Fast Answers. Better Care. Peace of Mind.

When your pet isn’t feeling their best, quick and accurate answers make all the difference. At Tranquil Tides Veterinary Clinic, our advanced in-house diagnostic capabilities allow us to run essential tests right here in our clinic—so you don’t have to wait days for results or send your pet elsewhere.

What Are In-House Diagnostics?

In-house diagnostics are medical tests we can perform on-site, using our own laboratory and equipment. This means we can quickly check your pet’s bloodwork, urine, stool, and more—giving you timely insights and allowing us to start treatment faster when it matters most.

Our In-House Diagnostic Services Include:

Bloodwork (CBC, Chemistry Panels)
To assess organ function, hydration, infection, and more

Safe. Soothing. Scientifically Proven Relief.

At Tranquil Tides Veterinary Clinic, we’re committed to providing the most advanced, compassionate care available. That’s why we offer laser therapy—a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that helps reduce pain, speed healing, and improve your pet’s quality of life.

What Is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. The light energy increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and helps damaged tissues repair more quickly—all without discomfort or side effects.

It’s completely painless and relaxing—many pets even fall asleep during treatment!

Conditions We Treat with Laser Therapy:

Arthritis and joint pain

Hip or elbow dysplasia

Muscle and ligament injuries

Back pain or spinal issues

Wounds, hot spots, and surgical incisions

Ear infections and skin inflammation

Dental/gum inflammation

Neurological injuries or post-surgical nerve pain

What to Expect:

Laser therapy sessions are quick—usually 5 to 15 minutes depending on the area treated. Your pet will rest comfortably while a trained technician gently applies the laser wand to the affected area. There’s no shaving, sedation, or recovery time needed.

Most pets begin to show signs of relief after just a few sessions, and treatment plans are tailored to each individual’s needs.

Why Pet Owners Love Laser Therapy:

Drug-free and non-invasive

Reduces pain and inflammation

Speeds healing after injury or surgery

Safe for pets of all ages

Comfortable and stress-free

Expert Diagnosis. Compassionate Care. Lifelong Health.

Some health issues go deeper than what we can see on the surface. At Tranquil Tides Veterinary Clinic, our internal medicine services are here to help when your pet is facing more complex or chronic conditions that affect their internal organs or overall body systems.

What Is Internal Medicine?

Veterinary internal medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions that involve the internal organs and systems—including the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, immune system, and more. These conditions are often long-term, complex, or hard to diagnose without advanced testing.

Conditions We Commonly Treat:

Diabetes, thyroid disease, and other endocrine disorders

Kidney and liver disease

Chronic gastrointestinal issues (vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss)

Autoimmune diseases

Heart and respiratory conditions

Urinary tract and bladder disorders

Blood and bone marrow diseases

Infectious diseases (tick-borne illness, fungal infections, etc.)

Advanced Diagnostics & Compassionate Management

Using advanced in-house diagnostics—including bloodwork, imaging (X-rays, ultrasound), urinalysis, and more—we can get to the root of your pet’s health concerns quickly and accurately. Our goal is to provide comprehensive care and long-term management, always with your pet’s comfort and quality of life in mind.

Here When Your Pet Needs Us Most

Natural Relief. Gentle Healing. Whole-Body Wellness.

At Tranquil Tides Veterinary Clinic, we believe in blending modern medicine with time-tested therapies to support your pet’s health from the inside out. Acupuncture for pets is a safe, non-invasive treatment that helps relieve pain, improve mobility, and promote healing—naturally.

What Is Veterinary Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is the practice of placing very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing. These points correspond to nerves, muscles, and pathways of energy (also known as “meridians”) that help regulate your pet’s body systems.

By improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and triggering the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals, acupuncture can help your pet feel better without drugs or surgery.

Conditions Acupuncture Can Help With:

Arthritis and joint pain

Back or neck problems (including IVDD)

Hip or elbow dysplasia

Neurological conditions

Digestive disorders

Skin issues or allergies

Chronic pain or inflammation

Anxiety and stress-related conditions

Recovery from injury or surgery

What to Expect

Acupuncture sessions are calm, gentle, and often very relaxing for pets. Treatments usually last 15–30 minutes, and most animals tolerate them well—some even fall asleep during their sessions! Treatment plans are customized to your pet’s condition and comfort.

Why Choose Acupuncture?

Drug-free pain management

Supports healing and recovery

Safe for pets of all ages

Complements traditional veterinary care

Enhances overall quality of life

What Is Veterinary Herbal Medicine?

Herbal medicine involves the use of medicinal plants to promote health and manage illness. Each herb contains natural compounds that can support the body’s systems, reduce inflammation, ease discomfort, and aid in recovery.

Herbal therapies may be used on their own or combined with other treatments such as acupuncture, nutrition, or conventional medications.

Why Choose Herbal Medicine?

Natural and gentle on the body

Fewer side effects than some medications

Addresses underlying imbalances, not just symptoms

Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT)

Natural. Restorative. Gut Health from the Inside Out.

At Tranquil Tides Veterinary Clinic, we know that a healthy digestive system is the foundation of your pet’s overall well-being. That’s why we offer Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT)—a natural, science-backed treatment designed to restore balance to your pet’s gut microbiome, improve digestion, and strengthen immunity.

What Is Fecal Microbiota Transplant?

Fecal Microbiota Transplant introduces beneficial bacteria from a healthy donor into your pet’s gastrointestinal tract. These good microbes help repopulate the gut, restore balance, and support long-term digestive health.

The process is safe, gentle, and effective—providing relief for pets who struggle with chronic digestive problems or have not responded well to traditional treatments.

Conditions We Treat with FMT:

Chronic diarrhea or constipation

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

Leaky gut syndrome

Antibiotic-associated gut disruption

Loss of appetite or weight linked to gut health

General immune system imbalances

What to Expect:

FMT is performed under veterinary supervision using carefully screened donor material to ensure safety and effectiveness. Depending on your pet’s needs, it can be administered as:

An enema directly into the gastrointestinal tract

Oral capsules containing processed donor material

Most pets show noticeable improvements in digestion and energy within days to weeks. Some conditions may require a series of treatments for best results.

Why Pet Owners Choose FMT:

Natural and drug-free

Restores healthy gut bacteria

Supports digestion and nutrient absorption

Strengthens immune system health

Safe and effective for pets of all ages

Provides lasting relief from chronic digestive issues

If your pet struggles with ongoing digestive or immune issues, FMT may be the solution they need. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
