Services
Wellness Exams
Routine health assessments establish baseline measurements for your pet's biological systems. Early detection of subtle changes allows timely interventions before minor issues become major health threats. Our examinations include vaccination planning and parasite control strategies tailored to your pet's lifestyle and specific needs.
Dental Care
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that causes periodontal disease in pets over three years old. We provide both treatment and home care education to reduce pain, prevent organ disease from bacterial spread, and extend pets' lifespans through improved oral health.
Surgical Procedures
Dr. Jordan Nickerson performs routine and complex procedures with surgical excellence typically found in specialty hospitals. Capabilities include spays/neuters, gastropexy, and other interventions utilizing advanced techniques while maintaining accessible community-based care standards.
Laser Therapy
Cold laser treatments reduce inflammation and accelerate healing for conditions like arthritis, wounds, and post-surgical recovery. Non-invasive light energy interacts with tissue chromophores to stimulate natural healing processes, providing pain relief without pharmaceutical side effects.
Curbside Pickup
Medication and food orders are handled through contactless curbside service with digital payments. This convenience requires 30-minute advance notice to prepare items efficiently while maintaining social distancing protocols and time-saving efficiency for busy pet owners.
