Foundational Health

Custom Vaccine Protocols: Tailored to your pet’s exact age, breed, and lifestyle (Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, Leptospirosis, FVRCP, FeLV).
Parasite Prevention: Comprehensive defense against fleas, ticks, heartworm disease, and intestinal worms.
Microchipping: Permanent, life-saving identification linked to national pet recovery registries.
Senior Pet Screenings: Early detection of arthritis, kidney values, and metabolic changes in aging pets.

Surgical Precision

Surgery & Monitored Anesthesia

We know surgery can be stressful for pet parents. At Porter, patient safety is our highest priority. Every anesthetic procedure includes pre-operative blood screening, dedicated intravenous fluid support, continuous multi-parameter monitoring (ECG, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, end-tidal CO2, core temperature), and proactive multi-modal pain management.

Spay & Neuter Procedures: Routine gonadectomy performed with gentle tissue handling and secure recovery.
Mass & Lump Removals: Surgical excision of cutaneous, subcutaneous, and mucosal tumors with histopathology submission.
Soft-Tissue Surgeries: Foreign body removals, cystotomy (bladder stone extraction), wound reconstruction, and hernia repairs.

Dentistry & Periodontal Care

Periodontal disease is the #1 diagnosed medical condition in dogs and cats over the age of three. Untreated dental bacteria cause chronic pain, tooth loss, and can migrate to the heart valves, kidneys, and liver.

Ultrasonic Scaling & Polishing: Complete removal of calculus above and below the gumline under safe anesthesia.
Surgical Extractions: Painless removal of fractured, abscessed, or resorptive teeth with local nerve blocks.
Home Oral Care Coaching: Practical dental chews, rinses, and brushing strategies for dogs and cats.
