Everything You Need to Know About Your Pet’s Care
At Maplewood Veterinary Center, your pet’s first visit includes a thorough nose-to-tail physical examination. We review your pet’s medical history, lifestyle, and diet, and check vital systems such as skin, ears, teeth, heart, and joints. We’ll also discuss vaccination needs, parasite prevention, and nutrition to create a personalized preventive care plan.
We treat urgent medical concerns during normal hospital hours. If your pet has a medical issue, please call ahead so our team can prepare for your arrival. For emergencies outside of business hours, we will direct you to a nearby emergency veterinary facility and coordinate follow-up care afterward.
Maplewood Veterinary Center offers comprehensive medical care for dogs and cats at every stage of life.

Routine wellness visits help detect health problems early, even before symptoms appear. These exams allow us to monitor weight, dental health, and organ function while keeping vaccinations and parasite prevention up to date, helping your pet live a healthier and longer life.
Vaccination schedules depend on your pet’s age, medical history, and lifestyle. Puppies and kittens require a series of boosters, while adult pets follow a maintenance schedule. Our veterinarians will design a vaccination plan tailored to your pet’s individual risk factors.
Contact us if you notice appetite changes, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, limping, skin problems, or behavioral changes. These signs may indicate underlying illness, and early testing allows us to diagnose and treat conditions promptly.
Diagnostic tools such as examinations and imaging can identify masses, organ changes, or abnormalities earlier than physical symptoms alone. Early detection allows quicker treatment decisions and improves quality of life.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure and your pet’s health. Many pets begin improving within a few days, while more advanced surgeries require longer healing periods. We provide medications, monitoring guidance, and follow-up visits to ensure a smooth recovery.
You can call Maplewood Veterinary Center to schedule an exam. During the visit, the veterinarian will evaluate your pet, discuss treatment options, and determine whether surgery is recommended.
Yes. We perform professional dental cleanings and oral evaluations to remove plaque and tartar and treat dental disease. Regular dental care helps prevent infections and improves your pet’s overall health.
Absolutely. If your pet has bad breath, drooling, difficulty eating, swelling, or a damaged tooth, we recommend scheduling an exam promptly so we can evaluate the issue and provide treatment.
Dental procedures are performed under anesthesia to keep pets comfortable and safe. We also use pain-management medications and post-treatment care instructions to support a comfortable recovery.
Your new puppy or kitten should see a veterinarian soon after coming home. Early visits allow us to check overall health, start vaccinations, discuss nutrition, and set up parasite prevention.
Senior pets benefit from examinations about twice a year. More frequent visits help monitor age-related conditions such as arthritis, weight changes, and chronic disease so treatment can begin early.
We provide individualized pain-management plans that may include medications, lifestyle adjustments, and supportive care. Managing chronic pain helps improve mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life for aging pets.
TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) is a surgical procedure used to treat cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries in dogs, similar to a human ACL. Rather than stitching the ligament back together, TPLO changes the angle of the tibial plateau to stabilize the knee joint.
This procedure is recommended for dogs with partial or complete CCL tears, particularly active or larger breeds experiencing persistent limping, difficulty jumping, or knee swelling
At Maplewood Veterinary Center, we provide several orthopedic surgical options to help pets with bone, joint, and ligament problems. Our services include cranial cruciate ligament (ACL/CCL) surgery, TPLO surgery for dogs with CCL injuries, patellar luxation repair for slipped kneecaps, and fracture repair. As one of the few veterinary clinics in Bettendorf offering orthopedic procedures, we have the experience and specialized equipment needed to support your pet’s mobility and comfort. Our team can also evaluate and discuss ongoing concerns such as hip dysplasia, arthritis, and other joint-related conditions.
