Comprehensive dental services include cleanings, extractions, and oral health assessments. We use anesthesia for thorough examinations and treat periodontal disease. Digital dental x-rays help diagnose hidden issues affecting pets' overall health.
Emergency Service
Emergency care is available through our coalition partners after regular hours. Critical cases receive immediate attention while routine emergencies transfer to Washington State University's veterinary hospital after 9pm.
Diagnostics
On-site laboratory facilities enable rapid blood work, urinalysis, and fecal exams. Digital x-ray technology assists in diagnosing internal issues while specialized equipment supports comprehensive health evaluations for early disease detection.
