From routine wellness visits to unexpected illness or injury, Memorial Veterinary Hospital provides complete care for dogs and cats at every life stage. Our team offers preventive medicine, diagnostics, surgery, and same-day urgent appointments so your pet can get help when it matters most — without the stress of an emergency hospital visit.
Pets don’t always wait for scheduled appointments to need help. Fortunately the veterinarians at our Throop Urgent Care and Wellness Center are ready to provide prompt attention when your pet is suddenly sick, hurt, or just not acting like themself.
Ongoing nausea or stomach upset could indicate infection, obstruction, or toxin exposure.
Persistent digestive issues may stem from parasites, diet changes, or illness.
If your energetic pet suddenly seems weak or withdrawn, it may point to pain or disease.
These can be signs your pet is uncomfortable, scared, or experiencing internal distress.
Skipping meals or refusing food for more than a day often signals something beyond simple pickiness.
These changes may be linked to kidney problems, diabetes, or hormonal disorders.
Injuries, joint inflammation, or spinal issues can cause noticeable mobility changes.
Confusion, aggression, or withdrawal may have a medical cause that needs evaluation.
Mucus, redness, or odor can point to infection or irritation.
Excess saliva might mean nausea, dental pain, or that your pet ingested something harmful.
Labored, noisy, or rapid breathing always warrants immediate attention.
If your pet may have eaten chocolate, medication, or chemicals, seek help immediately.
Persistent coughing could be related to respiratory illness, heart disease, or a foreign object.
Especially in male cats, this can signal a life-threatening blockage.
Red, flaky, or patchy skin may indicate allergies, fleas, or infection.
Any new growth or swelling should be evaluated to rule out infection or cancer.
These symptoms often indicate an allergic reaction and require urgent care.
Even small cuts can quickly become infected or more painful without treatment.
At Memorial Veterinary Hospital, our wellness services are designed to help your pet live a longer, healthier, and happier life by catching problems early and protecting against preventable diseases.
While a physical exam is an important part of wellness care, we also take the time to talk about your pet’s lifestyle, behavior, and overall well-being. Care is tailored to their individual needs so we can help you stay one step ahead of potential issues.
We believe in smart protection, not one-size-fits-all. Our Scranton veterinarians create vaccine plans based on your pet’s daily life and environment to provide strong, safe immunity against serious diseases.
Parasites can affect even the healthiest pets. We design prevention strategies that protect against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites, keeping your companion comfortable and protected year-round.
Pets are experts at hiding discomfort. Routine screenings, including bloodwork and fecal testing, give us a behind-the-scenes look at their health and allow concerns to be caught early when treatment is most effective.
Because accidents happen, a microchip gives your pet a voice when they can’t find their way home. The procedure is quick, safe, and provides lifelong peace of mind.
Planning a move or vacation with your furry co-pilot? Our USDA-certified veterinarians in Dickson City complete the exams and documentation needed to keep your pet compliant and travel-ready.
Even the healthiest pets need extra care from time to time. From dental cleanings to laser-assisted surgery, our Throop and Dickson City veterinarians combine skill, technology, and heart to deliver exceptional treatment with comfort and safety at the forefront.
Healthy teeth mean a happier pet. We provide professional cleanings, digital dental X-rays, treatment for gum disease, and extractions to keep your pet comfortable and their smile healthy.
Whether your pet needs a routine procedure or a complex soft-tissue operation, our experienced veterinarians perform each surgery with precision and careful attention to safety and comfort.
This gentle, drug-free treatment promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and provides pain relief for pets recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions.
Our in-house laboratory allows us to quickly analyze blood, urine, and other samples so we can deliver answers faster and begin treatment without unnecessary delays.
Digital radiography and ultrasound help us look beneath the surface to accurately diagnose injuries and illnesses while minimizing stress for your pet.
When it’s time to say goodbye, we guide families through the process with compassion and respect, helping ensure your companion’s final moments are peaceful and comfortable.
Appointments aren’t required for urgent care at our Throop Urgent Care and Wellness Center, but calling ahead is always appreciated. This helps our team prepare for your pet’s arrival and ensures we can provide prompt attention when you arrive.
Our Throop hospital offers both wellness services and same-day urgent care for sick or injured pets. The Dickson City location provides comprehensive veterinary care including surgery, dentistry, and health certificates for domestic and international travel.
We specialize exclusively in the care of dogs and cats, allowing our veterinarians to focus on providing the most up-to-date and effective treatments for these beloved companions.
Please bring any previous medical records, vaccination history, a list of medications or supplements your pet takes, and any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss. For cats, we recommend a secure carrier to make the visit less stressful, while dogs should be on a standard leash.
Our hospitals combine small-town warmth with modern medicine. Led by Dr. Noto, an eight-time Times-Tribune “Best Veterinarian” award recipient, we take pride in building lasting relationships with pets and their families.
