick, they have saved my charlys life after undergoing surgery to remove the hair ties. It was the most scariest thing I ever had to experience. But in southdowns hands of the professionals,I was able to have Charly home in 4 days. Boy it sure was lonely without him ,but he's is back to himself ,and u would never know that he had surgery because he heeled so great. Southdown

This is the best vet clinic I could ask for. It is not common to find veterinarians who treat small animals (in my case, a dwarf hamster), but Southdown Animal Clinic does! Everyone at the clinic is extremely compassionate, professional, and very good at their
jobs! The vet who treated my hamster, Dr. Jankovics, is remarkably good at her job. She was so compassionate towards my hamster and was very knowledgeable on how to take care of him. He had many problems in different areas of his body, and the fact that she knew so much about how to take care of him amazed me! I have had past experiences

All the staff here is so nice. I have a rabbit that comes here and they always take such good of her. You can tell that everyone here loves each and every pet that comes through their doors. I went through this clinic for spaying my rabbit and they were so helpful and kind during her recovery. I recommend this clinic for anyone that wants the absolute best care for their pet. The price is well worth it.
Emily always has such good phone etiquette. She is so polite.
