Services
Dentistry
Our comprehensive dental services include annual cleanings, digital x-rays, and extractions under general anesthesia. We emphasize preventive care to avoid gum disease complications while providing homecare guidance for pet owners. Bloodwork ensures patient safety during procedures.
Surgery
We perform spay/neuter procedures, soft tissue surgeries, and dental operations. Pre-operative diagnostics assess surgical risks while post-op instructions ensure proper recovery. Complex cases receive referrals to specialized surgeons for optimal outcomes.
Cold Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment accelerates healing for arthritis, wounds, and post-surgical recovery. Sessions last 10-20 minutes without sedation, offering pain relief through increased circulation and cell regeneration for improved mobility.
