Services
Bloodwork
Our comprehensive blood testing services help diagnose medical conditions in pets through complete blood counts and serum chemistry panels. These tests evaluate organ function, detect infections, and identify blood cell abnormalities. Our in-house laboratory enables rapid diagnosis of conditions like anemia, diabetes, and kidney disease.
Dental Care
We provide professional dental cleanings and oral examinations to prevent periodontal disease in pets. Our services include tartar removal, dental x-rays, and treatment for gum disease. Regular dental checkups help prevent serious health issues affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Euthanasia
Our compassionate team offers in-office and at-home euthanasia services for pets with terminal illnesses or chronic pain. We provide sedation and peaceful passing options while supporting owners through the decision-making process. Cremation and aftercare services are available.
Microchipping
We implant permanent microchips for pet identification using ISO-standard technology. This quick procedure between shoulder blades creates a lifelong identification method. Registration assistance ensures updated contact information for lost pet recovery.
Vaccines
Our vaccination programs protect pets against common infectious diseases through core and lifestyle-recommended vaccines. We follow AAHA guidelines for rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia immunizations while maintaining proper vaccine storage and administration protocols.
