Services
Wellness Exams
Our wellness exams assess pets' overall health through physical evaluations and preventive screenings. These routine visits help detect early signs of illness and maintain optimal health. Services include weight monitoring, dental checks, and vaccination updates tailored to each pet's needs.
Surgical Procedures
We perform spay/neuter operations and other surgical treatments in a controlled environment with pre-operative assessments. Patients receive post-operative care instructions and follow-up appointments. Our surgical days occur Tuesdays with specific drop-off times for streamlined service.
Diagnostic Testing
Diagnostic services include bloodwork, urinalysis, and fecal exams to identify health conditions. We conduct thyroid panels, glucose curves, and kidney/liver profiles for comprehensive internal assessments. Results guide treatment plans for chronic or acute conditions.
Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque buildup and prevent periodontal disease. The process includes ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and oral examinations under anesthesia. We recommend annual cleanings to maintain pets' dental health and overall well-being.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy treats inflammation and chronic pain through non-invasive light applications. This treatment aids recovery from injuries, arthritis, and post-surgical healing. Sessions are customized based on pets' conditions and response to therapy.
