Services
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams detect early health issues through comprehensive checks of teeth, eyes, ears, heart, and organ function. Tailored to age and breed, these visits include lab tests and fecal checks to prevent illness. Our team educates owners on monitoring subtle changes in pet behavior or health.
Vaccinations
Customized vaccine plans protect against core diseases like rabies and parvovirus, plus non-core risks based on lifestyle. We use risk assessments to avoid over-vaccination, ensuring safety with extended protocols while adhering to AAHA guidelines for feline and canine patients.
Dental Care
Dental cleanings with X-rays remove plaque and prevent systemic infections. Services include ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and extractions under anesthesia. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures safety, while post-care guidance helps owners maintain oral hygiene at home.
Diagnostic Imaging
Digital radiography and ultrasound provide rapid, detailed internal organ images with reduced radiation. These tools diagnose fractures, tumors, and heart conditions. In-house lab results available within 8 minutes support timely treatment decisions for critical cases.
Surgery
Procedures range from spays/neuters to complex orthopedic and soft-tissue surgeries. Anesthesia uses Sevoflurane for precise control, with IV fluids and monitoring. Pain management includes opioids and NSAIDs pre-, during, and post-op, ensuring patient comfort during recovery.
