We Specialize In
24/7 Emergency Veterinary Care
You are not alone when your pet is in need. Your family veterinarian and Advanced Veterinary Care (AVC) are here to help. AVC is a specialty referral practice providing sophisticated emergency care, trauma management, surgery, cardiology, and oncology referral services.
Quality medical care begins with your family veterinarian. From time to time, your doctor may ask AVC to be a part of the medical team which cares for your pet, and they will refer you to AVC. By referring you to us when your pet is ill or injured, your doctor demonstrates confidence in our ability to help you through a difficult and emotional time.
AVC is always available to you for emergencies at those times your family veterinarian is closed. Should you ever find yourself in need of emergency services, you may walk into AVC at any time, day or night, without an appointment. We understand the worry and stress that can result from your pet’s illness or injury, and we will do our very best to ensure that you both are provided with the compassion and quality care you deserve.
Our Veterinary Services
Emergency Care
As pet parents, we dread the thought of our fur-children ever getting sick enough to require emergency care. Unfortunately, accidents and illnesses do occur, so our exceptional emergency care teams are here to help in your time of need.
Surgery
Surgery covers a vast sub-sect of veterinary medicine, from routine spay and neuter to complex orthopedic and soft tissue procedures. Within our Thrive Pet Healthcare network, you can access surgical services on both the primary care and specialty level so whatever your pet’s surgical needs, our trusted veterinarians and surgical specialists are here for you.
Veterinary Oncology
Veterinary oncology teams within our Thrive Pet Healthcare community work closely with referring and primary care veterinarians to provide advanced cancer treatment for pets. Your pet’s oncology team can perform a thorough evaluation, utilizing state-of-the-art diagnostics to gain a deep understanding of the disease behavior. From there, a personalized treatment plan will be determined to treat or manage your pet’s cancer.
Veterinary Orthopedics
Our community’s outstanding orthopedic veterinarians and surgeons use breakthrough research within the field to implement advanced therapies, such as CrCL surgeries like TPLO surgery, fracture repair, and innovative devices. These are all designed to help improve or conserve your pet’s mobility following traumatic accident, illness, or age-related condition.
Pet owners commonly refer to CrCL surgery as an ACL surgery, however CrCL surgery is the medically accurate term. ACL surgery is the human equivalent treatment.
CrCL Surgery (Cranial Cruciate Ligament)
A common form of cruciate or knee surgery is TPLO surgery. Your pet’s orthopedic veterinarian will be able to help decide which type of CrCL surgery is ideal for your pet. It's important to note that these surgeries are commonly referred to by pet owners as ACL surgery, however CrCL surgery is the medically accurate term. ACL surgery is the human equivalent treatment.
TPLO Surgery (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy)
TPLO surgery changes the angle between the thigh bone and the shin bone. The goal is to lessen how much the tibia shifts forward during a stride and it is achieved through an incision, rotation of the tibia, and then insertion of a bone plate. TPLO surgery helps create a stifle (knee) that is stable without the torn cruciate ligament. The medial meniscus is also evaluated at the time of surgery and if torn removed. At times, a releasing incision of the meniscus is done to help prevent a future tear.
