Services
Pet Dental
Our AAHA-accredited dental services use digital radiography to detect hidden periodontal disease affecting 80% of pets. We provide comprehensive cleanings with anesthesia monitoring, IV catheterization, and post-operative pain management. Our protocols prevent systemic infections by addressing dental issues before they impact heart or lung health through early intervention.
Integrative Medicine
Combining conventional and alternative treatments, we offer acupuncture, laser therapy, and Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapy. These research-backed methods manage chronic pain, accelerate healing, and improve mobility for pets with arthritis or neurological conditions. Certified practitioners tailor treatments to complement traditional medical approaches for optimal outcomes.
Puppy/Kitten Care
Our juvenile pet program includes developmental assessments, vaccination scheduling, and behavioral guidance during critical growth periods. Veterinarians provide nutrition counseling and parasite prevention strategies while educating owners on housetraining and socialization techniques. Follow-up visits ensure proper growth patterns and early detection of potential health issues.
Pain Management
We develop customized pain relief plans using pharmaceutical and non-invasive treatments like laser therapy. Our proactive approach identifies discomfort sources through comprehensive exams and diagnostic testing. Treatment combinations address acute surgical pain and chronic conditions while monitoring effectiveness through regular patient assessments.
Veterinary Surgery
AAHA-standard surgical protocols include pre-anesthetic bloodwork, dedicated technician monitoring, and multi-modal pain control. We perform routine and complex procedures with safety measures like IV fluid therapy and temperature regulation. Post-operative care features recovery room monitoring, medication management, and detailed home care instructions for optimal healing outcomes.
