Services
Surgery
Our surgical procedures utilize state-of-the-art monitoring equipment, including electrocardiogram and SpO2 tracking, to ensure patient safety. Experienced veterinary technicians oversee each case, employing advanced techniques for procedures ranging from spaying/neutering to complex soft-tissue surgeries. The practice emphasizes postoperative comfort through sutured incisions and follow-up care.
Dentistry
Comprehensive dental care addresses periodontal disease, root abscesses, and tooth extractions using digital radiography and high-speed ultrasonic tools. Our staff identifies hidden pain indicators and provides surgical extractions with tissue flaps for optimal healing. Preventative cleanings focus on long-term oral health to avoid systemic complications.
Critical Patient Care
Urgent cases receive priority during open hours, with immediate diagnostics like in-house lab work and radiographs. The clinic offers hospitalization, emergency surgeries, and stabilization for critical conditions such as trauma or toxic exposure. Referrals to 24/7 facilities occur outside operating hours.
Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasounds and FAST scans aid in diagnosing internal injuries or illnesses without invasive procedures. This service, available since 2017, allows for timely detection of effusions, organ abnormalities, and tumors, reducing the need for costly external referrals.
Senior Pet Exams
Tailored senior packages include blood pressure checks, comprehensive bloodwork, and glaucoma screening to detect age-related conditions early. Nutritional counseling and pain management strategies aim to extend quality life years while minimizing treatment costs through bundled diagnostic services.
