Powell Veterinary Service is proud to announce the introduction of advanced PennHIP screening in Colorado, enhancing the care and prevention of hip dysplasia in pets. As a leading veterinary clinic in the region, this new service reflects our commitment to providing cutting-edge healthcare solutions for our animal patients.

PennHIP, short for the University of Pennsylvania Hip Improvement Program, is a sophisticated screening method that allows for the early detection of hip dysplasia. This condition, which can lead to arthritis and severe pain, is particularly common in certain breeds of dogs. Early detection through PennHIP enables proactive management and treatment, significantly improving the quality of life for affected pets.

Mark H. Powell DVM, President of Powell Veterinary Service, expressed his enthusiasm about the new service. "We are thrilled to offer PennHIP screening as part of our comprehensive veterinary services. This advanced diagnostic tool will allow us to identify hip dysplasia at its earliest stages and implement effective treatment plans to prevent long-term complications. Our goal is always to provide the best possible care for our patients, and PennHIP is a valuable addition to our practice."

Powell Veterinary Service has a long-standing reputation for excellence in veterinary care. Founded on the principles of compassion, integrity, and innovation, the clinic has continually expanded its services to meet the evolving needs of the pet community. The introduction of PennHIP screening is the latest in a series of advancements aimed at improving pet health and well-being.

The PennHIP method involves taking a series of X-rays that provide a detailed view of the hip joints. Unlike traditional methods, PennHIP can identify the likelihood of developing hip dysplasia much earlier, even in young puppies. This early detection is crucial for breeders and pet owners alike, as it allows for informed decisions regarding breeding and preventive care.
The team at Powell Veterinary Service has undergone extensive training to become certified in PennHIP screening. This ensures that the procedure is performed with the highest level of expertise and accuracy. Pet owners can be confident that their pets are receiving top-tier care from professionals who are skilled in the latest diagnostic techniques.

In addition to PennHIP screening, Powell Veterinary Service offers a wide range of veterinary services, including routine check-ups, vaccinations, dental care, surgical procedures, and emergency services. The clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by a team of dedicated veterinarians and support staff who are passionate about animal health.

Powell Veterinary Service's commitment to education and community engagement is also evident in this new offering. The clinic plans to host informational sessions and workshops to educate pet owners about the benefits of PennHIP screening and the importance of early detection in managing hip dysplasia. These efforts are aimed at fostering a better understanding of pet health and encouraging proactive care.

Pet owners who are interested in PennHIP screening are encouraged to contact Powell Veterinary Service to schedule an appointment. The clinic’s friendly and knowledgeable staff are available to answer any questions and provide guidance on the best care options for each pet.

In conclusion, the introduction of PennHIP screening at Powell Veterinary Service marks a significant advancement in the care and management of hip dysplasia in pets.
