Preventative Medicine
Routine
office visits including: thorough physical examinations; blood
and fecal test; annual and semi-annual vaccines; heartworm and
flea and tick prevention can help ensure a long and healthy life
for your 4-legged friend.
Routine
dental prophylaxis has shown to prevent serious heart and kidney
disease by preventing the transmission of bacteria into the bloodstream
from infected teeth and gums. Semiannual dental cleanings are recommended.

We
offer a state-of-the-art, computerized X-ray department offering
clear, crisp diagnostic films for accurate and rapid interpretations
of orthopedic as well as soft tissue problems.

using Isoflurane vaporizer delivery systems and careful monitoring

Dentistry
The
most overlooked health risk in dogs, cats and pocket pets is periodontal
disease. Besides loose teeth, gum infections and chewing disorders,
bacteria from dental disease can lead to congestive heart failure
& kidney disease. We offer dental X-ray, ultrasonic dental
scalings and periodontal treatments to preserve and maintain a
healthy oral environment.
Dermatology
The
south Florida climate has shown to contribute to skin and allergy
disorders. Allergy testing, skin scraping, cultures, biopsy and
endocrine testing are just some of the tools used to diagnose
and treat your pets skin disorders. We offer a wide array of prescription
diets to help successfully manage many food-related skin allergies
as well as medicated shampoos and skin treatments to calm irritation
and restore luster and health to their coats.

Laboratory
& Diagnostics
We
maintain a fully equipped laboratory for complete blood counts,
blood chemistry, urinalysis, viral isolation tests, pregnancy
testing, electrocardiograms (E.C.G.) and glaucoma pressure testing
(Eye Tonometry).
Geriatric
Medicine
Dogs
and cats age at the rate of approximately 7 years for every one
of ours. That means your pet is considered a "geriatric"
by the time they reach 8 years old. Significant changes occur
and routine geriatric profiles should be done to discover problems
early in their course and treat them with appropriate therapies.
We want to help you help them stay healthy as long as possible.
Senility, arthritis, obesity, impaired hearing and sight are all
the subtle changes that occur as our pets get older. Be on the lookout.
Behavioral
Counseling
Training
your pet at an early age may not be the only way to address serious
behavioral problems. Destructive behavior, separation anxiety
disorders, senility & cognitive dysfunction disorder, dominant
aggression and inappropriate urine marking are only some of the
problems encountered on a regular basis. Behavior modification
using training and medical therapy can make a real significant
difference for you and your pet's life.
Pet
Transportation/Pickup
We
can offer pickup and drop off service if you are unable to get
your pet in for an appointment for whatever reason. (Service offered
to limited areas of Southwest Dade County)
House
Calls
Dr.
Wander does offer house calls in cases of special needs. Areas
are limited and must be made by appointment due to restricted
times available.
