As we approach springtime with longer days and warmer temperatures, we will start seeing more parasites afflicting our companion pets. Dogs and cat that go outdoors are most at risk, but even indoor-only pets can be victims of various pesky parasites.

Middle River Veterinary Hospital is excited to offer our clients Companion Laser Therapy. Laser therapy provides a non-invasive, pain-free, surgery-free, drug-free treatment which is used to treat a variety of conditions and can be performed in conjunction with existing treatment protocols.

Your pet's upcoming surgery is safe with modern anesthesia and continuous monitoring. Pre-surgical blood work checks liver and kidney function to reduce risks. We provide comprehensive pain management and clear home care instructions. Call us anytime with questions. We're here to help!

Your heartworm prevention does more than prevent heartworms! It protects against roundworms and hookworms that can infect people, especially children. These parasites cause serious illness in pets and humans. Keep your pet on prevention year round to protect your whole family and community

Think ticks disappear in winter? Think again! In Virginia's mild climate, many ticks stay active when temps are above freezing. The Deer Tick that carries Lyme disease is active all winter long. Protect your pet year round with oral, topical, or collar prevention. We can help you choose!
