Services
PAW Wellness Plans
Our PAW Wellness Plans provide structured preventive care for pets at every life stage through monthly payments. These comprehensive packages cover routine exams, vaccinations, lab tests, and dental cleanings while offering discounts on additional services. Designed to spread veterinary costs evenly across the year, they help pet owners budget for essential care without unexpected expenses.
Dentistry
Annual dental exams and cleanings protect pets from oral diseases that impact overall health. Our veterinary dentistry services include professional teeth cleaning, oral diagnostics, and treatment for periodontal conditions. Regular dental maintenance prevents pain and systemic infections while extending pets' lifespans through improved oral hygiene.
Diagnostic Imaging
We offer in-house diagnostic imaging including X-rays and ultrasound for rapid assessment of injuries and illnesses. Radiography identifies skeletal issues and internal organ abnormalities, while ultrasounds provide detailed views of soft tissues like the heart and abdominal organs. These technologies enable accurate diagnoses for timely treatment planning.
Surgery
Our surgical services cover soft tissue procedures for injuries, infections, and chronic conditions. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures patient safety, while advanced monitoring supports recovery. From routine spaying/neutering to complex abdominal surgeries, we maintain strict sterility protocols and post-operative pain management for optimal outcomes.
Pain Management
Non-invasive laser therapy reduces pain and inflammation for pets recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions. This drug-free treatment accelerates healing by stimulating cellular regeneration, particularly effective for post-operative care, arthritis, and soft tissue injuries. Combined with traditional approaches, it enhances comfort without pharmaceutical dependency.
