Services
Preventative Medicine
Our preventative medicine program focuses on early disease detection through regular wellness exams, vaccinations, and diagnostic testing. We recommend bi-annual checkups for pets over seven years old to monitor age-related changes. Our comprehensive approach includes dietary assessments, parasite prevention, and tailored vaccination schedules to maintain optimal health and reduce long-term medical costs.
Integrative Medicine
Integrative medicine combines traditional Chinese veterinary practices with modern diagnostics and treatments. Services include acupuncture for pain management, herbal medicine for chronic conditions, and food therapy tailored to individual health needs. This approach emphasizes gradual healing with minimal side effects while maintaining evidence-based medical standards through ongoing research and collaboration with conventional veterinary practices.
Diagnostic Services
Our diagnostic capabilities include in-house laboratory equipment, digital radiography, and microscopy for rapid assessment of pet health. We partner with Idexx Laboratories for advanced testing while maintaining physical exam protocols as the foundation for accurate diagnosis. Future plans include mobile ultrasound services to enhance internal organ evaluation and cardiac assessments.
End of Life Care
We provide quality-of-life assessments and euthanasia services with emphasis on dignity and comfort for pets and owners. Our staff guides clients through aftercare options including private cremation while offering sedation protocols to ensure peaceful transitions. We recommend pre-arranged consultations for terminal conditions to develop personalized care plans that respect both pet needs and owner preferences.
Pharmacy
Our on-site pharmacy stocks essential medications, preventatives, and supplements for immediate treatment needs. We honor prescription requests from other veterinarians while advising clients on reputable online pharmacy options. Pricing adjustments reflect distributor costs, though we maintain partnerships with Chewy to help reduce client expenses through direct medication fulfillment.

I love this vet. They are the nicest people and the doctor was amazing and sweet. The practice is going through some changes do to the the doctors supper passing. So sad, she was an amazing person. They are using other doctors to fill in until they find a new doctor to fill some pretty big shoes.

I adopted my beagle Lily when she was 3 yrs old. Her previous owner used Buxmont Vet, so i decided to continue with them. Lily is now 14yrs. old and still with Buxmont vet. The first time i walked in they greeted her with such joy. I knew then we were staying. They do care and really seem to enjoy what they do. Prices aren't too bad either.
