General Examinations
Our comprehensive physical exams assess heart, lungs, skin, eyes, and ears while allowing discussions about health concerns. We provide tailored diagnostic testing and treatment plans for both healthy and sick pets. Established patients benefit from our continuous care approach that tracks health changes over time.
Vaccination Services
We offer complete vaccination protocols for dogs and cats including rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia. Our vaccines follow AAHA guidelines to protect against common diseases while maintaining proper documentation for boarding and travel requirements. Annual boosters help maintain your pet's disease resistance.
Surgical Procedures
Our surgical services include spay/neuter operations, dental procedures, and mass removals. We implement strict safety protocols with pre-anesthetic blood testing and continuous monitoring during procedures. Post-operative care includes pain management plans tailored to each patient's recovery needs.
Dental Care
Professional teeth cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup while dental radiography identifies hidden oral health issues. We perform extractions when necessary and provide home care recommendations to maintain optimal dental hygiene between professional visits.
Grooming Services
Full grooming packages include bathing, blow drying, haircuts, nail trimming, and anal gland expression. Our experienced groomer Amber provides gentle handling for nervous pets while offering bath-only options and additional services like teeth brushing and nail grinding for specific needs.
