Services
Veterinary Surgical Services
We perform spay/neuter procedures, orthopedic repairs, wound treatments, and emergency surgeries. Our team uses modern anesthesia protocols and provides post-operative care instructions. Surgeries require morning drop-off with same-day or overnight recovery options based on procedure complexity.
Preventative Care
Annual exams include physical evaluations, vaccination updates, and blood work recommendations. Our preventative approach detects early health issues and maintains pet wellness through customized care plans for animals of all ages.
Dental Cleanings
Professional dental care addresses periodontal disease through scaling, polishing, and extractions when needed. We use anesthesia for thorough cleanings and provide home care guidance to maintain oral health between visits.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our clinic offers digital radiography, ultrasound, and thermal imaging for internal evaluations. These non-invasive tools help diagnose lameness, monitor healing, and detect abnormalities without sedation requirements.
Pet Boarding
Secure boarding facilities accommodate dogs and cats with twice-daily feeding and cleaning. We offer multi-pet accommodations and optional grooming services during stays. Staff monitors animals throughout business hours and after.
