Services
Exams and Consultations
Our comprehensive exams begin with lifestyle discussions followed by nose-to-tail physical evaluations. We emphasize preventative care through annual wellness checks that monitor weight, mobility, and organ function. Senior pets receive specialized monitoring for age-related conditions while all patients benefit from our patient-paced, treat-based approach to reduce examination stress.
Dentistry
We perform dental cleanings and extractions under monitored anesthesia with IV fluid therapy. Our procedures include pre-operative assessment, intraoperative monitoring via EKG and pulse oximetry, and post-operative pain management. We recommend regular dental maintenance to prevent periodontal disease and offer oral supplements to support ongoing oral health.
Surgery
Our mobile clinic handles routine surgeries requiring minimal aftercare, including spays, neuters, and mass removals. We provide pre-operative consultations, intraoperative monitoring, and post-operative care instructions. For complex cases needing specialized recovery, we coordinate with board-certified surgeons at referral hospitals.
Vaccinations
We create personalized vaccine schedules based on age, lifestyle, breed, and health history. Our protocols balance disease prevention with risk assessment, including core vaccinations like rabies while considering individual exposure factors. We document all vaccinations and provide reminders for required booster shots.
Microchipping
We implant ISO-standard microchips between shoulder blades using needle injection. This permanent identification remains effective even if collars break. We emphasize registration with the chip provider and recommend periodic contact information updates to ensure successful pet recovery if lost.
