Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness programs include physical exams, parasite testing, vaccinations, and blood work to maintain pet health. These preventative measures help identify potential issues before they become serious conditions. Annual checkups are crucial for maintaining your pet's long-term health and wellbeing.
Acupuncture Therapy
Certified veterinary acupuncturists use needle insertion to stimulate healing for pets with inflammation or chronic pain. This therapy effectively treats arthritis, nerve injuries, and degenerative diseases. Our TCVM-certified practitioners combine this traditional method with modern veterinary medicine for holistic treatment.
Laser Therapy
We utilize Class IV laser therapy for pain management and accelerated healing without surgery or medication. This treatment effectively reduces inflammation, speeds recovery, and manages chronic conditions like arthritis. Most patients experience improved mobility and comfort after multiple treatment sessions.
Surgical Services
Our facility offers soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries for various medical conditions. We perform spays, neuters, tumor removals, and fracture repairs with modern surgical techniques. Post-operative care includes pain management and monitoring for optimal recovery outcomes.
Diagnostic Services
We conduct in-house lab testing, radiography, ultrasounds, and EKGs to diagnose pet health conditions. Our Antech reference laboratory partnership ensures accurate blood testing with daily sample pickups. These diagnostic tools help create effective treatment plans for sick or injured pets.
