Rotterdam and Schenectady, NY
Comprehensive Care for Your Pet’s Health, Comfort, and Well-being
At Companion Animal Medical Center, we offer a full range of veterinary services designed to support your pet at every life stage. From preventive care and diagnostics to surgery, dental care, pain management, and senior support, our team delivers attentive, personalized care that helps pets live healthier, happier lives.

Wellness and Sick Exams
We provide thorough wellness and medical exams to support your pet’s health at every stage of life. Wellness visits focus on full physical evaluations, vaccination planning, parasite prevention, nutrition, weight, and lifestyle needs, helping us detect concerns early and keep your pet feeling their best. When your pet is not feeling well, our sick exams allow us to investigate symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, skin or ear issues, appetite changes, coughing, or changes in behavior. Early diagnosis and clear recommendations help us act quickly and improve comfort and recovery.

Vaccinations
Vaccinations play a key role in protecting your pet from preventable diseases. We follow current veterinary guidelines to create personalized vaccination plans tailored to your pet’s age, health, lifestyle, and risk of exposure. By reviewing your pet’s needs at each visit, we make sure they receive the right protection at the right time without unnecessary vaccinations. Our goal is to support strong immunity while keeping your pet healthy and safe throughout every life stage.

Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that supports healing and pain relief by reducing inflammation and improving circulation. Many pets benefit from this therapy after surgery, injury, or during the management of chronic conditions such as arthritis. Sessions are quick, comfortable, and well-tolerated, making laser therapy a valuable addition to both short-term recovery and long-term pain management. Our team will help determine whether this treatment is a good fit for your pet’s individual needs.

Ultrasonography
Ultrasound imaging gives us a safe and detailed look at your pet’s internal organs in real time, allowing us to diagnose many conditions with accuracy and confidence. This technology is especially helpful when evaluating the abdomen, monitoring internal changes, or guiding treatment plans. Because ultrasound does not require sedation for most pets, it offers a stress-free way to gather important diagnostic information. The images we capture help us make informed decisions and support your pet’s health with clarity.

Digital Radiography
Digital X-rays provide high-quality images that help us examine bones, joints, lungs, and internal structures quickly and effectively. This tool is essential for identifying fractures, growths, heart and lung conditions, and many other concerns. Digital imaging allows for fast results, low radiation exposure, and the ability to share images easily when needed. With this technology available in-house, we can diagnose issues promptly and begin appropriate treatment without delay.

Dental Care, Oral Surgery, and Dental Imaging
Your pet’s dental health is closely connected to their overall well-being. We offer complete dental care, including professional cleanings, oral exams, extractions, and digital dental X-rays that help identify disease below the gumline. All dental procedures are performed under anesthesia to ensure safety and comfort. By addressing oral disease early and maintaining regular cleanings, we help prevent pain, infection, and long-term dental issues, supporting a healthier and happier life for your pet.

In-House and Reference Laboratory Services
Our in-house laboratory allows us to evaluate bloodwork, urine samples, stool samples, and other diagnostics the same day, giving us quick answers when your pet needs care. Fast results help us diagnose infections, metabolic changes, endocrine issues, anemia, and other medical concerns. For specialized tests that require deeper analysis, we partner with trusted veterinary reference laboratories. Together, these services provide accurate, timely information that supports effective treatment planning.

Nutrition Counseling
Nutrition plays a major role in your pet’s long-term health, and we provide guidance to help you choose the right diet for their needs. Whether your pet requires weight management, allergy support, or a therapeutic diet for a chronic condition, we create personalized recommendations based on age, breed, lifestyle, and medical history. By choosing the appropriate nutrition and adjusting as your pet’s needs change, we help support healthy growth, strong immunity, and overall well-being.

Bathing
Our bathing services help keep your pet clean, fresh, and comfortable. Bathing can be beneficial for pets with allergies, skin conditions, or coats that require regular maintenance. Using gentle products and careful handling, we provide a safe and pleasant experience for pets of all sizes and temperaments. Regular bathing can also support skin and coat health while giving your pet some extra pampering during their visit.

Elective and Major Surgery
We perform a variety of elective and soft tissue surgeries with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and attentive monitoring. Each surgical plan includes pre-operative evaluation, individualized anesthesia protocols, and careful post-operative recovery support. Whether your pet is here for a routine spay or neuter, mass removal, or a more complex procedure, our team is committed to maintaining the highest standards of surgical care. Your pet’s well-being is our top priority from start to finish.

Pain Management
Pain management is an essential part of maintaining your pet’s comfort and overall quality of life. We create personalized plans that may include medication, supplements, therapeutic support, and lifestyle adjustments based on your pet’s specific condition. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery or managing a chronic condition like arthritis, our goal is to alleviate discomfort and enhance mobility. Ongoing evaluation ensures your pet continues to receive the right level of support as their needs evolve.

Preventative Medicine
Preventive care helps protect your pet’s long-term health by identifying potential concerns early and reducing the risk of disease. Regular exams, parasite prevention, vaccination planning, bloodwork, and discussions about nutrition and behavior all work together to support lifelong wellness. By staying ahead of developing issues, we can help keep your pet active, comfortable, and healthy through every stage of life. Our team works with you to create a plan that fits your pet’s unique needs year after year.

End-of-Life Services
We understand how emotional and difficult end-of-life decisions can be, and our team is here to provide gentle guidance and support. We offer compassionate quality-of-life discussions, helping you assess your pet’s comfort and make decisions with clarity. When the time comes, we provide peaceful euthanasia services that prioritize your pet’s dignity and your family’s emotional well-being. Throughout the process, we are committed to creating a calm, understanding experience rooted in care and respect.
