Happy Pets Make Happy Owners!

RICHARD LUSSIER2024-04-16Had to put my 15 year old Boston Terrier to sleep. He was blind and had cancer and could no longer walk. They treated him with respect and concern. I tried to be strong but busted out crying. I loved that dog.

Dominic Greer2024-04-01I love this clinic! My Suga loves it as well. She never want to leave the house unless it to go running and she definitely hate cars. But if I say we going to see Dr. Debes she is up and running. She looses herself in excitement just waiting on the dr to come in.
Stephanie Key2024-04-01There is absolutely no one that takes care of my fur babies better than Dr. Henson and Dr. Baer. I am very attentive and very protective about our four dogs. I would not take them anywhere else. They get lots of attention and love here. The up front staff is very friendly. We just love Shelby! ❤️ It is a true plus that they have late hours during the week and Saturday appointments, too. Even when we have an emergency, we can usually go to our vet, who is open late. Grooming and daycare available...truly a "one stop shop" for everything to puppies need. If you're looking for a great vet, this is the place to go!

Pain Management
If your pet shows signs of pain, bringing them to the clinic as soon as possible is crucial. Pain often indicates an underlying illness or injury that requires diagnosis and treatment to minimize your pet’s discomfort.
Fortunately, the veterinary field is constantly evolving, with new drugs, treatments, and therapies emerging to provide the best possible care for your pet.
Spaying and Neutering
Spaying and neutering are essential procedures for helping your pet live a long and healthy life. They not only prevent unwanted litters but also significantly reduce the risk of serious diseases like certain cancers in both male and female pets.
Additionally, spaying and neutering can help alleviate behavioral problems, promoting a calmer and more manageable companion.
At Walnut Grove Animal Clinic in Memphis, our dedicated veterinarians provide expert spay and neuter services with high-quality care throughout the procedure, ensuring your pet’s well-being.
Dental Care
Just like us, pets rely on clean teeth and healthy gums for overall well-being.
Unfortunately, they can’t brush their own teeth, leaving them susceptible to undetected oral infections and potential health complications like kidney, heart, and liver damage.
At Walnut Grove Animal Clinic, our experienced veterinarians offer comprehensive veterinary dental care in Memphis, from thorough oral exams to professional dental cleanings. Ensure your pet’s long-term health and happiness – schedule their dental appointment with Walnut Grove Animal Clinic today.
Grooming
Regular grooming, including baths, nail trims, ear cleanings, and anal gland expression, keeps your pet’s coat healthy and shiny while promoting good skin health.
Here at Walnut Grove Animal Clinic, our talented and experienced full-service groomers are available full-time to pamper your dog or cat.
Puppy and Kitten Care
Our dedicated veterinarians provide comprehensive services like vaccinations, preventive care, and nutritional counseling, all designed to nurture your pet’s early development.
We believe in expert guidance and compassionate care to ensure your furry friend starts life healthy and happy.
Surgical Care
Walnut Grove’s team of highly skilled and experienced surgeons can handle a wide range of general surgeries.
This includes routine procedures like spays, neuters, and declaws, as well as more complex surgeries like mass removals, exploratories, and wound repair. They’re also equipped to perform most orthopedic surgeries, from ACL repairs and hip procedures to fixing bone fractures.
Your pet’s safety is our top priority during any surgery that requires anesthesia. We take every precaution to minimize risks, including pre-anesthetic blood work, intravenous (IV) catheter placement, and fluid therapy throughout the procedure.
Modern anesthesia combined with advanced monitoring equipment and dedicated assistants who constantly watch over your pet during surgery are all part of this commitment to a safe outcome. We continue this close monitoring attentively as your pet recovers from surgery as well.
Wellness Exams
Our priority is keeping your pet healthy and happy for years to come. We believe prevention is key, and that’s why we recommend regular checkups by our veterinarians. These exams are crucial for catching potential problems early, before they become more serious. Remember, pets age much faster than humans – one year for them is roughly equivalent to seven for us. So, scheduling annual or semi-annual visits depending on your pet’s age is vital for their long-term wellbeing.
For a comprehensive and cost-effective approach to pet wellness, consider our annual programs designed specifically for dogs and cats. These programs include a thorough physical exam by a doctor, all necessary vaccinations, screenings like urinalysis and bloodwork, and parasite testing – heartworm for dogs and FeLV/FIV for cats. By enrolling in one of these programs, you’re ensuring your furry friend receives the best preventive care available.
Diagnostic Testing
Walnut Grove Animal Clinic utilizes a full spectrum of diagnostic tools to pinpoint the cause of your pet’s illness.
This includes X-rays, ultrasounds, microscopic examinations, and in-house lab analysis of most blood, fecal, and urine samples. This comprehensive approach allows our veterinarians to gather crucial information to identify the underlying disease or condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your furry friend.
Internal Medicine
If you recognize signs of pain in your pet, please schedule an exam and diagnostics with our doctors!
Our veterinarians use a comprehensive approach, combining a detailed physical examination with advanced tools like X-rays, ultrasounds, EKGs, and lab tests (blood work, urinalysis, cytology) to pinpoint the cause. With all the necessary equipment on-site, Walnut Grove is well-equipped to provide a diagnosis for most pet health concerns.
Senior Care
Similar to humans, animals need more attention as they get older. Since they age much faster than us, vets have a limited window to address any health issues that arise.
Untreated conditions, like heart problems, kidney failure, or arthritis, can become severe if left undiagnosed. Consequently, regular checkups and blood tests are even more crucial for senior pets. Typically, most pets are considered seniors around the age of 7, though larger breeds may enter their golden years earlier.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations are an easy and inexpensive way to keep your pet happy and healthy throughout their life.
They prevent serious diseases and our team of veterinarians at Walnut Grove Animal Clinic will create a personalized vaccine schedule based on your pet’s lifestyle to ensure their long-term well-being. We believe vaccinations are a gift of good health that helps your pet thrive at every stage of life.
