Circle of Life Animal Hospital

Preventive Care

Dental Care
Circle of Life Animal Hospital is a well-established, full-service, small and large animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical, and dental care for the pets of Festus, Missouri.
Vaccination
For the safety of all animals in our care, we require that all vaccinations be up to date. Even though we make every effort to make our patients feel comfortable during visits, they may be a little uneasy about new people, new surroundings, and other pets. This is one of the reasons we ask you to restrain your pet. We recommend that animals be placed on a leash or in pet carriers before entering the waiting room.
Behavioral Counseling
Does your pet act out in ways that are annoying, destructive, or just unbecoming? Are you frustrated with certain negative behaviors? Are your companion’s bad habits causing a rift between you and making it difficult for you to embrace them as a part of the family? If you’re struggling with your pet’s behavior problems, you’re not alone! Circle of Life Animal Hospital offers comprehensive behavioral counseling services to help manage and overcome negative pet behaviors once and for all.
Nutritional Counseling
We can help evaluate your pet to see if and how much weight loss is needed, help you select a reduced-calorie diet, and also to help calculate appropriate feeding amounts for your specific pet.
Comprehensive Examination
Today’s modern anesthetic monitors have made surgery much safer than in the past. Here at Circle of Life Animal Hospital, we do a thorough physical exam on your pet before administering anesthetics, to ensure that a fever or other illness won’t be a problem. We also adjust the amount and type of anesthetic used depending on the health of your pet.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
There was a time when parasites like fleas, ticks, and roundworms were considered mostly a nuisance. Now, however, we know that parasites can cause serious illness and even death in pets. For example, ticks can transmit infections like Lyme disease, and fleas can transmit tapeworms and Bartonella, the bacteria that causes “cat scratch fever” in humans. Another type of parasite called heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes. Heartworms live in your pet’s lungs and heart, causing damage to these organs and sometimes even death. Intestinal parasites, like roundworms and hookworms, also threaten pets and are even transmissible to humans.
Pain Management
Anything that causes pain in people can be expected to cause pain in animals. Pets may not show the same symptoms of pain as people do; they usually don’t whine or cry, but you can be sure they feel it. Pain medications needed will depend on the surgery performed. Major procedures require more pain relief than things like minor lacerations.

Infection Treatment

Parvovirus Infection Treatment
To ensure the health and safety of all pet guests, we require that they are current on vaccinations and free of both intestinal and external parasites to ensure the health and safety of all guests. All dogs must be current for parvovirus, Bordetella, distemper, and rabies. All cats must be current on FVRCP (feline rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia) and rabies. We require a negative stool sample every 6 months for all animals boarding with us.
Ear Infection Treatment
Anal Gland Infection Treatment
When you trust our animal hospital with grooming services, you can always expect your pet to receive quality, compassionate care. Whether your pet is just here for a quick bath, nail trim, anal gland expression, or more extensive treatment, such as a medicated bath, de-matting, ear cleaning, or a sanitary clip, our veterinary team will always treat your pet as one of their own. We also offer mild sedation (given at home before the appointment) for those fur babies that stress easily. We strive to keep your pet as comfortable and relaxed as possible throughout the grooming appointment, and we’ll give you a call as soon as your pet is ready to be picked up.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Hip Dysplasia Treatment
Diabetes Treatment
Heart Disease Treatment
Feeding a healthy diet and maintaining a healthy weight can increase life expectancy, quality of life, decrease the risk of many diseases (such as arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease), and help manage chronic medical conditions. We include a nutritional assessment and a weight evaluation in every health evaluation for every pet. We will also evaluate trends in your pet’s weight, as weight gain or weight loss can be signs of underlying disease or may indicate a need to change your feeding regimen.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
The beginning and severity of periodontal disease depend on age, breed, diet, and at-home care, with younger or small-breed dogs typically presenting with infection earlier than large-breed dogs. Abnormal signs and symptoms of dental abnormalities include pain, bad breath, excessive drooling, fractured or loose teeth, swelling or bleeding of the gums, tumors, sores, or wounds.

Wound and Fracture Care
We know how stressful it can be to have a pet that needs an operation. We’re here to calm your concerns. Circle of Life Animal Hospital offers a complete range of surgical services in our modern, state-of-the-art surgical suite. Here, we’re able to perform a wide variety of orthopedic and soft tissue surgeries including spays and neuters, fracture repair, surgical biopsy, and abdominal exploratory. More importantly, we focus on making sure your pet is as comfortable as possible while in our care, and we’ll make sure that all pre-operative and post-operative care is administered properly and clearly explained to you.

Veterinary Surgery
Declawing

Laboratory Services
We offer three levels of in-house blood testing before surgery, which we will go over with you when you bring your pet in. Our doctors prefer the more comprehensive screen because it gives them the most information to ensure the safety of your pet. For geriatric or ill pets, additional blood tests, electrocardiograms, or X-rays may be required before surgery as well.
X-Ray
Microchipping
Young puppies and kittens can receive microchips, but even if your pet is already an adult, you should consider microchipping. Even indoor pets can get outside accidentally and get lost, so if you’re relying on other forms of identification, you could be placing your pet at risk. Microchipping is a safe, effective way to help ensure your pet’s return if the unthinkable happens.

General Pet Care

Boarding
Grooming
Our veterinarians at Circle of Life Animal Hospital are proud to offer a wide range of grooming services to keep your pet looking and feeling his/her best. Our hospital offers bathing, nail trims, anal gland expressions, ear cleaning, and clipping. It’s always a great time to schedule a spa day!
