Services
Wellness Visits
Our wellness visits include comprehensive physical exams, vaccinations, and preventative care to maintain your pet's health. We conduct thorough evaluations from nose to tail, check organ systems, administer necessary vaccines, and discuss nutrition and behavior. Annual exams are critical for early detection of potential health issues and maintaining long-term wellbeing.
Urgent Care
We provide extended-hour urgent care for pet emergencies including vomiting, diarrhea, injuries, and unusual behavior. Our team is equipped to handle same-day sick visits for diagnosis and treatment. We're available for unexpected pet health crises during our extended operating hours on weekdays and weekends.
Dentistry
Our dental services include routine cleanings, extractions, and oral surgery for pets. We utilize dental radiography to detect hidden problems beneath the gumline. Regular dental care prevents infections, discomfort, and systemic health issues while improving your pet's overall quality of life through proper oral hygiene.
Blood Work
We offer comprehensive in-house blood testing and collaborate with external labs for detailed diagnostic panels. Our services include complete blood counts, chemistry profiles, urinalysis, and specialized testing for conditions like heartworm and thyroid disorders. Rapid diagnostics help us quickly identify health issues and determine effective treatment plans.
Pharmacy
Our full-service pharmacy provides immediate access to prescription medications and preventatives for pets. We offer heartworm, flea, and tick control products with expert recommendations based on your pet's lifestyle. Our pharmacy ensures proper storage and accurate dosing while offering detailed instructions on medication administration and side effects management.
