Services
Orthopedic Surgery
Our hospital specializes in advanced orthopedic procedures including cruciate repair, patellar luxation correction, and bone plating. Using modern surgical techniques and equipment, we treat complex fractures and joint conditions to restore mobility and reduce pain. Our experience with these procedures spans decades, ensuring optimal outcomes for pets requiring skeletal interventions.
In-House Lab
We offer comprehensive in-house laboratory services for rapid diagnosis of medical conditions. Our facilities handle blood work panels, thyroid screening, phenobarbital level testing, and pancreatic assessments with 30-minute turnaround times. This immediate access to diagnostic results enables prompt treatment decisions for critical patient care.
Laser Therapy
Our veterinary laser therapy services reduce surgical bleeding, minimize post-operative swelling, and accelerate recovery times. This technology provides effective pain management while promoting tissue healing. We utilize this advanced modality for both surgical procedures and chronic condition management to improve patient comfort and outcomes.
House Calls
We provide home visit services for pets with mobility challenges or owners unable to transport their animals. Our mobile veterinary care includes consultations, basic treatments, and condition assessments in the pet's familiar environment. This service ensures continued medical attention for animals requiring special handling considerations.
Reproductive Services
Our reproductive care program includes artificial insemination, semen implantation, and cesarean sections for breeding dogs. With extensive experience in canine reproduction, we support breeders through pregnancy management and neonatal care. These specialized services address both planned breeding programs and emergency obstetric situations.
