Services
Wellness Care
Our annual wellness exams help detect health issues early through comprehensive physical exams, bloodwork, and preventive care recommendations tailored to your pet's age and lifestyle. We provide education on nutrition, exercise, and parasite prevention while building a long-term health history for your companion. Regular checkups allow us to monitor chronic conditions and maintain optimal health for pets at every life stage.
Vaccinations
We develop customized vaccination schedules based on your pet's age, health status, and risk factors. Core vaccines include rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia, while non-core vaccines address lifestyle-specific threats like Lyme disease. Our protocols follow American Animal Hospital Association guidelines to ensure proper immunity without over-vaccination.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar through ultrasonic scaling above and below the gumline. For advanced disease, we perform extractions using nerve blocks for pain management. Post-cleaning treatments include fluoride application and OraVet gel to prevent future buildup while managing bacterial infections through antibiotic therapy.
Surgical Services
Our surgical suite handles routine and complex procedures with pre-anesthetic bloodwork, IV catheters, and advanced monitoring. Services include spays/neuters, mass removals, and soft-tissue surgeries. We implement nerve blocks, post-operative pain management, and follow-up exams to ensure proper healing for all surgical patients.
Spay and Neuter
We recommend spaying/neutering based on individual factors like breed and development to prevent reproductive cancers and behavioral issues. Large breeds often wait until 12-18 months for proper joint development, while smaller pets may undergo surgery earlier. Our team provides personalized consultation and post-operative care guidance.
