Full-service Veterinary Care Provided for the Complete Health of Your Pet

Thompson Animal Medical Center offers a variety of vaccinations, animal wellness services, and general pet supplies. You will find everything you require for your pet's wellbeing under one roof. Call us for details.

Wellness

Veterinary medicine has long recognized the importance of preventive care. Regular examinations are important to identify problems before they become serious and to discuss ways to keep your pet healthy.

Vaccinations

Today you can do much more than protect your animal friend from Rabies and Distemper. There are many more vaccines to prevent a wide variety of illnesses including Lyme disease.

Physical Exam

Animal care shares an important feature with human care: the physical exam. Combined with the medical history that you provide us, we can learn so much about how your pet is doing through important information like weight, temperature, pulse, breathing, the sound of an animal's heart and lungs, and the way their internal organs feel on exam. We also check the teeth and gums to assess dental health.

Dental Care 

Dental care is about more than teeth. Infected gums and teeth can affect the heart, lungs, kidneys, intestines and joints. The goal, just like in human medicine, is to prevent problems. We can teach you how to care for your pet’s mouth.

Surgery

You’ll find the same standards found in a human operating room in our full surgical suite. Our veterinary staff is trained to perform a wide range of surgical procedures. Before an operation is performed, we do a physical examination and blood tests. We have an excellent anesthesia record because of continuing training and the dedication of our surgical staff. We also have a board certified surgeon, Dr. O'Brien, who can do certain specialized surgeries at our facility.

State-of-the-art Equipment

Our commitment to excellence includes offering the first animal ultrasound in the area. Our technology also includes digital radiographs, pulse oximeter, Doppler blood pressure, full Idexx in-house laboratory diagnostics suite, and an EKG service with a direct link to a cardiologist.

Complete Diagnostic Capabilities

We want to know what ails your animal friend as much as you do. Our in-house laboratory allows us to quickly and efficiently perform blood, urine and parasite tests that are vital to your pet’s health.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound helps us “see” inside the body to better diagnose heart and abdominal diseases, including cancer without surgery. It also can be used to identify and date pregnancies.

Pet Food and Supplies

Your friend’s diet is as important as yours. We offer prescription diets, flea and tick products, prescription shampoos, and limited general pet supplies. We stock a complete selection of prescription diets, flea and tick products, shampoos, grooming aids, and general pet supplies.

Referrals

With specialization in veterinary medicine, we sometimes consult with other specialists as needed at the University of Minnesota Veterinary Teaching Hospital and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. Specialized testing also can be done at Idexx Laboratory. 

Education

We work with you to help you understand how you can keep your pet healthy. Continuing education is important for us, too. We keep up with advances in veterinary medicine through accredited veterinary seminars.

Emergency Service

Contact with a doctor is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for our clientele.

Senior Care

It’s hard to think of a 7 year old as being old, but at that age your friend is the equivalent of 45 human years.

Thompson Animal Medical Center’s Senior Care begins with a complete physical examination and tests to serve as a baseline for future changes and to pick up current problems.

We’ll make recommendations about diet, exercise and other preventive care.

Why do all this?

So your friend has a long, healthy life with you.
