All pets need to have their teeth examined at least once annually, and most pets also need to have their teeth cleaned.
- VaccinationWhen someone makes the decision to own a pet, this comes with a tremendous amount of responsibility. It is important for every pet to receive regular care from a trained veterinarian. This will give the veterinary team a chance to make sure the animal is growing and developing appropriately. One of the topics that will be discussed at these visits is that of vaccinations. This is an important part of making sure that all dogs stay healthy. The team from Twin Peaks Veterinary Center is here to help everyone in the Tucson Arizona area understand why vaccines are so important.
- Behavioral CounselingWellness exams are an important part of your pet’s preventative care. Preventative vet care is the best way to keep your pet in good health through the years. A good preventative care program will include regular exams, vaccinations, dental exams and cleaning, parasite control and nutrition and behavioral counseling. At Twin Peaks Veterinary Center, we care for every aspect of your pet’s health. Your pet’s health, welfare, and happiness are our primary concern when he is under our care.
- Nutritional CounselingRBG was named after Ruth Bader Ginsberg though her alter ego “Really Big Girl” remained. She joined the Twin Peaks Family as an adoption from The Hermitage in 2018. Affectionately referred to as “Mom”, her interests at Twin Peaks included tasties, napping, sitting on her cardboard box, and alarming out her office roommate Cynthia with her horrendous bowel movements. She also enjoyed trips to the park when she wasn’t commanding Dr. Miller’s attention to be fed, hence why her weight loss program had taken a back seat. RBG crossed the Rainbow Bridge in July 2022.

This is particularly dangerous if the animal is exhibiting signs of lethargy and loss of appetite.
- Diarrhea Treatment
- Skin Condition and Allergy TreatmentSkin problems in pets cause a lot of concern among owners — and, of course, a lot of misery for the pets. If your favorite animal is experiencing discomfort or showing clear signs of skin abnormalities, you want to get that problem looked at and dealt with as early as possible to prevent possible complications. Here at Twin Peaks Veterinary Center in Tucson AZ, we know how to identify those distressing pet skin problems and get them under control so your pet can enjoy a happier everyday life.

- Urinary Tract Infection TreatmentJust like keeping humans hydrated, keeping your pets hydrated protects their health. The body needs water to function properly, and if your pet isn’t getting enough water, they are at risk of health problems, including urinary tract infections and other serious conditions. If your pet spends time outside and isn’t hydrated properly, your pet may be at risk for heatstroke, which can have very serious consequences.
- Diabetes Treatment
- Heart Disease TreatmentDuring your pet’s regular veterinary exam we check for a range of conditions. Some of these conditions include flea and tick-related illnesses, chronic conditions and weight problems. Younger pets are vulnerable to weight problems and common illnesses, while older pets are at risk for chronic conditions and serious diseases like diabetes, cancer and heart disease. We recommend bringing your pet in annually for a veterinary exam to ensure that your pet is not suffering from any of these problems.

- Poisoning Treatment
- Veterinary SurgeryThere are a few common reasons why someone might be told that their pet is going to need surgery. At the Twin Peaks Veterinary Center, one of the common conditions we see is an injury. In some cases, the bone might be displaced from its normal anatomic location. In this situation, animal surgery will be needed to put it back together. In other cases, someone might have a pet that has ingested something that isn’t passing through the digestive tract. In this scenario, surgery will be needed to take it out. Finally, some pets have tumors that need to be removed using the experience of a trained surgeon. When it comes time for the operation, a few steps are going to unfold.
- Spaying and NeuteringSpay and Neuter – You probably already know that spaying and neutering helps prevent pet pregnancies, which keeps unwanted pets off the streets of our community. But did you know that spaying and neutering your pet can help protect your pet from a variety of reproductive system problems, like cancer? Spaying and neutering can also help improve your pet’s behavior and can improve your relationship with your pet. Pets who are spayed or neutered often live longer and enjoy better quality of life.
