Veterinary dentistry is a specialized field of veterinary medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of dental and oral diseases in animals. A healthy mouth is crucial for an animal's well-being and overall health, as dental diseases can often lead to pain, infections, and other health complications. Our practice places great importance on ensuring that our patients have healthy teeth and a healthy oral cavity. Healthy teeth are the first step to a long and healthy life.

Digital dental X-ray is a state-of-the-art imaging technique that is invaluable in veterinary dentistry. It allows for the capture of precise, high-resolution images of the teeth and surrounding jawbone. This method is fast, safe, and provides reliable detection and diagnosis of dental issues in animals.

Dental surgery in veterinary medicine includes various surgical procedures to treat dental and oral diseases in animals. A commonly performed procedure is the extraction of teeth that need to be removed due to damage, infection, or looseness. In cases of advanced periodontitis, extraction can be the best long-term solution to prevent pain for the animal. In such cases, the specialized surgical technique known as "flaps" is used, where the gum tissue is carefully folded back to access deeper structures such as the tooth-supporting apparatus and jawbone. This technique is particularly employed for treating periodontal diseases or complex tooth extractions, allowing the veterinarian to precisely clean the affected tissue, remove diseased tissue, and perform surgical interventions on the bone.

In dentistry, tooth restoration refers to the replacement of dental defects or destroyed tooth structure using artificial filling materials. It is not always necessary to remove a damaged tooth, as fillings can often preserve the tooth's longevity.

Digital radiographic diagnostics is an extremely important tool and an essential component of our commitment to precise and rapid diagnosis. The right diagnosis can save lives.

Ultrasound examinations are a widely used and gentle imaging method in veterinary medicine, allowing detailed visualization of an animal's internal organs and tissue structures without the use of radiation. Ultrasound is highly effective for diagnosing and monitoring diseases and is often used as a complementary procedure to X-rays.

Abdominal ultrasound is a valuable diagnostic method in veterinary medicine for examining the internal organs in an animal's abdominal cavity. This non-invasive procedure allows for a detailed view of abdominal organs such as the liver, spleen, kidneys, bladder, stomach, and intestines without the need for surgery. It is often used to identify the causes of symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or loss of appetite and can also serve as a preventive examination.

Echocardiography with Doppler technology is an important part of medical diagnostics in veterinary medicine. This specialized ultrasound examination allows us to precisely assess the structure and function of the heart. Doppler technology also enables the measurement of blood flow through the heart valves and large blood vessels, which is crucial for diagnosing heart and circulatory diseases. Timely and accurate diagnosis, along with treatment of heart conditions, can help ensure that our beloved cats and dogs live long, healthy lives.

Surgical procedures in veterinary medicine are of great importance and encompass a wide range of operations performed on animals. These procedures are used to treat acute injuries, remove tumors, repair organs and tissues, relieve chronic pain, and restore quality of life. In our practice, we offer a variety of surgical interventions, including soft tissue surgery, castration, tumor removal, and wound care. Ophthalmic surgery is a specialized area of veterinary medicine that focuses on the treatment of eye diseases and injuries to preserve and improve the vision and eye health of animals. The necessary surgical procedures are carefully planned in our practice and tailored to each animal individually. Your animals are important to us.

Anesthesia management and intubation anesthesia play a crucial role in veterinary practice. These procedures require precise monitoring and adjustment to ensure the safety of the anesthesia and minimize potential risks. Thorough anesthesia management and intubation anesthesia are essential to provide animals with a safe and pain-free surgery. Continuous monitoring and control of anesthesia depth, airways, and vital parameters help minimize risks and ensure optimal care for the animal.

The in-house laboratory is an essential component of modern veterinary practices, allowing for the rapid acquisition of precise diagnostic information about an animal's health. With the use of immediate diagnostic labs, many tests can be conducted on-site, reducing treatment time and enabling a quick response to health issues. Accurate and rapid laboratory diagnostics are crucial and serve as an important tool, allowing us to act swiftly and effectively.

Intensive care and inpatient treatment in veterinary medicine are crucial for providing the best possible care to critically ill or injured animals. These treatments are typically required in emergencies, life-threatening medical conditions, or for animals with chronic or complex health issues that require continuous monitoring and intensive care.

Ophthalmology in veterinary medicine is a specialized field focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of eye diseases in animals. Eye problems can cause significant discomfort and, if left untreated, may lead to severe complications such as blindness. Procedures such as slit-lamp examinations, tonometry (intraocular pressure measurement), ophthalmoscopy, and eyelid surgeries are common practices in our veterinary clinic.

Cardiology is a specialized field of veterinary medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of heart and circulatory diseases in animals. We follow the guidelines of leading veterinary cardiologists in Germany, Europe, and the USA. Modern techniques such as echocardiography, chest X-rays, blood pressure measurement, and laboratory tests of heart parameters serve as diagnostic tools. When combined with heart medications, these approaches significantly improve the quality of life and longevity of our four-legged companions.

The official HD/ED/OCD X-ray is a specialized diagnostic imaging procedure in veterinary medicine used to detect joint diseases in dogs and other animals at an early stage. This examination is particularly important for dog breeds genetically predisposed to conditions such as hip dysplasia (HD), elbow dysplasia (ED), and osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). The official HD/ED/OCD X-ray is often performed as part of breeding programs to ensure that only animals with healthy joints are allowed for breeding, thereby minimizing genetic defects.

Official breeding suitability examinations are crucial health checks in animal breeding to ensure that only healthy animals without genetic defects or hereditary diseases are allowed for breeding. These examinations are breed- and species-specific, aiming to minimize genetically inherited conditions within the population and ensure the health and well-being of future generations. The results of these breeding suitability exams are often recorded in breed registries and are required for official breeding approval.

Dermatology is a branch of veterinary medicine that focuses on diseases of the skin and its appendages. It involves the diagnosis, treatment, and management of skin conditions, often caused by allergies, hormonal imbalances, and parasites, bacteria, and fungi. Unfortunately, many of our patients suffer from skin diseases. Skin conditions require precise diagnostics as well as comprehensive treatment and counseling. Dermatology is an area of veterinary medicine where significant dissatisfaction can arise among pet owners. No one wants to see their beloved animal constantly scratching. We are here to help and provide your pet with the best chance for healing.

Allergies are often a trigger for other conditions such as skin and ear diseases, digestive issues, and itching. This manifests in constant scratching, licking, and biting, especially on the paws, ears, belly, and hind legs. The skin can become red, swollen, and warm, leading to hair loss and dandruff. Frequent ear infections are a common symptom of allergies, particularly in dogs, but also in cats. We offer a variety of solutions, including medical history and clinical examination, serological blood tests followed by ASIT (Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy, also known as desensitization), elimination diets, and appropriate counseling. Allergology is a complex field of veterinary medicine, as the causes of allergies are diverse and often require comprehensive diagnostics and individualized management. Through careful diagnostics and targeted treatment strategies, symptoms can be effectively alleviated, significantly improving the affected animal's quality of life.

Pain management and therapy are essential components of veterinary medicine to improve the well-being and quality of life of our animal patients. We increasingly focus on the combination of conventional NSAIDs with monoclonal antibodies as innovative treatment options.

Home visits are an integral part of our veterinary practice. In veterinary medicine, home visits are an important service, especially for patients and owners who have difficulty getting to the clinic or for animals that feel less stressed in a familiar environment.

In a severe and hopeless situation, following a prolonged illness or sudden, severe accident, euthanasia may need to be considered.

In our practice, we have an oxygen chamber available for animals, which can accommodate medium-sized dogs as well. Oxygen therapy is essential in many life-threatening situations, particularly in cases of heatstroke or chest-related diseases that impair oxygen supply. In the event of heatstroke, quick action is crucial, as every minute counts.

Preventive exams are an essential part of veterinary medicine to maintain the health of pets and detect potential illnesses early. Regular check-ups help identify issues in their early stages and treat them promptly before they have a serious impact on the animal's well-being. These exams are particularly important because animals often only show symptoms once a disease has already progressed.

In Germany, estimates suggest that between 44% and 65% of dogs and cats are overweight. Other sources report that 47% of cats and 44% of dogs are overweight. It is crucial to recognize this problem early and acknowledge it as a health issue.

Nutritional counseling for pets is an important service in veterinary medicine, ensuring that dogs and cats receive the proper nutrition to stay healthy and promote their well-being. A balanced diet is essential for maintaining an optimal weight, supporting the immune system, and preventing nutrition-related diseases. Nutritional counseling helps pet owners determine the appropriate food composition and feeding amounts that meet their pet's individual needs. For certain conditions, such as kidney or liver issues, diabetes, allergies, or skin problems, a special diet is necessary to support the pet's health and positively influence the course of the disease.

Endocrinology in veterinary medicine focuses on hormones and the endocrine system of animals, which play a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions. Hormones are secreted by specialized glands (e.g., thyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas) and control many vital processes, including metabolism, growth, reproduction, and stress responses. Hormonal disorders can cause a wide range of health problems, which can be diagnosed and treated through endocrinological examinations.

In Germany, vaccinations for dogs, cats, and rabbits are essential to protect them from dangerous infectious diseases.
