Home Again
The HomeAgain lost pet recovery service has evolved into an advanced pet safety and wellness service designed to offer total care and protection for your pet.

The pet is enrolled in the HomeAgain National database that is available 24-hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. When a lost pet is found, he can be scanned at an animal shelter or veterinarian's office. The animal's identification number is provided to HomeAgain, and the pet owner is notified immediately.
Pets enrolled in the system also receive collar tags from wearing with their HomeAgain identification number and our toll-free number. The tags alone help identify lost pets, but tags and collars can easily come off. A microchip provides permanent identification that remains in place. Your pet's microchip ID number provides a permanent link to your contact information, as long as your contact information remains up-to-date in our database.

Slentrol
Slentrol works inside the small intestine of the dog. It keeps some of the fat from being absorbed into the body, so the dog senses that it is full and eats less at each meal. A less-hungry dog takes in fewer calories, which leads to weight loss. Unlike human weight-loss drugs, Slentrol is not associated with undesirable side effects such as oily discharges and excessive gas.
The result? Your dog could lose, on average, 3% of its weight every month through the medically appropriate approach to gradual, sustained weight loss over time.
Advanced Anesthetic Patient Monitoring
During general anesthesia, our patients are monitored closely by our staff using our state of the art monitoring equipment for heart rate, respiratory rate, capillary refill time and blood pressure. A change in blood pressure is an early indicator that a pet may be running into trouble. Monitoring blood pressure allows us to intervene earlier and prevent any anesthetic risk to your pet. We continually monitor vital statistics from the moment he or she is anesthetized to the time when he or she wakes up.
Pet Dental Care
Our dental services include teeth cleaning and polishing, dental x-rays, tooth extractions and oral surgery. One of the most debilitating diseases that your pet can develop during its lifetime is dental disease. Unfortunately, dental disease is also one of the most common problems we see in our patients at the Animal Medical Center. However, there is good news! Through appropriate preventive measures and prompt treatment of problems as they arise, we can deal with these dental problems before they become a serious threat to your pet's health.
Routine dental care is not only important for your pet and oral health, but also for his or her overall health. If dental disease is left untreated, it can progress to periodontal disease that can lead to oral abscesses, diseased teeth and eventually can cause damage to internal organs such as the heart and kidneys.
At the Animal Medical Center, we are proud of the level of dental care that we can provide for our patients. Dr. Leffler and his staff take a special interest in providing the best possible veterinary dental care. We are constantly updating our knowledge in the field of veterinary dentistry to provide you with the latest and best recommendations for optimal oral health.
Grooming
Regular grooming can prevent problems such as excessive shedding, skin and paw disorders, painful mats, and bad breath, as well as, help you identify other problems that might go unnoticed without the extra attention. At the Animal Medical Center of Streetsboro, we love pets and are certain your pet will leave happy, healthy and looking great!

Laser Surgery for Pets
The health of your pet is as important to us as it is to you. We are pleased to offer an exciting new option to traditional surgery. Laser surgery is a safe, comfortable procedure. In many procedures, the scalpel can be replaced with the laser to provide a much better alternative.
What is a laser?
A laser is a device that generates an intense beam of light at a specific wavelength.
Are lasers new?
No, laser technology has been around for more, than 20 years. Medical doctors have helped thousands of people with the use of lasers.
What type of procedures are performed with a laser?
A laser is ideal for all types of procedures. It used to correct many common conditions such as tumors, warts, and cysts. Many internal procedures are also performed with a laser. Your veterinarian will be able to tell you if the procedure your pet needs can be performed with a laser.
How does a laser work?
We treat our patients with a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser which is the most widely used type of laser in the medical field. CO2 lasers produce an invisible beam that vaporizes the water normally found in skin and other soft tissue. The laser beam can be precisely controlled so it can remove or cut a small portion of tissue at one time while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected.
Why pet laser surgery?
There is less pain - Less anesthesia can be used causing less complication because the laser seals nerve endings as it cuts. Pain after surgery is reduced.
There is less bleeding - The laser seals the small blood cells during surgery.
There is less swelling - Tearing, crushing and bruising are obsolete with the laser, because laser energy doesn't physically come in contact with the tissue.
Prevents infection.
What are some benefits for my pet?
Laser reduces the risk of infection - As the laser removes diseased tissue it also kills bacteria that cause infection.
The laser is precise - The laser can remove unhealthy tissue without affecting the healthy tissue surrounding it.
Quick recovery - The healing process is rapid and there is less post-operative discomfort.
Laser procedures heal differently than traditional surgery resulting in less trauma to your pet. This may shorten the time spent in the veterinary hospital.

Spay/Neuter
Female dogs and cats are spayed by removing their reproductive organs, and male dogs and cats are neutered by removing their testicles. In both cases the operation is performed while the pet is under anesthesia. Depending on your pet's age, size, and health, he or she will stay at your veterinarian's office for a few hours or a few days.Depending upon the procedure, your pet may need stitches removed after a few days. Your veterinarian can fully explain spay and neuter procedures to you and discuss with you the best age at which to sterilize your pet.
Animal Senior Care Program
The Animal Medical Center has a senior care program for all animals over the age of 7 years. Animals age much faster than humans and need examinations every 6 months (equivalent to every 3 years) and should undergo semi-annual blood testing of the blood cells, liver enzymes, and kidneys. Early detection of disease is vital to the well-being of your pet. Testing:
