Preventive Care

Dental Care
One of the most important health care considerations for your pet is their dental hygiene. An animal receiving regular care for their teeth by a veterinarian and at home can live as much as 25% longer than pets that do not have dental care. Our furry family members will have many of the same issues as people with dental care, including bad breath, painful teeth and gums, tooth decay and tooth loss. Left untreated, bacteria in the mouth can cause harm to your pet’s heart liver and kidneys.

Preventive Care

Dental Care
One of the most important health care considerations for your pet is their dental hygiene. An animal receiving regular care for their teeth by a veterinarian and at home can live as much as 25% longer than pets that do not have dental care. Our furry family members will have many of the same issues as people with dental care, including bad breath, painful teeth and gums, tooth decay and tooth loss. Left untreated, bacteria in the mouth can cause harm to your pet’s heart liver and kidneys.
Vaccination
Adult pet wellness visits at Faithful Friends include updating vaccinations as necessary, as well as continued dental care. Blood work is recommended for healthy adult pets to establish a clinical baseline for organ function, and blood counts, and to potentially uncover early onset of disease.
Behavioral Counseling
Pets withdrawing from family members, experiencing loss of appetite, or become aggressive should be brought to Faithful Friends Veterinary Hospital as soon as possible. These behaviors may indicate pain or even early onset of disease, so Dr. Heath recommends an evaluation as soon as behavior changes are noticed.
Nutritional Counseling
Proper nutrition is one of the cornerstones of your pet’s health. One size does not fit all when it comes to a proper diet for your furry family member!
Comprehensive Examination
Pets are unable to communicate if they are hurting, so Dr. Ivy Heath must rely on physical exams and diagnostic tools such as blood work. Dr. Heath recommends blood work prior to any surgical procedure, to help ensure a pet is healthy enough for anesthesia. As your pet ages, running routine lab work on healthy animals is also recommended, as we can often identify early onset of certain disease. Finally, senior animals are recommended to have yearly labs run to keep them as healthy as possible as long as possible!

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Heartworm disease has been diagnosed in all fifty states, but is especially prevalent in the southeast portion of the United States. Faithful Friends Veterinary Hospital can determine whether your dog has heartworm disease in the Grifton, North Carolina area, and can also offer your furry friend the best in heartworm preventative medicine.
Pain Management
Faithful Friends Veterinary Hospital has a complete pharmacy at our facility for the health of your pet, as well as your convenience. Our dispensary has products for all of your pet’s medical needs including antibiotics, pain-management medications, dermatology products, and heartworm and flea and tick preventatives.
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Skin issues are common in pets across the country, and are frequently seen in Grifton, North Carolina and throughout the surrounding areas. Dr. Ivy Heath has years of experience in caring for animals with allergic conditions, and she will bring this same level of care to your furry family member. In the past, treatment for skin conditions was limited to bathing and steroids. Fortunately Faithful Friends Veterinary Hospital has incorporated a safe and effective method of allergy treatment known as immunotherapy.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Pain management medications are medically-appropriate in many aspects of veterinary medicine. Trauma, surgical procedures and long-term painful conditions such as osteoarthritis and cancer often warrant medication to keep pets comfortable. If your pet is facing a painful condition or surgery, contact Faithful Friends Veterinary Hospital, and allow our compassionate veterinarian to take appropriate action to keep your pet as comfortable and pain-free as possible.
Hip Dysplasia Treatment
Proper nutrition is one of the cornerstones of your pet’s health and wellness. The brands of pet food available at Faithful Friends Veterinary Hospital have all been hand-chosen by Dr. Ivy Heath to provide the proper amount of protein and nutrients your pet needs on a daily basis. One size does not fit all when it comes to a proper diet for your furry family member, and our pet foods are also selected for different health conditions and ages. Dr. Heath will also determine how much food is enough to insure your pet is not overfed, which increases the chances your pet becoming overweight. Overweight pets can face many of the same problems as people who are obese, including diabetes, joint pain, heart disease and even certain types of cancer. Help your pet avoid nutritional issues and schedule an appointment today to have one of our veterinarian determine which specific foods are best for your pet.
Obesity Treatment
Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Blood chemistries indicate how well your pet’s liver, kidney and pancreas function in your pet. A CBC can indicate your pet’s overall health, as red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets are all determined, which can indicate certain infections, cancers and the blood’s ability to clot. Electrolytes indicate whether an animal is dehydrated. Finally, thyroid testing can indicate a number is diseases including Cushing’s and Addison’s disease. Urinalysis can let our doctor know if your pet has certain infections, as well as diabetes.
Heart Disease Treatment
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Dr. Ivy Heath has many years of successful veterinary dental care, and she will bring the same high level of care to your pet as well. Periodontal disease can begin to appear in both dogs and cats as young as one year of age, and she recommends bringing your pet in as early as possible for an oral exam. Dr. Heath and her caring staff can show you proper techniques for caring for your pet’s teeth at home, as well as make recommendations on a proper diet for their oral health. Regardless of your pet’s age or previous dental care, the professionals at Faithful Friends Veterinary Hospital are ready to assist your furry family member. Call one of our compassionate team members at (252) 524-3384 today!

Wound and Fracture Care
Faithful Friends Veterinary Hospital has a goal to keep suffering and pain to an absolute minimum while maintaining your pet’s quality of life. Our focus is not curing your pet’s disease in hospice care. Hospice care does not involve diagnostic testing (examples: blood work, radiographs, or surgery). But instead we manage the symptoms through pain medication, physical therapy, special diet, management of incontinence, wound care and subcutaneous fluids. Most importantly, our staff will educate you about your pet’s disease and what will happen to the best of our medical knowledge. Our pledge to you is to be here for you and your pet every step of the way. We know this is a very difficult time and we want your last memories of your Faithful Friend to be good ones.

Veterinary Surgery
Faithful Friends Veterinary Hospital is pleased to offer a surgical and monitoring facility that includes state-of-the-art equipment and analyzers. In the event that your pet is severely injured or facing a major surgery, our surgical care center also includes intensive care.
Declawing
Spaying and Neutering
Faithful Friends Veterinary Hospital recommends spaying or neutering your between 4 and 6 months of age. This allows for proper maturation of the reproductive organs and allows your pet to heal at a faster rate than if the procedure was done earlier in life. Remember, spaying and neutering not only prevents unwanted litters of puppies and kittens, but also prevents certain types of reproductive cancers as your furry friend ages.
Veterinary Euthanasia
Cropping

Laboratory Services
Faithful Friends Veterinary Hospital is pleased to offer the latest in surgical equipment and techniques, and serves Grifton, North Carolina and the surrounding areas. Our clinic is outfitted with the latest in surgical equipment including a diagnostic laboratory, monitoring units, including blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen levels, as well as advanced surgical equipment.
X-Ray
One of the most important diagnostic is an x-ray system. We are pleased to offer the latest in radiography with our digital x-ray unit.
Microchipping
Have you thought about how you would try to find your beloved pet in the event they became lost or separated from you? Personalized collars are always helpful, but can be removed or fall off over time. Faithful Friends Veterinary Hospital recommends a permanent form of identification known as a microchip. A microchip is the size of a grain of rice, and is inserted just beneath the skin between the shoulder blades of your dog or cat. Each microchip has a unique code that will positively identify a pet when a scanner reads the chip of a found pet. Most veterinary clinics and humane societies check for microchips, so the odds of being reunited with a lost pet are much greater than collars and posting notices in your neighborhood.

General Pet Care

Senior Pet Care
Uncovering illness while they are in early stages can usually be treated much more effectively than discovering them after they have had time to develop. For this reason, Dr. Ivy Heath recommends all senior pets have health screens for early disease detection. The age a pet is considered “senior” can vary from dogs and cats and from breed to breed. Typically larger breeds of dogs and cats begin to have health issues earlier than smaller animals, and should begin screening earlier than smaller pets.
