Comprehensive Preventive Care Plans
Personalized Vaccination and Parasite Protocols
Our team builds vaccination schedules based on lifestyle, age, and local risk factors. We combine core protection with optional boosters and offer internal and external parasite control tailored to your pet’s environment.
During each visit, we review weight, nutrition, and behavior, adjusting plans as your companion ages. This ongoing partnership helps reduce the chance of preventable disease and supports long-term quality of life.
Advanced Diagnostics and In-House Laboratory
Rapid Bloodwork and Imaging Services
Eastford Veterinary Clinic maintains an in-house laboratory and digital imaging equipment for faster evaluation. Within minutes, our veterinarians can assess red and white blood cells, organ values, and screen for hidden conditions.
Faster results mean quicker decisions when your pet is unwell. We explain every value in plain language so you understand the findings and next steps.
Surgical and Dental Excellence
Safe Anesthesia and Pain Control
Before any procedure, we complete a physical exam and, when indicated, pre-anesthetic bloodwork. During surgery, trained technicians monitor heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and body temperature continuously.
Dental procedures include scaling under anesthesia, dental radiographs, and gentle extractions when necessary. We provide at-home oral care guidance so you can protect your pet’s teeth between visits.
Compassionate End-of-Life and Hospice Support
Palliative Options and Quality-of-Life Discussions
As pets age, we help you recognize comfort goals and manage chronic pain. We offer in-home guidance, medication plans, and, when the time is right, humane euthanasia services with dignity and respect.
Our team supports you through each decision, ensuring your companion’s final days are calm and peaceful while keeping your family informed and supported.

What should I bring to the first visit at Eastford Veterinary Clinic with my new kitten?
Bring any medical records or vaccination history you have, notes about diet and litter habits, and a list of questions. If possible, transport your kitten in a secure carrier so our team can assess them safely from the start.

Yes. We provide detailed estimates before any scheduled procedure, separating exam, medication, testing, and anesthesia costs. We also discuss payment options and can arrange plans to fit your budget.

We offer select telehealth consults for appropriate follow-up questions and ongoing care guidance. In-person appointments remain necessary for physical exams, diagnostics, and any urgent or complex medical needs.
