Services
Dental Care
We offer preventative and surgical dental services for pets, including teeth cleaning, periodontal disease treatment, and extractions. Regular checkups help detect early issues. Our process uses anesthesia for thorough care while ensuring comfort. Digital radiographs identify hidden problems, and post-operative care instructions support recovery.
Elective Surgery
Spay and neuter procedures for cats and dogs, with pre-surgical exams and bloodwork. Prices vary by species and weight. Post-operative pain management included. Optional add-ons like microchipping and therapeutic laser improve recovery and long-term health outcomes.
Ultrasound
Non-invasive abdominal and cardiac ultrasounds detect inflammation, tumors, and heart conditions. Echocardiograms assess valve function and muscle health. This tool aids in diagnosing pregnancies, infections, and chronic diseases, enabling precise treatment plans tailored to each pet's needs.
Dermatology
Treatment for allergies, infections, and skin disorders using cytology, allergy testing, and immunotherapy. We address itching, scabs, and infections through targeted therapies. Collaboration with Heska Allercept ensures customized allergy solutions, improving comfort and quality of life for pets with chronic conditions.
Pet Resort
Our Pet Resort provides a safe, supervised environment for pets during travel. Services include overnight stays, medication administration, and playtime.
