Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams ensure early detection of potential health issues and maintain optimal pet wellness. Through routine physical examinations, parasite screening, and age-appropriate diagnostic testing, we help identify and address health concerns before they become serious. Our preventative care approach keeps your pets in peak condition throughout their lives.
Spay & Neuter
We provide safe, professional spaying and neutering procedures for dogs and cats of all ages. This essential service prevents unwanted litters while offering health benefits like reduced cancer risks and behavioral issues. Our surgical team follows strict protocols to ensure patient safety and comfort throughout the procedure.
Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings maintain your pet's oral health and prevent systemic disease. Using advanced equipment, we remove plaque and tartar buildup while examining for oral abnormalities. Regular dental care extends pets' lifespans and prevents painful conditions like periodontal disease and tooth loss.
Rabies Vaccinations
We administer USDA-certified rabies vaccinations that comply with Nebraska's legal requirements for pet ownership. This core vaccine protects both animal and public health while preventing costly quarantine or euthanasia requirements following animal bites.
In-House Lab Work
Our on-site laboratory provides rapid diagnostic results for immediate treatment decisions. Complete blood counts, biochemistry panels, urinalysis, and parasite identification allow accurate diagnosis of infections, organ function issues, and metabolic conditions without waiting for external lab results.
