Thank Your Pet...

Digatherm + LiteCure

Our Latest Medical Equipment
...only one in our area!

We absolutely love our our new Digital Thermal Imaging equipment. It can be a crucial and valuable “on the spot” visual tool in helping diagnose inflammation or lack of circulation and its exact location in the animals body.

This is an wonderful extension of what Kings Canyon Veterinary Foundation is all about, helping pets with the best equipment, so that they can have a healthier life.

- - -

We also have a therapeutic laser Companion CTS 15 watt, Class IV, made by LiteCure. This new equipment will help with senior pets, as well as some of our younger pet clients.

Delivery of the optimal therapeutic doses to damaged tissue is the key to effective results. Coat length, coat color, body type and skin pigmentation significantly affect the penetration of all therapy lasers. The Smart Coat™ Plus technology in our Companion Therapy Laser provides patient-specific protocols based on individual patient characterists. We personalize our patients treatments with Smart Coat™ Plus to achieve more consistent results.

As we always say:

Pet Care Requires A Good Foundation!

This is one of our most important holidays, and being that it is celebrated with lots of  fireworks, your pet is at risk of becoming seriously distressed and running away in panic. Because our pets hearing is so sensitive, the loud booms of fireworks can be extremely uncomfortable. The sudden burst of lights can also cause pets to become frightened. So, what can you do to help ensure the safety of your pet?

If your pet becomes lost, remember that you must visit the local shelters in person, as phone calls are not usually acceptable.

Be a best friend to your best friend ~ keep them safe!

Canine Flu

What Is Canine Flu?

The strain of virus that is spreading is H3N2 in the USA. It is a bird flu virus that has adapted to infect dogs. It was first detected in South Korea in 2007, according to the US Center for Disease Control (CDC), and affected both cats and dogs in China and Thailand before coming to the US in April 2015.

A lot of what you know about human flu, is also true for canine flu. It manifests in the form of a cough, runny nose, sneezing, and fever. It can range from no symptoms to severe infection resulting in pneumonia. It’s spread by coughing and sneezing.

To find out how you can protect your dog, we have provided some excellent sources:
