Services
Preventative Care
Our preventative care program emphasizes early disease detection through routine examinations. We monitor pet health metrics, vaccination status, and parasite prevention needs to maintain optimal wellness. This proactive approach helps identify potential issues before they become serious health concerns.
Dentistry
We provide comprehensive dental services including cleanings, extractions, and oral disease management. Our program addresses common pet dental issues that can affect overall health, offering both preventative maintenance and treatment for existing conditions.
Penn Hip Examinations
Our PennHIP-certified evaluations detect hip laxity in dogs as young as 16 weeks. Using specialized radiographic techniques, we measure joint stability to predict future osteoarthritis risk and guide breeding decisions for improved canine health.
Soft Tissue Surgery
Our surgical services include routine procedures and complex soft tissue operations. We perform spays, castrations, lump removals, and advanced treatments for respiratory and internal organ conditions with comprehensive pre- and post-operative care.
Orthopedic Surgery
We specialize in treating musculoskeletal conditions through cruciate repairs, fracture corrections, and joint treatments. Our orthopedic services focus on restoring mobility and managing osteoarthritis through both surgical and conservative treatment approaches.
