Veterinary Surgery
Our surgical suite provides soft tissue and orthopedic procedures using modern anesthesia monitoring for safety. Preanesthetic blood testing and IV fluids ensure reduced risk, especially for geriatric or high-risk patients. Post-operative care includes pain management tailored to each pet's needs through oral medication, injectables, or narcotic patches.
Emergency Treatment
Available 24/7, our emergency services handle urgent pet health crises. Veterinarians provide immediate diagnostics, critical care, and advanced treatment options for trauma, poisoning, or acute illnesses. Call our regular number to access on-call support for after-hours emergencies requiring hospitalization.
Boarding Services
Climate-controlled boarding includes individualized care with outdoor playtime in secure grass areas. Dogs enjoy exercise runs while cats stay in quiet, dog-free environments. Kennel staff monitor pets throughout the day, providing special attention to medical needs and administering medications as required.
Diagnostic Imaging
In-house digital radiography and ultrasound deliver rapid, high-quality imaging for accurate diagnostics. These tools help identify internal issues requiring surgical or medical intervention, with results often available within hours rather than days. Complemented by ECG services and specialist cardiology consultations when needed.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include cleaning, polishing, extractions, and oral surgery. Digital X-rays aid in diagnosing tooth root issues or gum disease. Regular preventive dental care helps avoid systemic health problems while maintaining oral comfort and functionality for companion animals.
