Services
Emergency Care
Our practice provides emergency veterinary services during regular business hours for critical conditions such as poisoning, trauma, or acute illness. Trained staff and veterinarians work efficiently to stabilize pets requiring immediate intervention while guiding owners through the treatment process. We encourage advance notification when possible to prepare for incoming emergencies.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services address preventative and restorative oral health needs for pets. Our offerings include professional cleanings, digital x-rays, periodontal treatments, and tooth extractions when necessary. By maintaining oral hygiene, we help prevent systemic infections and ensure overall well-being for our animal patients through specialized equipment and techniques.
Hip Evaluation
We conduct advanced hip evaluations using OFA and PennHip methodologies to assess joint development in dogs. These diagnostic tools help identify potential mobility issues early, enabling proactive management plans for conditions like hip dysplasia. Our evaluations support breeding programs and guide treatment decisions to improve long-term joint health.
Acupuncture
Veterinary acupuncture services offer non-invasive pain management and wellness support for pets. Our certified team uses traditional Chinese medicine techniques to address chronic conditions, arthritis, and recovery from injuries. This integrative approach complements conventional treatments while promoting natural healing processes in animal patients.
Canine Reproductive Medicine
Specialized canine reproductive services cover the entire breeding cycle, from fertility assessments to pregnancy monitoring and neonatal care. Our expertise includes artificial insemination, hormonal profiling, and genetic screening to ensure healthy litters for responsible breeding programs focusing on breed preservation and improvement.
