Emergency Care
We provide emergency veterinary care during business hours for pets in critical condition. Our AAHA-accredited facility maintains advanced equipment and a skilled team ready to stabilize and treat acute illnesses or injuries. For after-hours emergencies, we coordinate with local referral clinics to ensure continuous care.
Dental Care
Our comprehensive dental services prevent and treat periodontal disease through cleanings, digital X-rays, extractions, and polishing. Anesthesia protocols prioritize safety with pre-anesthetic exams and bloodwork. We also recommend home care products to maintain oral health between professional visits.
Diagnostics
On-site labs enable rapid bloodwork, urinalysis, and cytology for accurate diagnoses. Advanced imaging includes digital radiography and ultrasound to evaluate internal organs, bones, and pregnancy. These tools help detect conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, or tumors early.
Exotic Pets
Dr. Snuffer leads our exotic pet care program for reptiles, small mammals, and invertebrates. Services include wellness exams, microchipping, and species-specific treatments. We offer husbandry guidance for snakes, turtles, rabbits, and pocket pets to optimize their unique environmental and nutritional needs.
Holistic Care
Certified veterinary acupuncturists provide pain management through needle therapy for arthritis and mobility issues. Herbal remedies and ozone treatments offer drug-free alternatives for inflammation, infections, and chronic conditions. These methods complement traditional care to enhance recovery and quality of life.
