Wellness Care
Our wellness programs focus on maintaining optimal pet health through annual exams and personalized care plans. This includes medical history reviews, nose-to-tail physical exams, and preventive blood work. We develop customized health routines based on each pet's age, breed, and lifestyle factors. Our comprehensive assessments help detect issues early for more effective treatment.
Vaccinations
We provide core and lifestyle-based vaccinations to protect pets against infectious diseases. Our protocols follow AAHA guidelines for canine and feline vaccines. Services include rabies, distemper, FVRCP, and FeLV immunizations. We evaluate each pet's exposure risks to determine appropriate vaccines and administer them according to recommended timelines.
Dental Care
Our dental services include complete oral exams, teeth cleaning, and surgical treatments under sedation. We use OraVet gel for plaque prevention and Clindoral gel for infection control. The process involves pre-surgical blood work, pain management, and post-operative care. Dental radiographs help identify hidden oral health issues affecting overall pet wellness.
Surgery
We perform routine and specialized surgical procedures with advanced safety protocols. Services include spays/neuters, wound repairs, growth removals, and bladder stone treatments. Each patient undergoes pre-anesthetic blood testing and receives individualized anesthetic plans. Continuous monitoring includes EKG, blood pressure, and temperature tracking during procedures.
Emergency Care
Our clinic provides emergency medical services for pets with sudden illnesses or injuries. Available during regular business hours, our emergency care includes rapid assessment, diagnostic testing, and immediate treatment interventions. We maintain equipment and staff training to handle critical cases requiring stabilization and follow-up care.
