Services
Wellness Exams
Regular wellness exams monitor your pet's health proactively, detecting early signs of disease through comprehensive checks of heart, lungs, teeth, and bloodwork. Tailored to all life stages, these exams ensure timely interventions and home care guidance to maintain optimal health.
Vaccinations
Customized vaccination protocols protect pets from region-specific diseases using AAHA-guided core and lifestyle vaccines. Personalized schedules reduce adverse risks while ensuring immunity against rabies, distemper, and other preventable illnesses for lifelong health.
Pet Surgery
Our surgical suite offers orthopedic and soft tissue procedures like ACL repairs, tumor removals, and spaying/neutering. Advanced anesthesia monitoring and post-op pain management ensure safe, comfortable recovery for dogs and cats of all ages.
Pet Boarding
River Trail's pet lodge provides secure, climate-controlled accommodations with daily exercise, supervised play, and special dietary care. Glass rooms, river-view play areas, and Sunday access ensure pets feel relaxed and engaged during their stays.
Dental Care
Full dental services include cleanings, X-rays, and extractions performed under anesthesia. Digital radiography detects hidden disease, while preventive care guidance reduces risks of periodontal issues affecting heart, liver, and kidney health.
