Services
Vaccinations
We provide core and elective vaccinations for puppies, kittens, and adult pets. Our protocols prevent diseases like rabies, distemper, and heartworm. Each vaccine schedule is tailored to the pet's age, health, and lifestyle, ensuring optimal protection. Our team educates clients on booster timelines and local regulations.
Dental Cleaning
Professional dental cleanings remove tartar and prevent systemic infections. We use ultrasonic scalers and polishing under anesthesia for thorough results. Pre-procedure blood tests ensure patient safety, while post-op antibiotics and home care recommendations support long-term oral health and gum disease prevention.
Spay/Neuter
Surgical spaying and neutering promote pet health and population control. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork, human-grade anesthesia, and overnight monitoring ensure safety. Recovery plans include pain management and follow-up checks. We advise procedures before first heat cycles for maximum health benefits.
Laser Therapy
Companion Therapy Laser Treatments address arthritis, wounds, and post-surgical pain without pharmaceuticals. Non-invasive sessions reduce inflammation and accelerate healing by stimulating cellular repair. Conditions treated include hip dysplasia, gingivitis, and soft tissue injuries, offering drug-free relief for improved mobility.
Flea/Tick Prevention
We offer oral and topical products like BRAVECTO for extended flea and tick protection. Bravecto delivers 12 weeks of coverage in a single dose for dogs, with topical options available for cats. Our staff advises on seasonal risks and integrated strategies to safeguard pets from vector-borne diseases.
