Services
Preventive Care
Our preventive care services include annual exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention to maintain optimal pet health. We recommend year-round flea, tick, and heartworm prevention to protect against common regional threats. Our wellness plans help detect potential issues early through routine bloodwork and physical examinations.
Surgical Procedures
We perform spays, neuters, and complex surgeries like tumor removals and orthopedic procedures. Our surgical suite features gas anesthesia, IV fluid pumps, and monitoring equipment. Board-certified specialists visit our clinic for advanced orthopedic cases, ensuring pets receive expert care without long-distance travel.
Dental Services
Our dental care includes ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and extractions under anesthesia. Full-mouth x-rays help identify hidden dental disease below the gumline. Regular dental cleanings prevent systemic health issues that can arise from untreated oral infections in pets.
Laboratory Testing
We offer in-house bloodwork, urinalysis, and parasite testing with results available within 12-24 hours. Our progesterone testing supports breeding management, while comprehensive panels assess organ function and detect tick-borne diseases common in northern Minnesota.
Radiology
Digital x-ray technology provides immediate imaging for faster diagnosis of fractures, internal obstructions, and organ abnormalities. We can share images electronically with board-certified radiologists for specialized interpretation when complex cases require expert analysis.
