Services
Preventative Healthcare
Our preventative healthcare services include comprehensive physical exams, vaccination programs, fecal testing, and heartworm prevention. We emphasize early disease detection through routine checkups and diagnostic screening. Our team provides client education about nutrition, dental care, and parasite prevention to maintain optimal pet health.
Diagnostic Imaging
We utilize digital radiology for internal organ assessment and fracture detection, dental X-rays for oral health evaluation, and ultrasound technology for detailed organ imaging. These tools help diagnose conditions affecting the heart, lungs, abdomen, and musculoskeletal system in pets.
Surgical Services
Our surgical suite offers soft tissue and orthopedic procedures using advanced equipment including surgical lasers for reduced bleeding and pain. Services include spay/neuter operations, tumor removal, fracture repair, and specialized procedures like laser surgery for feline declawing and ligasure technology.
In-House Testing
We operate a complete in-house laboratory for rapid blood analysis, including chemistry panels and complete blood counts. The facility offers fecal parasite detection, Tono-Pen eye pressure testing, and specialized snap tests for feline leukemia, FIV, and heartworm disease in pets.
Therapeutic Laser
Cold laser therapy reduces inflammation and manages chronic pain from conditions like arthritis and back injuries. This non-invasive treatment option helps pets heal faster and may reduce medication needs. Our veterinary team applies this technology to improve recovery times for surgical and chronic conditions.
