Services
Pet Dentistry
Our dental specialists address periodontal disease using digital radiology and advanced treatment protocols. We recommend annual cleanings for pets over two years old, offering pain management and home care guidance. Our team stages oral health conditions and develops customized treatment plans to prevent tooth loss and systemic health issues caused by untreated dental disease.
Digital Radiology
Equipped with state-of-the-art digital x-ray technology, we provide rapid imaging for chest, abdominal, and orthopedic diagnostics. This system reduces radiation exposure while delivering high-resolution images for accurate diagnosis of internal conditions, fractures, and organ abnormalities, enabling immediate treatment decisions without waiting for film development.
Luxury Boarding
Our climate-controlled boarding facility offers separate dog and cat accommodations with multiple play sessions daily. Rooms include premium bedding and personalized feeding schedules. Continuous health monitoring, immediate veterinary access, and text updates ensure pet safety. We require up-to-date vaccinations and preventative treatments for all boarding guests to maintain facility health standards.
Pet Surgery
Board-certified surgeons perform spays, neuters, and complex procedures like cruciate repairs using laparoscopic techniques. Patients receive pre-anesthetic bloodwork, intravenous fluids, and microchipping. Continuous monitoring of vital signs during procedures ensures optimal safety. Post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up examinations to support full recovery.
Adoption Program
Partnering with local rescue organizations, we facilitate cat and dog adoptions through a structured process. Our veterinary team screens animals for health issues and prepares them for adoption with vaccinations and spay/neuter services. Potential adopters complete applications and consult with staff to ensure proper pet-owner matches, promoting long-term adoption success.
