Services
Wellness Exams
Our in-home wellness exams provide comprehensive health assessments for cats and dogs using advanced diagnostics. We utilize IDEXX Laboratories for blood work and parasite checks to detect early-stage illnesses. Preventive treatments like flea prevention and chronic disease management are included during visits.
Vaccinations
We administer core and lifestyle-based vaccinations to protect pets from preventable diseases. Our team provides education on vaccination schedules and offers the 3-year feline Rabies vaccine. Travel health certificates are available for domestic and international trips.
Microchipping
Our minimally invasive microchipping procedure ensures permanent pet identification. Using sterile techniques, we implant rice-sized chips under the skin for secure identification, reducing risks of pets becoming lost or unidentifiable.
Senior Pet Care
Specialized supportive care for aging pets includes fluid therapy, injections, and chronic disease management. We address conditions like arthritis and diabetes while utilizing portable diagnostics for in-home care and partnering with clinics for complex cases.
Euthanasia
Compassionate in-home euthanasia services provide peaceful farewells for pets. We offer quality-of-life consultations and second opinions, ensuring families make informed decisions in comfortable, private environments with personalized memorials.
