Wellness Care
Regular nose-to-tail exams detect early signs of illness. Our preventive plans include age-specific assessments, vaccinations, and parasite prevention. Annual bloodwork establishes health baselines, allowing timely intervention for conditions like diabetes or kidney disease. Personalized nutrition counseling ensures optimal weight management.
Surgical Procedures
We perform routine and advanced surgeries using state-of-the-art equipment. Pre-anesthetic blood testing ensures safe anesthesia. Procedures include spay/neuter, mass removal, orthopedic repairs, and soft tissue surgeries. Post-operative pain management plans aid recovery while laser therapy accelerates tissue healing.
Urgent Care
Critical care available during business hours for trauma, poisoning, or acute illness. Immediate diagnostics like X-rays and blood analysis guide treatment. For after-hours emergencies, we partner with 24/7 facilities. Conditions requiring urgent attention include breathing difficulties, severe bleeding, or sudden paralysis.
Advanced Care
Internal medicine consultations address complex conditions like heart disease, endocrine disorders, or cancer. We offer acupuncture for chronic pain management and rehabilitation services for post-surgical recovery. Diagnostic imaging includes digital radiology, ultrasound, and endoscopy for precise internal evaluations.
Dentistry
Professional cleanings prevent periodontal disease that affects 92% of dogs over three. Digital dental X-rays reveal hidden tooth root issues. Treatments include scaling, extractions, and oral surgery under monitored anesthesia. Preventive care reduces risks of heart and kidney disease linked to dental bacteria.

Questions
How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
Annual exams are recommended for most pets. Senior animals benefit from biannual checkups. Puppies/kittens require monthly visits during their first year.
Why are professional dental cleanings important for pets?
Regular cleanings prevent periodontal disease, which affects 92% of dogs by age three. Untreated dental infections can lead to systemic issues affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys.
What emergency services are available after hours?
We partner with MedVet Columbus and OSU Veterinary Medical Center for 24/7 critical care. Contact them directly for life-threatening conditions outside our business hours.
At what age should I spay or neuter my pet?
We recommend spaying/neutering at six months. Our veterinarians consider breed-specific factors to determine optimal timing for individual patients.
How does heartworm prevention work?
Monthly preventatives protect against heartworms transmitted by mosquitoes. Dogs require annual testing, while prevention is crucial for cats since no treatment exists for them.
Do you offer telemedicine appointments?
Currently, we focus on in-person consultations for accurate diagnostics. We provide remote follow-up advice for established cases through our client portal systems.
