Services
Pet Boarding
Our boarding service provides secure, comfortable accommodations for pets when owners travel. With separate dog kennels and cat areas, our trained staff follows strict hygiene protocols. Pets receive regular feeding and medication administration while veterinary professionals remain on-site for health emergencies. The facility accommodates animals of all sizes and breeds.
Veterinary Cardiology
We diagnose and treat heart and lung conditions through advanced diagnostics like digital x-rays, EKGs and ultrasounds. Our specialists identify early indicators of heart disease during wellness exams. Treatment plans address symptoms like persistent coughing and breathing difficulties while monitoring blood pressure and hormone levels.
Pet Dentistry
Our dental services prevent periodontal disease through professional cleanings using ultrasonic scaling technology. We address gingivitis, tooth extractions, and oral infections while educating owners on at-home care. The service includes dental x-rays and sedation options for comprehensive oral health maintenance.
Veterinary Dermatology
We diagnose and manage skin conditions including allergies, infections, and autoimmune disorders. Our dermatologists perform biopsies and allergy testing to identify causes of excessive scratching or hair loss. Treatment plans address both immediate symptoms and long-term skin health maintenance.
Diagnostic Imaging
Digital x-rays and ultrasound technology help us accurately diagnose internal injuries and illnesses. This non-invasive approach identifies fractures, pregnancy status, and organ abnormalities while minimizing radiation exposure. Imaging is performed with patient comfort as priority.
