Dentistry
Dental care is vital to the overall health of any pet. Dental disease can lead to health issues with the heart, liver, and kidneys and has the potential to seep into your pet’s bloodstream. In fact, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats over three years of age suffer from some form of dental disease, making it the most common pet health issue among our pet population.

Vaccinations
At Lodi Veterinary Hospital in Lodi, CA, we believe that one of the most important aspects of caring for your pet's health is vaccinating him or her against possible diseases. There are a variety of diseases which affect our pets, and other animals, so proper vaccination is vital to protecting them from many types of illnesses.
DOGS-
DAP: (Distemper, Adenovirus, Parvovirus)
Distemper: A nervous system disease that can cause respiratory signs and neurological problems like seizures. It is easily spread and may be deadly.
Adenovirus: Canine Adenovirus causes a potentially fatal liver disease in dogs. (Infectious Canine Hepatitis). Commonly shows up as a respiratory infection.
Parvovirus: A gastrointestinal disease that is highly contagious and is spread through infected fecal material. It's a very hardy virus that can survive in the environment for months to years. It can lead to shock and death.
Rabies: This is a fatal disease of all mammals including dogs, cats, livestock and humans. Infected wildlife and unvaccinated animals are the source of this virus. Because rabies is a significant health hazard, it is extremely important to vaccinate your pet.
Bordetella: A contagious respiratory disease that lead to a dry hacking cough. Dogs at the greatest risk are those that come into contact with other dogs at boarding facilities, dog shows, parks or pet stores.
Leptospirosis: Lepto is a serious bacterial disease of mammals such as dogs and humans. Lepto bacteria are carried by wildlife, rodents and livestock, and are shed in the urine of infected animals. While many organs can be infected the liver and kidneys are the most frequently affected.
CATS-
RCP: (Rhino, Calici, Panleukopenia):
Rhinotracheitis (feline herpesvirus{FHV}): Herpes is the most common upper respiratory infection in cats. Even if successfully treated, FHV can lead to lifelong infection.
Feline Calicivirus (FCV): A virus that affects the feline upper respiratory system and accounts for approximately 40% of all respiratory diseases in cats. Even if successfully treated, cats infected with FCV can become chronic virus carriers with lifelong clinical signs of sneezing and runny eyes.
Panleukopenia (feline distemper): Panleukopenia or feline distemper is a widespread, often fatal disease. Since most cats are likely to be exposed to panleukopenia in their lifetime, vaccination against this illness is important.
Rabies: This is a fatal disease of all mammals including dogs, cats, livestock and humans. Infected wildlife and unvaccinated animals are the source of this virus. Because rabies is a significant health hazard, it is extremely important to vaccinate your pet.
Non-Core Vaccinations-
DOGS-
Rattlesnake: Rattlesnake bites can be deadly, especially since they often happen out on hikes, and far away from help. This vaccination, while it does not prevent bites or guarantee survival from a bite, it does potentially. If you often hike on trails known for rattlesnakes, this is a highly recommended vaccination.
CATS-
Leukemia (FeLV): This viral disease attacks the immune system and leaves the cat vulnerable to a host of secondary infections. Because transmission occurs through contact with other cats, those cats that are allowed to roam outdoors are particularly at risk.
Wellness Exams
At Lodi Veterinary Hospital in Lodi, CA, we believe that regular checkups and wellness exams are critical to your pets' well-being. These wellness exams give us a chance to evaluate the overall health of your pet while also giving us a baseline for their unique bodies and tendencies.
Nutritional Counseling
Obesity is a common problem among pets, as it can be easy to overfeed a cute dog or cat that knows how to beg. Being overweight is a serious problem for animals, and can cause real health problems. With proper diet and exercise, all pets should be able to meet their dietary needs and stay within a healthy weight range.
Behavior Management

However, through behavioral consultations we can correct unwanted behaviors and enrich both your life and your pets' life.

Parasite Prevention
The idea of your pet being infested with parasites is a disturbing thought, but it's also a medical issue that can have serious consequences if not properly dealt with or prevented. Parasites pose a variety of health issues for our pets, who can be very susceptible to certain parasites depending on age, region, and other factors.
