Melrose Animal Clinic

Preventive Care

Dental Care
A consistent at-home dental care regimen helps you to keep your pet's mouth healthy and reduce the number of times they require professional cleanings. Brushing your cat's or dog's teeth is the single most effective way to reduce plaque and tartar, but there are other options, too. These include...
Vaccination
Core vaccinations include Rabies (once a year) and HCP/Distemper (given at 6-8 weeks of age, repeated every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks of age).
Veterinary Ophthalmology
I love the variety and challenges of general practice, and the opportunity to guide clients and their pets from puppy/kitten-hood to old age. Some of my veterinary interests include internal medicine, ophthalmology, soft tissue surgery, diagnostic ultrasound, and shelter medicine. In my free time, I enjoy aerial classes (silks/fabrics and trapeze), yoga, travel, hiking, live music, spending time with friends, eating good food, and exploring New England. I live in Arlington with the world’s best dog, Mabel (a Great Dane/Lab rescue), and two fabulous felines, Otto and Newman.
Nutritional Counseling
Comprehensive Examination
Physical examination: An important part of your pet's wellness. We will examine the eyes, ears, mouth, and teeth, as well as the coat, skin, and general muscular condition. We will feel the internal organs and listen to the heart and lungs. We will also weigh your pet and discuss with you its overall condition.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Fecal Examination: The fecal (stool) examination is a laboratory test that checks your pet for the presence of intestinal parasites, which is very common in kittens. These parasites can cause serious gastrointestinal upset resulting in vomiting and or diarrhea. They are also potentially contagious to humans.
Pain Management
At Melrose Animal Clinic, we believe in providing fast-acting and long-lasting pain relief for dogs and cats. That's why we offer a variety of pet pain relief options including medications and laser therapy for pets. We aim to anticipate pain (as with surgery ) and work to reduce their discomfort before it gets worse. Our pain management options can all be used separately or jointly for a multi-modal approach to pain.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Like us, pets can develop an allergy at any point in their lives. Typically, it’s a reaction to allergens with which we’re familiar including environmental and food allergies. Commonly, pets develop allergies to...
Injury Treatment

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
Lifestyle Vaccinations include Leptospirosis, Lyme CR and Canine Influenza (given in two doses, 3-4 weeks apart); as well as Bordetella (one dose of oral solution).
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Core vaccinations include Rabies (once a year), DAP/Distemper/ Hepatitis/Parvovirus (given at 6-8 weeks of age, repeated every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks of age).
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Ear Infection Treatment
Pet allergies are a leading cause of skin disorders in pets. Instead of the respiratory symptoms that allergies cause in people, pets with allergies tend to develop itchy skin and ear infections. For relief, they scratch themselves raw, which too often leads to secondary infections. With our pet dermatology services, we aim to both treat the skin condition as well as manage the allergy.
Urinary Tract Infection Treatment

Chronic Condition Treatment

Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Lab tests can help detect a range of internal medical conditions, often before physical symptoms arise. These include skin and ear disorders; infections; hormonal disorders such as diabetes, thyroid problems, and Cushing’s disease; heart, liver, kidney or blood diseases; tumors; parasites and their associated diseases; and more.
Heart Disease Treatment
Advanced monitoring equipment to track your pet’s blood pressure, heart rate, EKG, blood-oxygen level, respiration rate, temperature and more.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Even with consistent at-home care, periodontal disease can still develop. In the early stages, it’s easy to treat with routine professional cleaning, but as it progresses, it requires more intensive care. Without treatment, bacteria from your pet’s mouth can even enter their bloodstream and cause disease in the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Wound and Fracture Care

Veterinary Surgery
We recognize that your pet is a treasured member of your family. That’s why their safety is our topmost priority. The surgical care we provide is not unlike that which you would receive in a human hospital. We take several precautionary measures to ensure your pet’s safety including...
Laser Surgery
Declawing
Spaying and Neutering
When you bring your new pet home, one of the first things that may come to mind is whether or not a spay or neuter surgery is the right choice. It doesn’t have to be a hard decision. The veterinarians at Melrose Animal Clinic are happy to help you make the best call for you and your pet. We recommend spay and neuter surgeries for all pets not meant for breeding. Surgery helps to reduce pet overpopulation, giving current shelter pets a better chance at adoption and increases your pet’s likelihood of living a longer, healthier life.
Veterinary Euthanasia

Laboratory Services
The diagnostic equipment at Melrose Animal Clinic has two essential purposes. It allows us to screen symptom-free pets for common conditions and diagnose ill or injured pets quickly and accurately. Early detection is a pillar of our practice. The sooner we identify a health issue, the sooner we can develop a customized treatment plan for your pet. Our pet imaging and diagnostics include x-ray, ultrasound and an in-house laboratory.
X-Ray
Dental Radiology
I grew up in Melrose and graduated from Melrose High School in 1993. I joined the MAC team in 1996 and plan to be a “lifer”! I am married with two children and currently own “The STUDIO” a dance school here in Melrose. I truly love working with animals, especially in the areas of dental radiology and helping grieving families cope with the loss of their beloved pets.
Microchipping

General Pet Care

Boarding
Senior Pet Care
Senior pets are at a vulnerable stage of life. They can develop problems rapidly including the same things that affect us in old age, such as weight gain, arthritis, diabetes, decreased vision or hearing, cancer, and more. That’s why we recommend semi-annual exams to stay on top of these changes. Your senior pet’s well visit will include...
Dog Training
I continue to call the North Shore my home, along with with my husband, Matt, two daughters, and three rescue dogs named Ellie, Colbie, and Casey. I enjoy seeing and treating all species with a strong interest in exotic medicine, internal medicine, dog training, and soft tissue surgery. In my spare time, I enjoy walking, reading, baking, traveling to Disney World, and spending time with my family.

Small Animal Vet
Large Animal Vet
My husband Derek, a large animal vet and immunologist, owns Black Brook Veterinary Services in Hamilton. We live amongst many farm animals as well as a Border Collie, Tam, an English Labrador Retriever, Perch, a black domestic short-haired cat, Sumi Stick, and several chickens and guinea fowl, including a Silkie rooster, John Shellencamp. I enjoy anything outdoors or with the animals, including painting, running, hiking, fishing, xc-skiing, and rummaging at thrift stores. We like to travel with our dogs and hope to hike all the dog-friendly mountains in New England and Canada. We also have an extensive garden to produce our own food and trial seeds for a family business.
