Services
Emergency Care
Our clinic provides comprehensive emergency veterinary services for critical situations requiring immediate attention. With experienced emergency veterinarians on premises and access to advanced diagnostic tools like digital radiography and ultrasound, we offer rapid assessment and treatment for trauma, poisoning, and acute medical conditions. Same-day appointments are available for urgent cases during regular business hours.
PRP Therapy
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy accelerates healing through concentrated growth factors from the patient's own blood. This outpatient treatment effectively addresses musculoskeletal injuries and post-surgical recovery by enhancing the body's natural healing processes. We utilize PRP therapy during ACL surgeries and non-invasive treatments for pets requiring joint or tissue repair.
Pet Resort
4Paws Pet Resort offers premium boarding with climate-controlled suites, outdoor play areas, and personalized care options. Our facility features heated floors, music therapy, and separate cat accommodations to ensure pet comfort. Additional services include scheduled baths, dental procedures, and water treadmill therapy for dogs requiring physical rehabilitation during extended stays.
Ultrasound Diagnostics
We utilize advanced ultrasound technology for non-invasive internal organ evaluation and real-time visualization of cardiac activity. This diagnostic tool enables accurate assessment of abdominal conditions, pregnancy monitoring, and early detection of soft tissue abnormalities. Our skilled technicians perform abdominal and cardiac ultrasounds to support comprehensive diagnostic and treatment planning.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include professional cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment using digital dental radiography. Sedation ensures patient comfort during procedures, while digital imaging identifies hidden dental issues. Our preventive dental care helps avoid systemic health complications associated with untreated periodontal disease, extending pets' lifespans through improved oral health.
