Dr.
Ulbrich has a particular interest in these
2 fields. Pets with cancer require special
care and can be successfully treated
with various methods. Chemotherapy
for our fellow friends has evolved dramatically over the last few years and can significantly improve
their quality of life.

Dentistry |
| |
|
Nearly 80% of dogs and cats have
some form of dental disease. Dental
problems can lead to severe health threats
such as systemic infections affecting
the lungs and heart.
Proper care is essential! Brushing
your pet's teeth, proper diet and
routine checks are important. Many pets require
a dental cleaning. Your
pet is lightly anaesthetized using isoflurane
gas and the teeth are ultrasonically scaled, then polished and sealed..

Stem Cell Therapy
A new and exciting procedure that can significantly help pets with osteoarthritis and some liver and joint problems! This therapy uses your pet's own, adult stem cells from it's own fat and there is no chance of rejection as there is with organ replacement. Vet Stem is the only veterinary stem cell therapy company that is backed by peer reviewed, approved, non biased studies for therapeutic use in animals. Vet Stem is also going to start a banking service, whereby cells can be harvested during routine procedures, on younger animals, before the need arises and avoids additional anesthetic procedures when the pet is older, which is the most likely time for a pet to need therapy. Dr. MacPhail and Dr Ulbrich have both been certified with Vet Stem to perform these procedures since January of 2010.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy a sterile, pain-free, surgery free, drug free treatment which is used to treat a variety of injuries, wounds, surgical incisions, neurological conditions, arthritis, and other painful conditions. Whether your pet is recovering from trauma, injury or surgery, healing from wounds, or simply aging, your companion may benefit from this incredible new technology.
Laser therapy stimulates the body to heal from within. Non-thermal photons of light are administered to the body and absorbed by the injured cells. The cells are then stimulated and respond with a higher rate of metabolism. This results in increased circulation from the body, an anti-inflammatory reaction, relief from pain and an acceleration of the healing process.
