General Surgery
If an invasive procedure is required, it will be handled and monitored
by a skilled team using the best equipment and instrumentation. We use
a gas anesthetic, sevoflurane, which is used on humans and is the
safest method available.
|
|
Laser Surgery
Laser surgery is also another option that delivers a similar result to
the traditional method. This process causes no bleeding, little, if
any, pain and rarely requires post-operative care. Mandarin Veterinary
Clinic was the first to offer laser surgery in the northeast Florida
area. We have been practicing laser surgery since 1997.

Radiographs
With our state-of-the-art equipment, we are able to perform and read
radiographs within 12 hours. And, we have a board-certified radiologist
on staff in case there are any questions.

capability to properly assess your pet's condition and, in doing so,

instantly. We have the most advanced radiology and cardiology equipment
available and we offer several pre-operative tests to determine the
proper treatment for your pet.

Pharmacy

is very little waiting time for any prescription refills.

Preventive health care
The best way to treat medical problems is to prevent them. Be sure to
schedule bi-annual check-ups for your pet along with regular
vaccinations and screenings for intestinal worms and heartworms.
Inquire about our Health Maintenance Plans that make these services
more affordable. We also emphasize affordable wellness blood panels to
ensure your pet’s health.

a day. Just dial (904) 268-8880 and your call will be answered

Vaccinations
We pledge to do our best to protect your pet against contagious
diseases. We tailor individual vaccination programs to your particular
pet’s needs, including a three-year vaccination program for those
eligible.

Dermatology
When it comes to caring for your pet's skin, we offer medical tests and
treatments for allergies, hormonal and thyroid disorders, as well as
other complications. We can also provide intradermal skin testing for
those with uncontrollable allergies.

Training
Develop a closer bond with your dog and earn his or her respect through
Mandarin Veterinary Clinic's personalized behavioral and obedience
training programs. You will teach your dog to behave properly, walk on
a leash, sit, lay down or stay, all at your command.
For more advanced training needs, we will refer you to John Morris of
Personalized Dog Training. John has been a trainer since 1978 and
provides training ranging from basic obedience to behavioral
counseling. Visit John's website at www.pdt4dogs.com.

Microchipping
We
provide Avid microchip implant technology that registers your pet and
reduces its chances of being lost. Pets retrieved by the Jacksonville
Humane Society and County Pound are scanned for information and quickly
returned to their owners. Mandarin Veterinary Clinic also participates
in many programs designed to help with the cost of neutering or spaying
pets adopted from animal shelters. Please ask us for more information.
|
|
Nutrition counseling
We can prescribe special diets to help treat skin, heart, kidney, liver
and other intestinal diseases. If your pet's weight is a concern, we
will create a low-calorie diet with our complete line of Hill's
Prescription and Science Diet foods.
|
|
Behavioral counseling
We recognize that all pets are not born perfect. If you are having a
behavior issue with your pet, please call us so we can help. You don’t
have to live with your pet’s poor behavior – it can be changed with
proper training in understanding the dog/cat mind.
|
|
House calls
We offer this service for our clients under special circumstances. Call
us for information. (904) 268-8880
|
|
Boarding
We offer medically supervised boarding, with plenty of hugs and kisses
from our caring and watchful staff. Leaving your pet in the care of
someone else no longer needs to be a traumatic experience. At Mandarin
Veterinary Clinic, your pet will remain comfortable in our
air-conditioned facility where dogs and cats never co-mingle. Our
canine visitors enjoy at least three exercise sessions each day in our
enclosed outdoor yard. Cats spend at least two sessions daily at the
Kitty TV (a huge picture window featuring our outdoor squirrels playing
in the trees). Throughout their stay, a veterinarian monitors each pet
to ensure proper weight balance, eating habits and bowel movements. And
(best of all) each pet receives a bath as a "welcome home" treat.
Please join us for a tour of the facility so you can see for yourself
that a stay at Mandarin Veterinary Clinic is as much of a vacation for
your pet as it is for you.
