General Services
Our goal is to provide high-quality, complete veterinary care at SSV as we create a “home away from home” environment with loving nurses and assistants! Patients in the hospital will be comforted with blankets, fleeces, towels, and comfortable accommodations.
Urgent Care
Laser Therapy
Dentistry
Untreated periodontal disease is cyclic and permanent. The early form of periodontal disease gingivitis is completely reversible. Periodontitis, advanced periodontal disease, is treatable and controllable but not reversible. That is why patients must be treated early! Once pathology is seated, it is much more difficult to treat and more costly to control.
Get to know Dr. DeForge and the team!
Dr. DeForge is the only Fellow of the Academy of Veterinary Dentistry in Milford. He performs dental cleanings that are affordable, with dental X-ray diagnostics in the same manner as a human dentist! He also helps practitioners throughout Connecticut, New York, and New England in oral fracture problems, oral cancer, root canals in broken teeth, and in tooth restorations with caps or crowns. He has developed a surgical protocol for treating the painful cat stomatitis patient.
Pet Insurance
Pet insurance is one tool that enables clients to care for their fur babies without a great financial burden! Dr. DeForge and his professional team at SSV accept all pet insurances that are registered with the State of Connecticut Insurance Department.
We love our clients and patients.
