Veterinary Care
Our comprehensive veterinary care spans routine wellness exams, advanced diagnostics, and surgical procedures. We provide individualized treatment plans for chronic conditions while emphasizing preventive care through vaccinations and parasite control. Our doctors maintain direct supervision over all medical cases, ensuring accurate diagnoses and proper follow-up for pets with complex health needs.
Pet Boarding
Our supervised boarding facility houses up to 30 dogs in indoor kennels with three daily walks and separate play areas. Feline guests stay in our dedicated quiet ward featuring bird-viewing windows. All boarders receive direct veterinary oversight, with special accommodations available for pets requiring medical monitoring during their stay.
Bathing Services
Professional bathing includes coat cleaning, nail trimming, and anal gland expression. We offer specialized pricing tiers based on pet size, with premium options for long-haired breeds. Additional fees apply for extensive matting removal, ensuring safe and comfortable grooming for all pets regardless of coat condition.
Pet Health Checker
This interactive resource helps pet owners assess symptom urgency levels through guided questionnaires. While not providing medical diagnoses, the tool effectively identifies situations requiring immediate veterinary intervention versus those manageable through home monitoring with periodic check-ins from our support team.
Emergency Services
Critical care remains available through partnerships with four regional specialty hospitals. Our referral network provides 24/7 emergency coverage across multiple locations, ensuring immediate access to advanced diagnostics, surgery, and critical care facilities when regular clinic hours end.
