Wellness Exams
We conduct comprehensive wellness exams for all life stages, including new pet evaluations, annual vaccinations, and senior/geriatric care. Our physical assessments cover vital signs, dental health, and organ function, with lab work ordered as needed. Each appointment includes personalized consultations about nutrition, behavior, and preventive care strategies tailored to your pet's specific needs.
Vaccinations
Our vaccination services include core and elective immunizations using non-adjuvanted vaccines for feline patients. We offer rabies (1-year), FVRCP, FeLV, DHPP, leptospirosis, bordetella, rattlesnake, and influenza vaccines. Each visit includes brief wellness assessments to ensure pets remain healthy between annual exams while maintaining strict vaccine safety protocols.
Minor Urgent Care
We treat non-life-threatening conditions requiring timely intervention, including gastrointestinal issues, urinary tract concerns, mild respiratory symptoms, skin infections, and minor injuries. Our approach addresses immediate symptoms while identifying underlying health issues that may require ongoing management through medication or lifestyle adjustments.
Euthanasia
We provide compassionate in-home euthanasia with pre-appointment counseling and sedation options. Our process includes full explanation of procedures, family time with the pet, and cremation coordination. We follow strict protocols to ensure peaceful transitions while supporting pet owners through the emotional process in the comfort of home.
Lab Testing
Our diagnostic capabilities include heartworm screening, feline leukemia/AIDS tests, fecal parasite analysis, and comprehensive bloodwork panels. We perform in-house testing with written interpretations emailed within 2-4 business days, offering both basic wellness screenings and senior-specific diagnostics for early disease detection.
