Wellness/Preventive Care
Annual examinations detect early disease indicators through comprehensive physical assessments. Our preventative programs include parasite control, microchipping, nutritional counseling, and customized vaccination schedules tailored to each pet's lifestyle and risk factors. Client education emphasizes home care techniques for dental hygiene, behavioral monitoring, and weight management to maintain optimal health.
In-House Laboratory
Advanced diagnostic capabilities enable same-day results for bloodwork, urinalysis, and parasite screening using state-of-the-art equipment. We perform complete blood counts, serum chemistry panels, thyroid testing, and infectious disease screening while offering specialized services like automated urinalysis and fecal floatation analysis. This rapid diagnostic capability supports immediate treatment decisions and wellness baseline establishment.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include ultrasonic scaling, polishing, radiographs, and surgical extractions under gas anesthesia. Our approach combines professional cleanings with client education on home care techniques like tooth brushing and dental chews. Mobile dental equipment allows treatment of equine patients on-farm while emphasizing preventative care to avoid systemic health complications from periodontal disease.
Vaccinations
Customized vaccination protocols protect against core and lifestyle-specific diseases for canines, felines, equines, and livestock. We administer rabies, distemper, and leptospirosis vaccines while offering optional protection against bordetella and lyme disease. Each program considers prior vaccination history, exposure risks, and species-specific requirements to optimize immune protection and compliance with local regulations.
Diagnostic Imaging
Portable ultrasound technology enables non-invasive internal organ evaluation for both small and large animals. This mobile capability supports on-farm diagnostics for equine and livestock patients while in-clinic services assist with soft tissue evaluations, pregnancy detection, and disease progression monitoring. Imaging complements laboratory findings to create comprehensive diagnostic assessments for accurate treatment planning.
