Riverside Animal Clinic Offers free vaccines for Life
Dr. Jim Carlson, owner of Riverside Animal Clinic, is announcing a new program for
pet owners, Free Vaccines for Life. “The purpose of the program is to focus on prevention and wellness through a good, comprehensive exam every year. Vaccination isn’t
the only way to prevent disease. I want to make sure your pet is completely healthy
and setting aside this dedicated time every year will do a better job than just vaccine
alone,” said Dr. Carlson.
While owners will be required to pay a one time enrollment fee of $49 and for the regular wellness exam, the program saves a significant amount of money over the course
of your pet’s life by offering two core vaccines free. With each free vaccine, you save
about $20-$22.
For dogs and cats, the free vaccines are the rabies and distemper combo. Other noncore vaccines may be prescribed but are offered at 10% off and enrollments of other
pets are also offered at a 10% discount. Non-core vaccines include: lepto, Lyme, feline
leukemia & bordetella. County license fees are not included.
Contracts are available in the office. It’s a simple deal but to stay in the program you do
have to return for your annual wellness visit every year. There is a 30 day grace period
and if you miss it, you will need to re-enroll your pets in the Free Vaccines for Life program at Riverside. No other exams count. This is dedicated time we set
aside to focus on current health, write your prescriptions for the year and
DENTAL CARE IMPROVES OVERALL HEALTH AND LONGEVITY

your pet’s life by up to four years. We know you want your fur
baby around as long as possible so please see our offer. If you don’t know
about the status of your pet’s oral health, please request a free peek at your
pet’s teeth with our long time assistants Nancy and Emily. All extractions are
performed by one of our veterinarians for quality assurance and the best outcome for your pet. Even though you might often consider dental disease a
problem for those with “DOGGIE BREATH”, cats need

NEW THERAPEUTIC LASER

and speeds recovery. The MLS Therapy Laser penetrates your pets tissue up to 3-4 centimeters.
We are now offering a way to pre
-order your pet’s medications
and prescriptions for the year.
You tell us what you want and
when you’ll need it on a yearly
schedule and we’ll keep it within
our updated practice software
system.
We will work off the planned orders the week prior to your
scheduled date and have the
product available for you on the
selected date.
Please let Mrs. Carlson know of
any changes you want to make in
the system by sending an email
to : [email protected] or
calling Mrs. Carlson’s cell directly at (937) 408-8603 or leave a
message at the office.
As the light therapy works, it drives out inflammation
and also offers an analgesic effect. We offer laser therapy for pain relief and also on surgery incisions and
declaw patients. If your pet has the following conditions, laser surgery has been shown to help: arthritis,
tendonitis, wounds, inflamed ears, continuous areas of
licking, hip dysplasia, disc disease, lameness and sinusGoggles required when the laser is in use!
itis.
In our holistic equine patients, we have
recently used the laser to reduce swelling at spur marks, in tender hocks and
legs and throughout the back due to
saddle soreness. There is also an acupuncture tip with the laser which helps
our team directly focus light therapy
along the acupuncture channel.
