Janet graduated as a Veterinary Technologist from St. Lawrence College in 1995 and has been part of the Central Animal Hospital team since 2004.

We are proud to be able to provide the surgical services of board certified Veterinary Surgeon, Dr. Jitender Bhandal, here at Central Animal Hospital on a referral basis. Surgical services available include Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA) and Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) surgeries, fracture repairs and oncological surgeries.

Regular checkups and wellness exams are the best way to make sure your pet stays as healthy as possible. We start with a thorough history where we discuss with you the health of your pet. We want to know your concerns (if any) you have with your pet, any current medical conditions that he or she may have, as well as any medications or supplements you are currently giving.

Your pet's overall health greatly depends on the health of their teeth and gums. When we examine your pet's mouth, we are checking for gum disease, tartar, broken teeth, retained baby teeth, an abnormal bite and signs of pain. In most cases periodontal disease is a preventable disease.

We are happy to discuss all types of preventative oral health care, including brushing, oral rinses and specialized diets that really do help keep your pet's teeth clean!Poor dental hygiene can lead to gingivitis and plaque buildup over time. This can lead to cavities, gum recession, bacterial contamination, loose teeth and root exposure.
