Services
Bloodwork
Our in-house diagnostic lab provides rapid blood testing for dehydration, anemia, infections, and organ function. We analyze red and white blood cell counts to detect conditions like polycythemia and immune deficiencies. This immediate access to results enables faster treatment decisions for sick pets while minimizing stress from multiple facility visits.
Dental Care
We offer comprehensive dental services including annual cleanings, tartar removal, and periodontal disease treatment. Our technicians identify early signs of dental issues through oral exams and radiographs. We provide home care guidance for plaque prevention and treat advanced cases of gum disease that could affect pets' heart, liver, and kidney health.
Euthanasia
Our compassionate team guides pet owners through end-of-life decisions with private consultations about chronic pain, mobility loss, and quality-of-life indicators. We offer sedation options for transport and peaceful in-office euthanasia procedures with post-care options including cremation services and take-home memorials.
Microchipping
We implant rice-sized microchips between pets' shoulder blades for permanent identification. This quick injection procedure creates a lifelong link to owner contact information through national registries. We emphasize registration importance as unregistered chips cannot reunite lost pets with families.
Wellness Checkups
Annual examinations track pets' health metrics and detect early disease signs. Our veterinarians assess weight, dental health, and organ function while discussing behavioral changes. Puppies/kittens receive developmental monitoring while seniors get age-specific screenings for mobility issues and organ decline.
