Services
Dental Cleanings
Our dental cleanings include ultrasonic scaling, hand scaling, polishing, and sealant application to maintain oral health. We recommend annual procedures to prevent periodontal disease and systemic complications. Digital dental X-rays help identify hidden issues requiring extraction.
Therapy Laser
The therapy laser reduces inflammation, manages chronic pain, and accelerates wound healing for conditions like arthritis and injuries. Treatments require no sedation and last 10-30 minutes. This non-invasive option complements traditional medical therapies.
Exotic Pet Care
Our experienced staff treats reptiles, birds, rabbits, and pocket pets with specialized medical and husbandry guidance. We address species-specific nutritional needs and provide preventive care tailored to exotic animals' unique physiology and care requirements.
In-House Blood Work
We offer complete blood counts, chemistry panels, urinalysis, and coagulation testing for rapid diagnosis. Emergency cases benefit from immediate results, while complex tests can be sent to specialized labs for expanded analysis capabilities.
Vaccinations
Core vaccinations are administered alongside annual physical exams to protect against common infectious diseases. We create customized vaccine schedules based on age, lifestyle, and risk factors for puppies, kittens, and adult pets.
