Services
Preventative Medicine
Our preventative medicine program focuses on early disease detection through regular physical exams, vaccinations, and laboratory testing. We tailor wellness plans to each pet's life stage, emphasizing weight management, dental care, and parasite prevention. Services include complete physical examinations, customized vaccination schedules, and health risk assessments to maintain optimal pet wellness.
Vaccinations
We offer core and non-core vaccinations to protect pets against infectious diseases. Our protocol includes rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia vaccines while considering each pet's lifestyle and exposure risks. All vaccinations include a comprehensive physical exam to ensure patient readiness and safety during the immunization process.
Diagnostics
Our in-house diagnostic laboratory provides rapid blood work, urinalysis, and microscopic evaluations with same-day results. For specialized testing, we utilize reference labs with next-day sample processing. Digital radiography offers immediate imaging for injury assessment, complemented by remote radiologist consultation when needed for complex cases.
Surgery
We perform spays, neuters, and soft tissue surgeries using laser technology to minimize bleeding and discomfort. Pre-anesthetic blood testing is recommended for senior pets, while all patients receive individualized pain management protocols. Our surgical suite maintains strict sterilization standards with continuous monitoring during procedures.
Emergency Services
We handle urgent pet health crises during business hours with immediate triage and treatment. For after-hours emergencies, we provide referral information to regional specialty clinics. Our team stabilizes critical patients while offering guidance for transportation and follow-up care with specialized veterinary emergency facilities.
