Pet Boarding
Our veterinarian-supervised boarding facility provides safe, comfortable accommodations for dogs and cats during owner travel. We maintain strict vaccination requirements for all boarded pets to ensure herd health. Each guest receives individualized attention, scheduled exercise periods, and separate housing for species-specific comfort while enjoying convenient access to emergency veterinary care if needed.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include professional cleaning, digital radiography, and extractions performed under monitored anesthesia. We assess oral health during wellness exams and offer preventive care education. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures safe procedures, while post-operative care packages contain dental hygiene products and instructions for maintaining oral health between professional cleanings.
Vaccinations
We administer core and non-core vaccinations according to AAHA guidelines for dogs, cats, and select exotic species. Vaccine protocols consider each pet's lifestyle, age, and exposure risks. Documentation meets travel requirements, while regular booster schedules maintain immunity against infectious diseases. Our team explains vaccine benefits and potential adverse reactions during wellness consultations.
