Services
Preventative Care
Our preventative care program includes annual exams and screening tests to extend pets' lifespans. Early detection of diseases through comprehensive physical examinations helps prevent serious health issues. Regular check-ups with personalized vaccination schedules ensure pets maintain optimal health throughout their lives.
Parvovirus Treatment
We specialize in diagnosing and treating parvovirus through physical exams and laboratory testing. Our treatment protocols include fluid therapy, antibiotics, and supportive care for puppies and adult dogs. Preventative vaccination programs help protect pets from this potentially fatal virus.
Puppy Vaccinations
Our vaccination schedule begins at 6-8 weeks with core vaccines like distemper and parvovirus. We follow AVMA-recommended protocols with boosters every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks. Non-core vaccines are tailored to individual lifestyle risk factors for comprehensive disease prevention.
Senior Pet Care
Biannual wellness exams for pets over 7 years include blood work, pain assessment, and age-related disease screening. Our comprehensive geriatric care addresses arthritis, organ function changes, and mobility issues to maintain quality of life in aging companions.
Dental Services
We offer complete dental care including ultrasonic scaling, extractions, and digital radiography. Our anesthetized dental cleanings prevent periodontal disease while fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel. Post-operative pain management ensures patient comfort during recovery.
