Services
Teeth Cleaning
Our professional teeth cleaning services prevent and treat dental disease through anesthesia-assisted procedures. We perform full oral exams, dental X-rays, plaque removal, and enamel polishing to maintain oral health. Regular cleanings help prevent systemic infections that could affect vital organs, ensuring pets maintain both oral and overall health.
Vaccinations
We provide tailored vaccination schedules following AAHA guidelines to protect pets from rabies, distemper, and other preventable diseases. Core vaccines like DA2PP for dogs and FVRCP for cats are required, while non-core vaccines such as Lyme disease protection are recommended based on lifestyle and risk factors.
Spay and Neuter
Our spay and neuter surgeries prevent overpopulation while providing health benefits like reduced cancer risks and behavioral improvements. We recommend procedures between 6-9 months for small dogs, with timelines adjusted based on breed and health status to optimize outcomes for each patient.
Internal Medicine
We diagnose and manage chronic illnesses such as diabetes, kidney disease, and heart conditions using specialized approaches. Our team monitors symptoms like appetite changes and lethargy to intervene early, offering treatment plans that improve quality of life for pets with long-term health challenges.
Wellness Care
Annual wellness exams establish health baselines through comprehensive nose-to-tail evaluations and lab testing. These checkups enable early detection of potential issues, while parasite prevention strategies protect against fleas, ticks, and heartworms year-round to maintain pets' long-term health.
