Services
Emergency & Urgent Care
We provide 6-day emergency veterinary services for critical conditions including snail bait poisoning, hit-by-car incidents, and chocolate ingestion. Our trained team includes at least one veterinarian and multiple technicians working collaboratively during regular business hours to stabilize patients through immediate interventions and diagnostics while maintaining client communication throughout treatment processes.
Puppy & Kitten Wellness Plans
Our comprehensive wellness plans offer 30% savings on essential first-year care including physical examinations, core vaccinations, fecal testing, deworming, and multiple office visits. These packages provide structured preventive care schedules tailored to young pets' developmental needs while establishing baseline health metrics for future reference during annual visits.
Dental Services
We offer complete oral care including professional cleaning, tartar removal, and gingival assessment under anesthesia. Our dental exams encompass head/neck evaluation, oral cavity inspection, and follow-up home care recommendations using pet-safe products. Regular maintenance prevents periodontal disease through annual checkups that monitor teeth cleaning needs and educate owners about plaque prevention techniques.
Vaccinations & Examinations
Our vaccination protocols follow annual or semi-annual schedules based on pet age and risk factors, addressing changing health needs through physical exams every 6-12 months. We explain recommended vaccines while considering individual lifestyle factors, emphasizing preventive care that adapts examination frequency to pets' aging rates equivalent to 7 human years per calendar year.
Soft Tissue Surgery
We perform surgical interventions including laceration repairs, tumor removals, hernia corrections, and brachycephalic obstructive syndrome corrections. Our surgical capabilities extend to gastropexy procedures for gastric dilatation-volvulus prevention and specialized flat-faced dog surgeries aimed at improving respiratory function through anatomical corrections that enhance overall quality of life.
