Services
Companion Animal Services
We provide comprehensive medical care for cats and dogs, including wellness exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention. Our team offers surgical procedures using laser technology for reduced discomfort and faster recovery. We also provide dental care, nutritional counseling, and end-of-life services with compassion and dignity.
Large Animal Services
Our practice supports agricultural clients with herd health management, reproductive services, and equine care. We offer on-farm visits for vaccinations, pregnancy diagnosis, and emergency treatment. Our facilities handle large animal hospitalization and provide specialized services like lameness exams and chiropractic treatments.
Obedience Training
Structured training programs help dogs develop basic obedience skills through six-week courses. Led by experienced instructor Nancy Crabtree, classes teach commands like sit, stay, and heel while addressing behavioral issues. We also offer certification programs for therapy dogs and canine good citizens.
Emergency Care
We provide immediate medical attention for pets with acute illnesses or injuries. Our facility maintains diagnostic equipment for rapid assessment and treatment. Veterinarians and technicians work together to stabilize patients and develop effective care plans for critical conditions.
Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses low-level lasers to stimulate healing and reduce pain in animals. Effective for post-surgical recovery and chronic conditions, the therapy promotes tissue regeneration without medication side effects. Sessions are conducted by trained veterinary professionals using specialized equipment.
