Services
Stem Cell Therapy
Our hospital offers same-day in-house stem cell regenerative therapy for osteoarthritis in dogs and cats. Using Medi-Vet technology, we harvest and inject adipose stem cells to relieve pain and improve joint mobility. This drug-free treatment typically shows results within three weeks, with benefits including reduced inflammation, tissue repair, and improved range of motion for pets suffering from arthritis.
Cold Laser Therapy
We utilize FDA-approved cold laser therapy to treat chronic and acute pain conditions in pets. This noninvasive treatment reduces inflammation, promotes wound healing, and alleviates discomfort by stimulating cellular regeneration. Our AIMLA-certified technicians tailor treatment plans based on pet size, fur color, and condition severity to maximize therapeutic benefits for arthritis, skin infections, and post-surgical recovery.
Dental Care
Our comprehensive dental services include exams, cleanings, X-rays, and extractions following AVMA guidelines. We emphasize preventive care to combat periodontal disease, offering education on home oral hygiene practices. All procedures use anesthesia with pre-operative blood testing to ensure patient safety while maintaining optimal dental health for companion animals.
Wellness Exams
We recommend annual wellness exams that include complete physical assessments from ear to paw. Senior pets receive biannual evaluations with blood screenings. Our thorough exams cover dental health, internal systems, neurological function, and behavioral counseling to detect early signs of disease and maintain overall pet wellness.
Surgical Services
Our hospital provides a full range of surgical procedures from routine spays/neuters to advanced orthopedic and soft-tissue operations. Equipped with modern facilities, we prioritize patient comfort through skilled anesthesia management. Our surgical specialties include foreign body removal, ophthalmic procedures, and post-operative care to ensure smooth recoveries for companion animals.
