Services
Wellness Exams
Our wellness exams include nose-to-tail physical evaluations, vaccinations, and parasite prevention tailored to your pet's age and health status. We recommend annual checkups for most pets, with increased frequency for seniors or young animals. Early detection of health issues through routine exams helps maintain longevity and quality of life while reducing long-term treatment costs.
Surgical Procedures
Our surgical suite provides spays/neuters, biopsies, dental extractions, and general surgeries with anesthesia monitoring. Pre-operative consultations explain procedures and recovery expectations. Post-operative care involves detailed home instructions and monitoring for complications. We emphasize pain management and follow-up evaluations to ensure proper healing for all surgical patients.
Dental Care
Dental services include cleaning, radiography, extractions, and periodontal disease management under anesthesia. We educate owners on at-home care techniques and offer specialized toothpaste and dental chews. Regular dental exams prevent systemic infections while maintaining oral comfort and function for pets of all ages.
Pet Boarding
Our boarding facility offers climate-controlled accommodations for dogs and cats with daily exercise and enrichment. Dogs receive three leash-walks daily, while cats stay in a separate quiet area. We accommodate special dietary needs and medication administration with prior arrangements. Vaccination requirements ensure a safe environment for all boarding pets.
Diagnostic Laboratory
In-house laboratory capabilities include bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal exams, and CBC testing for rapid diagnosis. These services help identify infections, organ dysfunction, and parasitic infestations. Results guide treatment decisions without waiting for external lab processing, enabling timely interventions for critical conditions.
