Diagnostics
Diagnosing diseases in pets can include scraping the skin to look for parasites, a blood test to look for heartworm infection and diseases spread by ticks, listen to your pet's heart and lungs, feeling the abdomen for masses, evaluating the internal organs by blood tests, looking at ear wax, urine, or feces under the microscope, taking a sample of cells from a growth, or taking x-rays to look at bones and internal organs. At Turks & Caicos Veterinary Associates, we can do whatever is needed to find out what is ailing your pet!
Surgery
We have a dedicated surgery suite where we perform many types of surgeries. In addition to surgeries for our patients, we also do low-cost spays and neuters for TCSPCA and SNIP. It is our way of giving back to the community.
Vaccinations
Dogs and cats must receive regular vaccinations to protect them from diseases and keep them healthy. Pets that travel outside Turks & Caicos may need additional vaccines; we can help with all these travel needs!

Pharmacy
We carry the most common medications prescribed by our veterinarians, so you can start treatments for your pet quickly. We carry an assortment of heartworm preventatives (including an injection your dog only needs to get once a year) and flea/tick preventatives.
Dental Care
We have the equipment and expertise to take care of your pet's oral health. A "dental prophy" procedure includes cleaning and polishing the teeth, probing under the gums to look for bone loss and infection, and extracting of any diseased teeth. Dental x-rays are also available so we can evaluate tooth roots for problems.
"Cold" laser treatment
We use therapeutic laser treatment to reduce inflammation and speed healing. Most frequently we use it on arthritic joints, but it is also used on surgical incisions, hot spots, anal gland infections, and other wounds. There is no pain to the pet and they might even get to wear their own eye protection during the procedure!
