Services
Surgical Procedures
Our surgical suite provides routine operations with modern monitoring equipment. We use tailored anesthetic protocols factoring in patient age and health. Pre-surgical blood testing helps identify hidden risks. Complex cases receive specialist referrals while post-operative care includes pain management and suture monitoring.
Dental Care
We offer teeth cleaning, digital radiography, extractions, and oral surgery. Regular dental maintenance reduces systemic health risks. Our team identifies periodontal issues early through comprehensive oral examinations and implements preventive care strategies tailored to each pet.
Vaccinations
Vaccine protocols follow AAHA and AAFP guidelines. Core vaccines protect against parvo, distemper, and rabies. Lifestyle-based recommendations consider individual exposure risks. We use Purevax formulations for feline rabies and leukemia to minimize adverse reactions while ensuring immunity.
Emergency Referrals
Critical care cases receive immediate triage before transferring to Pet Emergency Clinic. Our staff provides initial stabilization while coordinating communication with emergency specialists. We maintain continuity of care through detailed medical record transfers and follow-up consultations.
Microchipping
We implant ISO-compliant Datamars microchips with lifetime registration through PetLink. Our staff explains proper registration processes and verifies scanner compatibility. We recommend biannual checkups to ensure chip functionality and update contact information in national databases.
