Arlington Veterinarian Features Pet Care for Sick Animals

Quality pet care involves preventative services and appropriate treatment for sick animals. Founded by Arlington veterinarian, Dr. Tim Cavanagh, All Creatures Veterinary Service has been treating sick cats and dogs since 1981. In addition to dogs and cats, our clinic also treats horses, farm animals and other popular pets, such as rabbits.


Our veterinarian is skilled at treating many different types of animals and our pet care includes surgery, dental care, advanced diagnostics, vaccinations, and spay/neuter procedures. Our Arlington neighbors also may benefit from our full-service pet pharmacy and one-stop testing ability. For example, our facility has its own in-house diagnostic and imaging equipment. We can diagnose and treat your pet without waiting for third-party testing.

Our Arlington neighbors with sick animals needing quality pet care have trusted our animal clinic to perform for 30 years. Our veterinarian and professional staff all have experience treating most frequent animal diseases and conditions. Periodic wellcare often uncovers early signs of disease or congenital conditions, while in their infant stages of development. These discoveries can lead to rapid, effective treatment to keep debilitating effects to a minimum.

Pet Care for Prevention and Treatment of Common Illnesses in Sick Dogs and Cats

Bacterial and fungal infections, protozoal diseases and parasites (fleas, ticks and worms) are common causes of sick animals. Dogs are also susceptible to skeletal and muscular disorders, cardiovascular and nervous system issues, along with eye, ear and skin infections.

Cats are also susceptible to rabies, infectious diseases (viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites), allergies, and skin disorders. Much like dogs, cats are vulnerable to certain human foods, such as chocolate, onions and garlic in large quantities. Fortunately, except for rabies, most sick cats or dogs cannot transmit their diseases to their owners.

Wellcare visits are just as important for preventative treatment. Our advanced diagnostics and screenings can identify diseases before they generate visibly sick dogs and cats. Bringing your pet in for regular checkups to visit our Arlington veterinarian allows our clinic to identify hidden potential problems. Preventive pet care, i.e., vaccinations and examinations, help your animal family member avoid all but the most common sources of illness. On the occasions that your pet contracts an illness, even after your best efforts to safeguard him/her, our clinic staff is trained in all advanced treatment programs.

Just as humans face new strains of flu each season, canine influenza is emerging as a common infectious disease. Fortunately, to date, the mortality rate is low (5 to 8 percent), but your pet may display troubling symptoms. Most causes of this increasingly “popular” disease are varieties of equine Influenzavirus A, a disease that is highly contagious and can cross over to dogs that have no natural immunity to this virus and can transmit it rapidly to their canine friends.

Caring for your pets’ health is comforting and rewarding. Dr. Cavanagh and our staff are all devoted animal lovers. Mixing high quality veterinary care with deep compassion, we treat every patient as if your pet were our only patient.
