Services
Acupuncture
Our certified practitioners use traditional Chinese veterinary medicine to treat chronic conditions through needle insertion. This FDA-recognized therapy improves circulation and releases pain-relieving endorphins. Pets benefit from non-invasive treatment for arthritis, nerve injuries, and chronic pain while maintaining typical activities. Most patients show improvement within 4-6 sessions combined with western medical approaches.
Veterinary Dermatology
Expert diagnosis and treatment of pet skin conditions including allergies and infections. We identify environmental and food-related triggers through specialized testing. Treatment plans combine dietary adjustments, medicated baths, and targeted therapies for conditions like mange and ringworm. Our approach reduces itching and secondary infections while improving overall skin health through customized long-term management strategies.
Exploratory Surgery
Advanced surgical procedures for diagnosing complex internal conditions when non-invasive methods fail. Our board-certified surgeons perform foreign body removals, organ biopsies, and gastric dilatation treatments using modern anesthetic monitoring. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery guidance. This critical intervention helps identify tumors, intestinal blockages, and organ dysfunction requiring immediate treatment.
Food Therapy
Customized dietary plans based on traditional Chinese medicine principles. Our certified food therapist creates recipes addressing individual health conditions while maintaining nutritional balance. This preventive approach manages chronic diseases like kidney failure and diabetes without pharmaceutical side effects. Treatment considers pet age, breed, and environmental factors to optimize long-term wellness through balanced nutrition.
Low Stress Handling
Certified techniques minimizing anxiety during veterinary visits. Specially trained staff use gentle restraint and comforting environments to create positive experiences. Cats receive separate waiting areas, while dogs benefit from floor examinations and personalized interaction. This approach reduces trauma for nervous pets while enabling thorough medical assessments in a calm, cooperative setting.
