Vaccinations
We provide core vaccinations for dogs and cats including rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, FVRCP and FeLV. Our vaccine clinic offers discounted pricing on select immunizations while maintaining strict safety protocols. These preventive measures protect pets against common contagious diseases through regular booster schedules tailored to each animal's lifestyle and risk factors.
Emergency Care
Critical care services are available 6 days weekly for pet emergencies including trauma, poisoning, and acute illness. Our trained staff handles situations like snail bait poisoning, vehicular accidents, and chocolate ingestion with immediate triage and stabilization. While not 24/7, our emergency availability ensures prompt attention during regular business hours with protocols for assessing life-threatening conditions.
Dental Procedures
Comprehensive dental services include cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment using modern veterinary equipment. Our twice-weekly dental specials offer 20% discounts on procedures performed by experienced veterinarians. Regular dental care prevents systemic infections and maintains oral health through scaling, polishing, and thorough oral examinations during routine checkups.
Surgical Services
We perform routine and specialty surgeries including spaying/neutering, mass removals, and orthopedic procedures. Our surgical protocols emphasize patient safety with pre-anesthetic bloodwork, monitored anesthesia, and post-operative care. The facility maintains sterile conditions for both elective and emergency surgical interventions, with separate soft tissue and orthopedic surgery capabilities.
Therapeutic Laser
K-Laser therapy provides non-invasive pain management and accelerated healing for musculoskeletal conditions, wounds, and post-surgical recovery. This technology reduces inflammation and stimulates cellular activity to improve circulation and tissue repair. Treatment plans incorporate therapeutic laser as an adjunct to traditional medical or surgical approaches for chronic or acute conditions in pets.
