Services
General Wellness
Our comprehensive wellness exams detect health issues early through physical assessments and diagnostic screening. We create customized vaccination schedules and parasite prevention plans for dogs and cats of all life stages. Annual checkups include dental evaluations and nutritional counseling to maintain optimal pet health.
Dentistry
We provide professional dental cleanings under anesthesia with ultrasonic scaling and polishing. Our dental services include extractions, periodontal treatment, and oral cancer screenings. Regular dental care prevents systemic infections and maintains overall pet wellness through improved oral hygiene.
Diagnostic Services
In-house laboratory capabilities enable rapid bloodwork, urinalysis, and parasite identification. Digital radiography produces high-resolution images for diagnosing fractures, arthritis, and internal organ conditions. These diagnostic tools support accurate treatment planning for acute and chronic health issues.
Soft Tissue Surgery
Our surgical services include spays/neuters, mass removals, and wound repairs. Pre-anesthetic blood testing ensures patient safety during procedures. Post-operative care involves pain management and laser therapy to accelerate healing for soft tissue operations.
Laser Therapy
Class IV laser treatments reduce inflammation and promote tissue regeneration without medication side effects. This non-invasive therapy benefits pets with arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and chronic pain conditions. Treatment plans are customized based on individual patient needs.
