Services
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams detect health issues early through physical exams, blood tests, and vaccinations. These visits establish baseline health metrics and address concerns about diet, behavior, and parasite prevention. Preventive care extends pets' lifespans by catching diseases like diabetes or kidney disease in early stages when treatment is most effective.
Senior Pet Care
Bi-annual exams for pets over seven years old monitor age-related conditions like arthritis and organ dysfunction. Dental assessments and blood tests identify hidden illnesses. We provide pain management strategies and lifestyle adjustments to maintain comfort during pets' golden years, ensuring early intervention for chronic conditions.
Vaccinations
Core and non-core vaccines protect against rabies, distemper, and parvovirus, following AAHA guidelines. Booster schedules maintain immunity while lifestyle assessments determine additional vaccine needs. Preventive immunizations shield pets from contagious diseases, reducing treatment costs and protecting public health through rabies control.
Teeth Cleaning
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup using ultrasonic scaling and polishing. Digital X-rays detect subgingival issues, while extractions address severely diseased teeth. We educate owners on home care techniques to prevent periodontal disease, which can cause systemic infections affecting heart and kidney function.
Surgical Procedures
We perform spays, neuters, and soft-tissue surgeries with pre-anesthetic bloodwork and vital sign monitoring. Pain management protocols ensure post-operative comfort. Advanced equipment enables complex procedures like tumor removals and hernia repairs, maintaining surgical safety standards comparable to human medical practices.
