Spay/Neuter Surgery
Our state-of-the-art spay/neuter procedures include pre-anesthetic exams, pain management, and electronic monitoring. Performed by experienced veterinarians, these surgeries prevent unwanted litters while offering health benefits. We use dissolvable stitches and provide post-operative care instructions to ensure smooth recoveries for pets of all sizes.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental cleanings include ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and subcutaneous fluids. Our technicians address tartar buildup and gum disease while monitoring anesthesia safety. We treat pets aged five and older with mandatory IV fluids, emphasizing preventive care to avoid systemic health complications from dental disease.
Heartworm Treatment
Our multi-phase heartworm treatment spans 7-8 months using melarsomine injections and doxycycline therapy. The process includes activity restrictions and follow-up testing to ensure complete parasite elimination. We provide detailed cost estimates and pain management throughout this complex medical protocol.
Vaccination Services
We offer core vaccinations for puppies, kittens, and adult pets following AAHA guidelines. Services include rabies, FVRCP, and leukemia vaccines with proper documentation. Our Healthy Pet exams ensure animals qualify for vaccinations while establishing necessary veterinarian-client relationships for ongoing care.
Urgent Medical Care
Our clinic handles urgent cases like parvovirus infections, skin allergies, and chronic condition management. The $45 office visit includes diagnostic recommendations and treatment options. We stabilize critical patients before referring complex emergencies to 24/7 facilities when needed.
