Midland Animal Clinic

Midland Animal Clinic, a full-service veterinary clinic in Poway

Midland Animal Clinic is a full-service animal hospital located in Poway, California, serving pets and their owners in that community and the surrounding area. The clinic presents itself as a family practice where patient care and customer service come first, and notes that its veterinarians are licensed in the state of California.

The center accepts both emergency cases and patients in need of routine medical, surgical, and dental care. According to its own description, the medical team has years of experience treating serious conditions and providing regular preventive care.

History and evolution of the clinic

The clinic has served the community since 1973. As the area grew, the center became too small at its original location and, after several years of planning, a new building was constructed across the street from the previous one, opening its doors in August 2008. The clinic itself emphasizes that it maintains the values of its early days and considers its clients and their pets part of an extended family.

Patients we care for

Midland Animal Clinic cares for dogs and cats of all sizes, as well as small mammals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, and hamsters.

Preventive medicine and wellness services

The clinic's service offerings include:

• Annual wellness exams to assess the pet's overall condition, detect problems before they worsen, and keep track of their health.
• Dentistry: annual dental exams, preventive care at home, and regular cleanings.
• Vaccinations as an essential part of preventive care.
• Parasite control, including fleas, ticks, and heartworms, with year-round preventive measures.
• Diet and nutrition to help prevent disease, maintain a healthy weight, and promote overall wellbeing.
• Identification microchipping as a way to reunite lost pets with their owners.

Diagnostic imaging and laboratory

The clinic performs routine X-rays to identify illnesses or injuries, offers laboratory services to detect problems and begin treatment before the condition worsens, and calls on veterinary specialists to perform advanced diagnostic ultrasounds.

Surgery

Among the surgical procedures offered are spaying and neutering, soft tissue surgery — any procedure that does not involve bones — and orthopedic surgery, aimed at pets with joint problems, torn ligaments, fractures, or congenital malformations.

Complementary therapies

The center offers noninvasive therapies for managing pain and inflammation:

• Cold laser: a treatment without surgery or drugs that, according to the clinic, has been scientifically proven useful for post-surgical pain and various acute and chronic conditions.
• Acupuncture: a pain-free therapy aimed primarily at inflammation and pain.

Travel certificates and end-of-life care

As a federally accredited veterinary practice, Midland Animal Clinic can issue health certificates for pets traveling within the United States. It also supports owners in the decision regarding euthanasia, offering information about the available options and assistance during that process.

Pharmacy and management app

The clinic has its own pharmacy where it announces new lower prices for medications and food, and offers online shopping. It also offers the PetOne Veterinary App to manage pets' health care.
