Services
Wellness Examinations
Our comprehensive wellness exams include physical assessments, vaccination updates, and parasite screening. For adult pets, we recommend annual exams with core vaccinations like rabies and DHLPP. Puppies and kittens receive tailored vaccine schedules starting at six weeks old to protect against parvo, distemper, and respiratory infections while establishing heartworm prevention protocols.
Class IV Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses therapeutic laser technology to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing. We employ it for post-surgical recovery, arthritis management, and soft tissue injuries. Each 20-minute session promotes cellular regeneration, with treatment plans typically involving six sessions over two weeks for optimal results in managing conditions like hip dysplasia and degenerative joint disease.
Dental Cleanings
Our dental services include professional tartar removal, gum disease prevention, and tooth extraction procedures. Using modern anesthetic protocols and monitoring equipment, we perform thorough cleanings above and below the gum line while offering pre-procedure dental x-rays to identify hidden issues. Regular maintenance helps prevent systemic health problems caused by dental bacteria.
Senior Blood Screening
This diagnostic panel evaluates organ function, thyroid levels, and blood cell counts in pets aged seven years and older. Conducted in-house with rapid results, the screening helps detect early signs of kidney disease, diabetes, and thyroid disorders. We combine these findings with physical exams to create customized care plans addressing age-related conditions like arthritis and vision changes.
Intensive Care Unit
Our isolated ICU provides specialized care for contagious diseases like parvo and upper respiratory infections. The unit features separate ventilation systems to prevent disease transmission while offering dedicated monitoring and treatment spaces. This containment approach allows us to provide aggressive supportive care for infectious cases without compromising other patients' safety.
