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?

Winter Pet Safety Tips

The cold weather has arrived and so have the holidays. While this time of year can be great fun for your pet, be sure your winter habits don't leave them out in the cold. Cold weather poses special risks for pets, such as running out of water (frozen over or power outages) and increased pain from arthritis in senior pets. Winter dangers aren't just about the cold temperatures and it is best if you are pet-prepared.

West Nile Virus

West Nile Virus and your pets:

"There has been an upsurge in human cases of West Nile virus infection locally. Dogs do not get West Nile but the mosquito vector doesn't know that. I am applying a product called Vectra 3-D to my three Terriers. The West Nile virus carrying mosquito which tries to bite one of my dogs will die and won't be able to bite me. Vectra 3-D kills fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and biting flies for 30 days." - Doc
