Services
Preventive Care
Our preventive care ensures pets maintain optimal health through annual wellness exams, vaccinations, and early disease detection. We offer tailored parasite prevention plans and nutritional counseling for pets of all ages. Our comprehensive approach includes dental check-ups and behavior assessments to address potential issues before they escalate, ensuring pets remain healthy throughout their lives.
Dentistry
Advanced dental care addresses plaque buildup and periodontal disease through professional cleanings, digital x-rays, and extractions. We utilize anesthetics tailored to pet health needs for safe procedures. Post-operative care includes pain management and home care guidance, preventing systemic infections that could affect heart or kidney health while maintaining fresh breath and healthy teeth.
Diagnostics and Radiology
Digital radiology and in-house diagnostics enable swift, accurate diagnosis of internal issues. Our services include blood testing, urinalysis, and ultrasound imaging. We perform pre-anesthetic bloodwork and specialized tests for conditions like diabetes and kidney disease. This technology supports timely treatment decisions for both urgent and chronic health concerns.
Surgery
We perform routine and complex surgical procedures with advanced monitoring equipment. Services include spays/neuters, mass removals, and emergency bloat surgeries. Our Fear-Free approach minimizes stress through gentle handling techniques. For specialized needs, board-certified surgeons collaborate on orthopedic and complex soft tissue procedures performed directly at our facility.
Senior Pet Care
Specialized senior care addresses age-related conditions through bi-annual exams and tailored treatment plans. We manage arthritis pain using joint supplements and NSAIDs while monitoring kidney and heart health. Nutritional counseling supports changing metabolic needs, and environmental modifications help pets cope with sensory changes, ensuring comfort during their golden years.
