Services
Preventative Care
Our preventative care program includes annual exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention to maintain pet health. We establish health baselines for dogs, cats, and exotics through regular checkups. Personalized vaccine recommendations protect against rabies, distemper, and other diseases while minimizing unnecessary shots. Early detection of potential issues allows more effective treatment interventions.
Exotic Pet Care
We provide specialized care for birds, reptiles, and small mammals including bearded dragons, guinea pigs, and rabbits. Services include dental care, nail trims, fecal exams, and nutritional counseling. Our experienced veterinarians offer housing recommendations and disease prevention strategies for exotic species during annual checkups. We treat both common and unique exotic pets with appropriate handling techniques.
Pet Surgery
Our surgical suite performs routine and advanced procedures using human hospital protocols. Pre-anesthetic blood work ensures patient safety while nerve blocks minimize discomfort. We offer spays, neuters, growth removals, orthopedic repairs, and emergency surgeries. Post-operative care includes pain management plans and home recovery instructions for pet owners.
Pet Dentistry
Professional dental cleanings prevent periodontal disease through ultrasonic scaling and polishing. We treat gingivitis, tooth decay, and oral infections using full-mouth X-rays for accurate diagnosis. Pre-anesthetic evaluations ensure safety while post-care recommendations include home brushing and specialized diets. Regular dental exams help identify problems before they cause pain.
Pet Grooming
Fear-Free certified groomers provide baths, haircuts, and nail trims using premium products. Services include breed-specific trims, de-shedding treatments, and medicated baths for skin conditions. Our National Certified Master Groomer offers specialized handling for anxious pets. Regular grooming packages maintain coat health and prevent skin issues through proper maintenance schedules.
