Services
Wellness Exams
Regular wellness exams help detect health issues early through comprehensive physical assessments. Our veterinarians evaluate weight, coat condition, dental health, and organ function. These visits include personalized recommendations for diet, exercise, and preventive care tailored to your pet's age and lifestyle.
Dental Care
Our dental services prevent and treat periodontal disease through professional cleanings and oral surgery. We use anesthesia for thorough subgingival scaling and polishing. Annual dental exams are recommended to prevent systemic infections from oral bacteria affecting heart and kidney health.
Emergency Services
We provide immediate veterinary attention for accidents, poisoning, and acute illnesses during operating hours. After-hours emergencies are handled by our partner UrgentVet. Staff perform triage assessments and stabilize critical patients before initiating treatment or transferring to specialty hospitals.
Boarding
Our boarding facility offers 24/7 supervision with multiple dog walks daily and feline-specific quiet areas. Pets receive medication administration, special diet accommodations, and playtime. Vaccination records must be current, and pre-boarding health checks ensure safety for all residents.
Grooming
Full-service grooming includes bathing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and coat styling using hypoallergenic products. We accommodate special requests for breed-specific cuts and maintain sanitary conditions through regular disinfection protocols. Appointments require up-to-date vaccination records for safety.
