Dental Care
Our veterinary dental care includes comprehensive oral examinations, ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and periodontal disease treatment. We address issues like fractured teeth, abscesses, and oral infections while prioritizing pet comfort through anesthetic safety protocols. Regular cleanings prevent systemic health complications.
Vaccinations
We administer core vaccinations for rabies, distemper, and feline viruses following strict regulatory compliance. Our vaccination schedules are tailored to each pet's risk profile, ensuring disease prevention while minimizing unnecessary treatments through titer testing options.
Emergency Care
While we offer daytime emergency services, after-hours critical care is available via referrals to Purdue University Animal Emergency Clinic and University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Our staff provides initial stabilization for trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses during business hours.
Microchipping
We implant ISO-standard microchips between pets' shoulder blades for permanent identification. This minimally invasive procedure creates a lifelong link between pets and owners, increasing recovery rates for lost animals compared to traditional collars and tags.
Surgery
Our surgical services encompass spays/neuters, mass removals, and wound repairs under monitored anesthesia. We follow strict preoperative screening and postoperative care protocols, with pain management plans for all procedures. Complex orthopedic cases receive specialist referrals.
