Greeley, CO – Powell Veterinary Service is proud to announce the introduction of advanced OFA (Orthopaedic Foundation for Animals) testing, providing dog owners in Greeley, CO with an essential service for evaluating and improving canine health. This latest offering reinforces the hospital’s commitment to high-quality veterinary care and responsible pet ownership.

OFA testing is a crucial tool in assessing the health of a dog’s joints, particularly for breeds prone to hip and elbow dysplasia. By offering this advanced screening, Powell Veterinary Service enables dog owners, breeders, and trainers to make informed decisions about their pet’s long-term well-being. Early detection of potential orthopedic issues allows for better management and, in many cases, preventative care to support a dog’s mobility and comfort.

For years, Powell Veterinary Service has provided compassionate and expert veterinary care, serving pet owners throughout the Greeley area. By incorporating OFA testing into its range of diagnostic services, the hospital continues to lead the way in promoting proactive health management for dogs of all breeds.

The testing process involves a thorough radiographic evaluation of a dog’s joints, assessing for any abnormalities that could lead to future mobility concerns. Certified veterinarians at Powell Veterinary Service use state-of-the-art imaging technology to capture high-quality X-rays, ensuring accurate and reliable results. These images are then submitted to the Orthopaedic Foundation for Animals for official grading and certification.

One of the key benefits of OFA testing is its role in responsible breeding practices. Ethical breeders use these evaluations to ensure they are selecting dogs with healthy genetics, reducing the likelihood of passing on hereditary joint conditions. By providing this service, Powell Veterinary Service supports efforts to improve the overall health of future generations of dogs.

A spokesperson for Powell Veterinary Service expressed enthusiasm about the new service, stating, "We are always looking for ways to enhance the level of care we provide to our community. OFA testing is an important step in protecting the health of dogs, whether they are working breeds, family companions, or potential breeding candidates. Our goal is to help pet owners make well-informed decisions that lead to healthier and happier lives for their dogs."

Beyond breeding considerations, OFA testing is valuable for pet owners who want to ensure their dog maintains strong joint health throughout life. Early detection of joint issues allows for tailored treatment plans, including weight management, joint supplements, and lifestyle adjustments that can delay the progression of arthritis or mobility challenges.

Powell Veterinary Service remains dedicated to offering comprehensive veterinary care, combining expertise with the latest advancements in pet health. The introduction of OFA testing is part of a broader commitment to preventive care, helping pet owners take a proactive approach to their animal’s long-term well-being.

The hospital has built a strong reputation for its compassionate approach and high standards of veterinary care. With a team of experienced professionals, Powell Veterinary Service ensures that every pet receives personalized attention and expert medical evaluation. This new service further strengthens its position as a trusted provider of advanced veterinary diagnostics.

In addition to OFA testing, Powell Veterinary Service offers a wide range of veterinary services, including general health check-ups, vaccinations, dental care, surgical procedures, and nutritional guidance. This holistic approach ensures that pets receive well-rounded care tailored to their specific needs.

With increasing awareness of genetic and orthopedic conditions in dogs, responsible pet ownership now includes proactive screening and early intervention. Powell Veterinary Service’s commitment to providing OFA testing aligns with this growing need, offering pet owners access to reliable and professional canine health assessments.

As the hospital continues to expand its services, the introduction of OFA testing highlights its dedication to pet health and well-being. By providing accurate screenings, expert advice, and personalized care plans, Powell Veterinary Service ensures that dogs in Greeley receive the best possible support for a lifetime of good health.

With a focus on both prevention and treatment, Powell Veterinary Service remains at the forefront of veterinary excellence in the region.
