Services
Pet Dentistry
Our comprehensive dental services prevent and treat oral diseases that can impact pets' overall health. We provide scaling, polishing, digital radiographs, and extractions using advanced equipment. Early intervention helps prevent systemic issues affecting heart and kidney function. Regular cleanings maintain oral health for dogs and cats.
Rehabilitation Therapy
Specialized rehabilitation programs combine underwater treadmill therapy, therapeutic laser, and customized exercises to improve mobility. We treat post-surgical patients, geriatric pets, and animals with neurological conditions. Our heated therapy pool allows therapist-patient interaction during sessions. This approach facilitates faster recovery and enhanced quality of life.
Acupuncture Services
Certified veterinary acupuncturist Dr. Amy Twardzik administers treatments for chronic pain and neurological conditions. Thin needles stimulate biological pathways to manage pain and promote healing. This non-invasive therapy addresses mobility issues and internal disorders through natural mechanisms, complementing traditional treatments.
In-Patient Care
24/7 inpatient care features dedicated ICU spaces and separate wards for dogs and cats. Our team continuously monitors hospitalized patients while providing comfort-focused treatment. Medical boarding options maintain continuity of care for pets requiring extended observation and treatment during recovery periods.
Laboratory Services
On-site laboratory facilities enable rapid bloodwork and diagnostic testing crucial for early disease detection. We perform comprehensive screenings that identify treatable conditions before symptoms appear. Reference lab partnerships ensure accurate analysis of specialized tests, supporting timely diagnosis and treatment decisions.
