Services
Pet Vaccinations
Pet vaccinations protect dogs and cats from preventable diseases like rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia. We create customized vaccine schedules based on age, health, and lifestyle. Our ULTRA vaccines use smaller volumes for reduced discomfort, and our team educates clients on the critical role of immunity-building in safeguarding pets' long-term health and well-being.
Pet Dentistry
Our dental services include cleanings, extractions, and oral surgery using advanced ultrasonic scalers. We address gum disease stages I-IV and provide preventive strategies like diet advice and Veterinary Oral Health Council-approved products. Pre-anesthetic exams ensure safety, while post-procedure care instructions help maintain oral health between visits to prevent systemic infections.
Pet Surgery
Specialized surgical procedures from spays/neuters to complex abdominal and orthopedic surgeries are performed in-house. Dr. Gail Newcomb leads our surgical team using modern monitoring equipment and heated recovery systems. We conduct pre-operative diagnostics, provide IV pain management, and offer detailed post-surgery care instructions to ensure optimal healing and rapid recovery for pets.
Wellness Care
Annual wellness exams detect early signs of obesity, parasites, or chronic conditions through nose-to-tail assessments. Services include parasite control, nutritional counseling, and age-specific care for puppies, kittens, and seniors. We focus on lifestyle-based parasite prevention and early intervention to maintain long-term health and vitality in pets.
Spay and Neuter
Spay and neuter surgeries improve pets' longevity by preventing cancers and behavioral issues. We personalize procedures based on breed maturity timelines, provide pre-surgical consultations, and post-operative pain management. Recovery guidance includes incision monitoring, activity restrictions, and follow-up care to minimize complications and ensure smooth healing processes.

Questions
What emergency veterinary services are available?
We offer emergency care during regular business hours (Mon-Fri 8a.m.-6p.m.). For urgent after-hours needs, we recommend contacting the nearest 24/7 emergency clinic.
When should pets receive vaccinations?
Puppies/kittens start vaccines at 6-8 weeks, with boosters every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks. Adult pets require annual boosters based on lifestyle risk assessments.
Why is dental care important for pets?
Untreated gum disease affects 90% of pets over 3, potentially causing tooth loss and systemic infections. Regular cleanings and home care prevent these serious health complications.
What are the benefits of spaying/neutering pets?
Spaying/neutering reduces risks of reproductive cancers, prevents unwanted litters, decreases roaming behavior, and often helps manage certain behavioral issues in dogs and cats.
