Services
Dental Care
Our comprehensive dental care includes gentle cleanings, digital X-rays, and preventive treatments to maintain optimal oral health. We address periodontal disease, tooth extractions, and oral infections using advanced techniques that minimize discomfort. Regular dental maintenance at TLC Vet Care helps prevent systemic health issues linked to poor oral hygiene.
Surgery
We perform routine and complex surgical procedures including spay/neuter, mass removals, and orthopedic repairs on-site. Our sterile surgical suite and monitoring equipment ensure safety during procedures. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery follow-ups to support your pet's healing process.
Digital X-Rays
Digital radiography provides immediate high-resolution images for accurate diagnosis of injuries and internal conditions. This technology allows us to assess fractures, cardiovascular issues, and organ abnormalities efficiently. Minimizing patient movement during imaging ensures clearer results and faster treatment decisions.
Vaccinations
Customized vaccination protocols protect pets against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and other infectious diseases. We recommend core vaccines for all pets and additional protection based on lifestyle and exposure risks. Vaccination records documentation ensures compliance with local regulations and boarding requirements.
Wellness Exams
Annual nose-to-tail examinations detect early signs of disease and monitor weight management. These evaluations include parasite screening, dental assessments, and organ function checks. Preventative care visits help extend pets' lifespans by addressing health concerns before they escalate into serious conditions.
