Diagnostic Services
Our in-house laboratory and digital imaging capabilities enable rapid diagnosis of feline health conditions. We perform complete blood counts, biochemistry panels, and urinalysis while offering digital radiography for internal organ assessment. These diagnostic tools help identify illnesses in their earliest stages when treatment is most effective.
Surgical Services
We perform spay/neuter procedures and soft tissue surgeries using advanced anesthetic monitoring. Pre-surgical bloodwork ensures patient safety while intraoperative care includes IV fluids and continuous vital monitoring. Post-operative instructions include pain management plans and follow-up calls to monitor recovery progress.
Dentistry
Our dental services include professional cleanings, digital dental radiography, and tooth extractions. We address periodontal disease and oral tumors while providing preventive care education. Early dental intervention helps prevent systemic health issues associated with oral bacteria in cats.
Senior Wellness
We recommend biannual exams for cats aged 7+ to monitor age-related changes. Our senior wellness program includes blood pressure monitoring, thyroid testing, and urinalysis. Early detection of kidney disease, diabetes, and arthritis allows for timely intervention to maintain quality of life.
Behavioral Consultation
We address common feline behavior issues like inappropriate elimination and scratching. Our consultations focus on understanding environmental stressors and implementing enrichment strategies. Behavioral modifications are tailored to each cat's specific needs and household dynamics.

Arlington Cat Clinic is the best place for cat care. It's a very friendly place with cats greeting you when you come in and then saying goodbye when you leave. The staff is great and very patient. I feel the staff takes very good care of my Sophia.

The entire staff at Arlington Cat Clinic is friendly, helpful, and caring. The service my kitty has received is fantastic. The doctors and nurses really care about the health of your cat and spend time explaining things to you. They are thoughtful and thorough. Very professional and compassionate. They've gone above and beyond my expectations.

I just brought my 8 1/2 week old kittens (Murphy and Lacie) to the Arlington Cat Clinic. Its a great place! Robin was very knowledgeable and gave me so many great ideas and things to watch out for with babies their age. We got a boy and girl from the same litter so we have our hands full. ACC's Kitten Package is great. It covers all the shots and exams. I would recommend this cat clinic to everyone. It's also very nice because they are cats only! We are going to have a long partnership!

I have been taking my cat here for years. This time in, my cat had some issues that the Dr. explained in a 2 minute voicemail on her day off! She also called the next day to check on my cat. Dr. Vuchovich is a kind and knowledgeable vet. I wish I could find a people Dr. as good.
