Services
Surgical Services
Our surgical services cater to pets' specific health needs, considering age, pre-existing conditions, and overall health. We perform soft tissue procedures and limited orthopedic surgeries, including limb amputations, with pre-anesthetic blood work and monitored anesthesia for safety. Postoperative care includes detailed discharge instructions to ensure smooth recovery.
In-House Laboratory
Our on-site laboratory provides rapid diagnostic results for serum chemistry, hematology, urinalysis, and parasite testing. This allows for same-day evaluations of internal organ health, infection markers, and chronic conditions, enabling timely treatment decisions and follow-up care for pets.
Dentistry
Dental cleanings include scaling, polishing, and extractions for diseased teeth. We emphasize oral hygiene to prevent systemic health issues like heart and kidney disease. Oral exams and routine cleanings ensure pets maintain healthy mouths and avoid painful dental conditions.
Radiology
Modern X-ray equipment enables quick, high-quality imaging for diagnosing fractures, respiratory issues, and internal abnormalities. Our radiology services support fast assessments of musculoskeletal and organ systems, aiding in effective treatment planning for pets.
Grooming Services
Customized grooming packages include essential hygiene procedures like ear cleaning, nail trimming, and bathing. Our experienced groomers address medical needs alongside aesthetic care, promoting healthier skin, coats, and overall well-being for dogs through professional spa treatments.
