Going on year three with my dog Duke at Summer Street, and I can’t say enough how great the staff and the Doctors are with my dog, everyone there takes the time to listen to their pet owners and are always gentle, would not think of going anywhere else for my Duke and it’s well over a forty minute drive, but worth every mile !!

Preventive Care

Dental Care
Dental Examination: Your pet’s dental health is important to their overall wellbeing. Oral disease is very common in animals, and the resulting infection can cause tooth loss and mouth pain, as well as damage internal organs. A complete dental exam along with a thorough cleaning is the best way to prevent oral problems.
Vaccination
A: As with anyone, please call us right away to schedule your appointment. Your referring veterinarian might also take care of this for you. We will also request that your regular/referring vet emails us any applicable medical records in regards to the issue your pet is being seen for along with current vaccination history. This helps our doctors and staff to be as prepared as possible for you and your pet’s arrival.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Nutritional Counseling
Other important aspects of pet wellness care include vaccinations, screening for intestinal parasites, weight management, and nutritional assessment and planning. Your vet will also advise you on a program you can follow at home to keep your pet at the peak of health.
Comprehensive Examination
We work hard to bring the very best care to your pets- that’s why we are so proud to be accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). Through the education, compassion, and love our staff has for all pets, you can trust that your pet is in great hands when you and your furry family members come to our clinic, whether it be for an annual exam, illness, hospitalization, or surgery. Learn more about AAHA.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
When health problems are identified, a medical plan will be outlined to evaluate the problems in depth. If your pet appears to be healthy enough for routine preventive care, your veterinarian will discuss which immunizations are advised, as well as parasite prevention including heartworm disease, intestinal parasites, and ectoparasites (fleas, ticks, etc.). Annual age-appropriate lab tests, testing for heartworm and/or tick-borne diseases, and fecal tests for parasites may also be recommended for your pet. Finally, your pet’s nutrition, diet, and exercise routines can be assessed and optimized to help your pet be in best physical condition for their lifestyle and age. Remember, keeping up with preventive care for your pet is the best way to keep your pet happy and healthy for life.
Pain Management
After receiving his degree, Dr. Van Zee moved to Burlington and began to practice at Summer Street Animal Clinic, where his professional interests include surgery – both orthopedic and soft tissue, anesthesia and pain control.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Physical Examination: Your pet should have a complete physical exam at least once a year. Your vet will assess the condition of all parts of your pet’s body, inside and out, including their eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, internal organs, joints and bones, paws and claws, and skin and coat. They’ll also test their blood pressure and respiration.

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
SNAP tests: point-of-care “snap” tests are available for certain infectious diseases such as Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, Canine Parvovirus, Giardia, and Leptospirosis.
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Feline Retro Virus Treatment

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
These conditions will start to become more prevalent as your pet gets older. For this reason, we recommend twice-yearly veterinary visits for pets over 7 years of age. Your aging pet may be showing early signs of osteoarthritis such as stiffness after rest or play, difficulty going up or downstairs, and reduced activity. Early intervention with joint supplements and prescription arthritis medications when indicated, along with modified nutrition and exercise plans, can greatly improve your pet’s comfort and mobility. Likewise, performing annual screening lab work on your older pet can help identify early stages of medical problems that might go unrecognized, and progress significantly without treatment.
Heart Disease Treatment
Heartworm is another important endoparasite, but one which is not zoonotic. Heartworm infections result from pets being bitten by infected mosquitos. The larval form of the heartworm travels through the bloodstream to the heart where it develops into an adult. The adult heartworms live in the right side of the heart and left untreated, result in progressive heart failure and death. In initial stages of heartworm disease, pets may be asymptomatic. As the condition progresses, symptoms may evolve including a cough and exercise intolerance in dogs, and vomiting/coughing in cats. Treatment of heartworm disease can be very risky for the pet, and very costly.
Kidney Disease Treatment
Any pre-surgical testing that is recommended – baseline laboratory testing is beneficial so that there are no surprises on surgery day. Knowing that your pet has normal blood test results can help prevent anesthetic complications or surgical complications such as excessive bleeding, which can occur when patients have low platelet counts or abnormal clotting. When there is liver or kidney disease, this may affect the choices of anesthetic drugs recommended by your veterinarian, to prevent anesthetic complications and promote a smooth anesthetic recovery.

Wound and Fracture Care
Depends. If your pet is scheduled for a morning procedure, then they are typically ready to go home that same afternoon. If they are scheduled for an afternoon procedure, you should plan for them to spend the night with us. There are always exceptions, with some of them including more involved surgeries like orthopedic surgery (TPLO, patella luxation, extracapsular…) or fracture repairs- even if they are done in the morning, you should plan for them to stay the night with us. For declaws, front declaws stay with us overnight for one night; all 4-declaws stay two nights with us.
Poisoning Treatment

Veterinary Surgery
At some point in your pet’s life, they may need a surgical procedure. Whether your pet is having an elective surgery such as spay or neuter, or an emergency surgery for intestinal obstruction, you can rest assured that our staff will provide the very best care possible for your pet.
Laser Surgery
Declawing
A: Depends. If your pet is scheduled for a morning procedure, then they are typically ready to go home that same afternoon. If they are scheduled for an afternoon procedure, you should plan for them to spend the night with us.

For declaws, front declaws stay with us overnight for one night; all 4-declaws stay two nights with us.
Spaying and Neutering
Spay And Neuter: Having your pet spayed or neutered will prevent unwanted litter, and also alleviate problematic behaviors such as urinating in the house to mark territory and screeching and howling during the heat cycle.

Laboratory Services
Laboratory testing for baseline blood counts and organ function tests, or infectious disease. Blood and/or urine samples may be collected from your pet, for point-of-care testing, or reference lab tests. Point-of-care tests are those tests that are done on-site in our hospital so as to be able to determine results and make treatment recommendations in the most timely fashion possible. In other cases, lab samples may need to be sent off to off-site laboratories (reference laboratories) – when the test cannot be performed with in-hospital lab equipment, or when the test results are not needed urgently.
X-Ray
Dental Radiology
At Summer Street Animal Clinic, we cannot stress the importance of oral health with pets as it can add years to their lives. We pride ourselves on offering high-level dental care for our patients, which includes dental radiography. This allows us to go that one step further and identify any dental issues that aren’t visible from the surface.
