Services
General Wellness Care
Our wellness care program includes comprehensive physical exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention. We assess pets' overall health through body condition evaluations and organ system checks. Annual lab testing helps detect early-stage diseases, while personalized nutrition and exercise plans optimize long-term health. Our team educates owners on home care techniques and age-specific needs.
Pet Dental Care
We provide complete dental services from routine cleanings to complex oral surgeries. Our COHAT procedures include digital X-rays, tartar removal, and extractions when needed. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures patient safety during dental procedures. Post-operative care instructions help maintain oral health between professional cleanings, preventing systemic complications from periodontal disease.
In-house Laboratory
Our on-site lab delivers rapid diagnostic results for urgent cases. We perform complete blood counts, chemistry panels, and electrolyte testing to assess organ function. Point-of-care SNAP tests detect infectious diseases, while microscopic analysis identifies parasites and skin conditions. Immediate results enable prompt treatment decisions for critically ill patients.
Surgical Procedures
Our surgical services include spays/neuters, mass removals, and soft tissue procedures. Pre-surgical evaluations with lab testing minimize anesthetic risks. Patients receive IV catheterization and continuous monitoring during procedures. Post-operative care includes pain management and detailed recovery instructions for optimal healing outcomes.
Boarding Services
Our climate-controlled boarding facilities accommodate dogs and cats with spacious kennels. Trained staff provides medication administration and special diet management. Dogs receive daily exercise periods, while cats stay in quiet, separate housing. Bathing and nail trims are available during boarding stays to maintain pets' comfort and hygiene.
