techniques and technology. All patients are carefully monitored
for safety, and anesthetics are specifically tailored to your
pet. Surgical services and facilities include: fully trained veterinary
and technical staff to ensure the safest, most efficient, state-of-the-art
procedures for your pet; heated surgery tables and blankets for
greater comfort; advanced sterilization techniques; EKG and respiratory
monitors; and intensive care.

RADIOLOGY Radiology - or X-rays -
help us evaluate the muscular-skeletal, cardiovascular (cardiopulmonary),
gastrointestinal, reproductive and urinary systems of your pet.
-
PAIN MANAGEMENT Veterinary patients
feel pain and discomfort under the same circumstances as people
do. We know that recognizing and alleviating pain in animals is
the essence of good patient care.
- NUTRITIONAL
COUNSELING Some
pets require special food. Nutritional needs change throughout
the life cycle and all pets benefit from a balanced diet. Our
trained and certified staff is available to help you choose the
right diet for your pet to keep him or her happy, healthy and
active. We stock many of the prescription diets for your convenience.
-
MICROCHIPPING Microchip permanent
identification systems have helped reunite thousands of pets with
their families. We offer AVID chipTM micro chipping during routine
office calls or when your pet is under anesthesia. The microchip
is approximately the size of a grain of rice and is inserted permanently
under your pet's skin (between their shoulder blades) with a needle
(similar to getting a shot). Each chip has a unique identification
number assigned to your pet. All Orange County shelters have a
hand-held scanner which identifies your pet and allows the shelter
to notify you or your veterinarian.
-
INTERNAL MEDICINE The staff remain
at the forefront of veterinary medical advances in the area of
internal medicine. Dr. Cortese routinely manages internal medicine
cases including: Cardiology; Ophthalmology; Neurology; Dermatology;
Gastroenterology; Oncology; Endocrinology; among others.
-
IMMUNIZATION, PREVENTION, AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS What
is that saying? Prevention is 9/10ths of the cure? Here at Capistrano
Veterinary Clinic we strive to prevent illness whenever possible.
The time and effort invested in prevention has rewards for both
pets and owners. Our wellness programs are designed specifically
for your pet's needs and include: Comprehensive physical exam;
internal parasite testing and/or strategic deworming; heartworm
and flea control; vaccination program; spay and neuter package;
and specialized blood tests for all life stages. We also recommend
preventative medical care services such as preanesthetic blood
screening because it enhances the safety of anesthetic procedures
and provides a baseline of blood values for your pet.
-
FULLY STOCKED PHARMACY We stock a
wide range of the best veterinary drugs in the animal healthcare
field. We also carry several brands of prescription pet food for
your convenience.
-
EUTHANASIA SERVICES Saying goodbye
to a long-time friend is painful. We work with clients to ensure
their pet's comfort and dignity. Services include taking care
of the remains as directed by the client, including cremation.
-
EMERGENCY AND CRITICAL CARE In any
emergency, seconds count. Emergencies always take immediate priority.
Our experienced staff is always alert to the need to administer
the ABCs of basic life support - Airway, Breathing, Circulation/Cardiac
compressions. Emergency care is offered during regular business
hours. After hours, call our regular phone number, 949-496-3731
and you will be directed to the Animal Urgent Care Center in Mission
Viejo.
- DENTAL
CARE Regular
professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet's health.
We use modern and safe ultrasound to clean each tooth thoroughly
- above and below the gum line. Dental technicians polish teeth
to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque
buildup. Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and reduce
tooth sensitivity. A wax sealer is then applied to slow down plaque
from returning. Non-anesthetic cleanings are available for pets
that do not have dental problems more serious than tartar and
plaque, as well anesthetic dentistry for those who want to maintain
their pets' professional cleanings with the comfort of sleep.
-
NON ANESTHETIC DENTAL CLEANING New!
An alternative to anesthetic dental cleanings for pets with tartar
and plaque but no gum disease! Omni care provides non-anesthetic
dental cleanings on select Mondays of each month at Capistrano
Veterinary Clinic. The results are fantastic! Call for an appointment.
-
BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE Illness doesn't
always have a physical cause. We can help determine the cause
of such disorders as separation anxiety and obsessive behavior
in your pet, and then develop a treatment regimen for you. We
have many behavioral pamphlets available for you as well as access
to animal behavior pamphlets for professional help if needed.
-
BATHING AND CLIP-DOWNS Consider treating
your pet to a luxurious bath. Our modern bathing facility offers
your pet spa quality care. Grooming is important for maintaining
comfort and health of your pet's nails, skin and coat and for
eliminating skin parasites. Our cleansing baths remove dirt, debris
and pet odor - your pet will feel fresh and revitalized. If scratching
is a problem, our medicated baths contain soothing agents that
reduce the itching. All baths also include brush out, nail trim,
anal gland expression, and ear cleaning. The "Clip-downs" are
needed for long haired pets that have become so tangled that it
is impossible to brush out the mats, or some animals are more
comfortable in the summer with a lighter coat.
-
