Services
Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams include cardiac, dental, and organ evaluations with lab work for early disease detection. We recommend annual visits for preventative care, vaccination updates, and personalized health planning. The exams help maintain consistent medical records and provide owners with tailored pet care advice.
Spay and Neuter
Spay and neuter procedures use sterile surgical techniques with pre-anesthetic blood work and IV catheterization. We tailor timing to each pet's age, breed, and health status. These surgeries prevent reproductive diseases and help control pet overpopulation while improving long-term health outcomes.
Dentistry
Dental services include full sedation, ultrasonic scaling, and polishing with pre-operative blood profiling. We address tartar removal, gum disease prevention, and oral infection management. Digital X-rays help detect hidden dental issues affecting overall pet health and well-being.
Integrative Medicine
Combining Western medicine with acupuncture, herbal therapy, and chiropractic treatments, we offer customized care plans. Our TCVM-certified veterinarians use acupuncture for pain relief and supplements for joint support, immune enhancement, and organ function maintenance for chronic conditions.
Emergency Surgery
Available for critical cases requiring immediate surgical intervention, our emergency services feature 24/7 access to surgical suites with advanced monitoring equipment. The team follows strict protocols for trauma cases, internal bleeding, and acute organ failure with rapid diagnostic assessment and intervention.
