Services
Vaccinations
We provide core and non-core vaccinations tailored to your pet's lifestyle and risk factors. Core vaccines include Rabies, Leptospirosis, DHPP for dogs, and Rabies/FVCRP for cats. Our 3-year vaccination protocol requires pets to be at least 15 months old with prior vaccination records. We maintain strict protocols for handling pets with vaccine reaction histories and offer educational resources on vaccination importance.
Dental Care
Our clinic offers routine dental cleanings, extractions, and oral health assessments. We emphasize preventive dental care to prevent systemic diseases linked to oral health. Services include scaling, polishing, and basic dental radiography. Patients requiring advanced dental procedures are referred to specialized facilities for comprehensive care while we maintain follow-up maintenance services.
Spay/Neuter Surgeries
We perform spay and neuter procedures to address pet overpopulation, with limited availability due to staff capacity. Our temporary surgical constraints mean we refer urgent cases to partner clinics while maintaining affordable pricing for routine procedures. We provide pre-operative consultations and post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal recovery outcomes for pets.
Heartworm Tests
Annual heartworm testing is recommended for all dogs with year-round prevention. We offer comprehensive parasite screening including fecal exams every six months to detect intestinal worms. Our clinic addresses emerging dewormer resistance concerns through regular diagnostic testing and provides preventative medication options through in-house stock and Vetsource online pharmacy partnerships.
Flea/Tick Control
We offer multiple flea and tick prevention products including Iverhart, ProHeart, Simparica, and Revolution analogs. Our clinic maintains inventory of common dosage sizes while providing prescription authorizations for special orders. Preventative care plans consider pet weight, health status, and environmental risk factors to create customized protection strategies against external parasites.

Are telemedicine appointments available?
Established patients can schedule telemedicine consultations for appropriate medical concerns through our website or by texting/calling 912-662-2282 for non-emergency veterinary advice.
Why was Leptospirosis added as a core vaccine?
Local disease prevalence data led to classifying Leptospirosis as core vaccination due to increased coastal Georgia equine cases. This ensures comprehensive protection against prevalent regional health threats.
How do I order prescription medications?
Prescriptions require a valid patient-doctor relationship. We can special order medications or provide written prescriptions for local pharmacies. Our Vetsource online pharmacy offers home delivery options for routine medication needs.
