Annual Check Up
Annual checkups monitor pet health through physical exams, medical history reviews, and preventive screenings. We assess vital signs, coat condition, and organ function to detect early disease signs. These exams include vaccinations, parasite control, and tailored nutrition advice for pets of all ages.
Dermatology
Our dermatology services diagnose and treat skin allergies, infections, and ear conditions in pets. We perform skin scrapings, allergy tests, and prescribe medications or dietary changes. Early treatment prevents secondary infections and alleviates discomfort from chronic scratching or irritation.
Heartworm Prevention
Heartworm prevention involves monthly medications to protect pets from mosquito-borne parasites. We offer chewable tablets and injections to kill larvae before they mature. Regular testing ensures existing infections are treated promptly with melarsomine injections and antibiotics.
Reptile Medicine
Specialized reptile care includes diagnosing mouthrot, shedding issues, and respiratory infections. We provide habitat advice, nutritional counseling, and treatments for bacterial or parasitic conditions. Our team addresses species-specific needs for snakes, lizards, and turtles.
Emergency Services
Emergency services address critical conditions like trauma, poisoning, or severe illness during office hours. We stabilize pets with IV fluids, pain management, and diagnostics. For after-hours emergencies, we refer clients to the Animal Emergency and Specialty Center.
