Services
Wellness Exam
Our preventive wellness exams detect early-stage diseases through comprehensive physical examinations and tailored screening protocols. Veterinarians assess dental health, weight management, and organ function while creating customized vaccination schedules. Annual exams for young animals and biannual visits for seniors help maintain optimal health through early intervention strategies that can extend pets' lifespans by up to two years.
ACL Knee Surgery
Dr. Allen's proprietary extracapsular technique uses autologous tissue for stable repairs without artificial implants. This cost-effective alternative to TPLO surgery achieves 90% functionality recovery within six weeks, with post-operative care including pain management and activity restriction. Over 200 successful procedures performed on dogs ranging from 10 to 200 pounds demonstrate our expertise in orthopedic veterinary medicine.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services address periodontal disease through ultrasonic scaling, fluoride treatments, and surgical extractions under monitored anesthesia. Pre-operative bloodwork ensures patient safety while post-operative care includes antibiotics and pain management. Our dental program prevents systemic infections that can affect vital organs, with treatment plans outlining all procedures and associated costs before commencement.
Parasite Control
We provide year-round protection against internal and external parasites through customized prevention programs. Services include fecal analysis for coccidia and worms, heartworm testing, and Lyme disease screening. Our protocols address zoonotic risks while offering environmental treatment strategies, with specialized programs for hunting cats and working dogs requiring quarterly deworming and tick prevention.
Senior Care
The Old Friend Care program offers comprehensive diagnostic panels for pets over eight years old, including blood chemistry, thyroid testing, and urinalysis. Early detection of organ dysfunction allows proactive treatment plans that can add years to pets' lives. Each assessment includes complimentary wellness services like nail trims and ear cleanings, with baseline data tracking for longitudinal health management.

Aside from the best service possible, the prices are so reasonable at Otter Lake/Countryside Vet. I couldn't be happier with the level of care and personal touch when with doctors and techs here. Always so pleasant and helpful, fast and efficient, and especially personable doctors/staff. Dr. Allen is my fav but I love everyone at OLVC! SO blessed to see how much they all love animals and love what they do. Best clinic ever!
