Services
Pet Dental Care
Our dental care services prevent and treat oral health issues in pets. Annual wellness exams include dental evaluations to detect early signs of disease. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, while treatments address infections or damaged teeth. Regular dental care prevents systemic health problems affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. We also provide home care guidance to maintain oral hygiene between visits.
Orthopedic Surgery
We specialize in orthopedic procedures to restore mobility in pets with musculoskeletal injuries or degenerative conditions. Treatments include fracture repairs, ACL tear corrections, and hip dysplasia management. Advanced surgical techniques alleviate pain from arthritis or joint disorders. Post-operative care plans ensure proper recovery, with follow-up monitoring to maintain long-term mobility and comfort for active pets.
Parasite Prevention
Our parasite prevention programs protect pets from fleas, ticks, and internal worms. Customized treatment plans use oral medications, topical solutions, or collars to prevent infestations. We educate owners on environmental control measures to eliminate breeding grounds. Regular screenings detect early signs of parasitic infections, ensuring timely interventions to maintain pet health and prevent zoonotic disease transmission.
Microchipping
Permanent microchip implantation ensures pet recovery if lost. The rice-sized chip stores a unique ID linked to owner contact information in a secure database. The quick, minimally invasive procedure provides lifelong identification security. We register chips with national pet recovery networks and update contact details as needed to maximize reunification chances for lost or stolen pets.
Exotic Pet Care
Our veterinarians provide medical care for exotic pets including reptiles, small mammals, and birds. Services cover routine wellness exams, dietary consultations, and species-specific disease prevention. We address unique health concerns for animals like chinchillas, tortoises, and tegus. Diagnostic capabilities include bloodwork and imaging tailored to exotic species' physiological needs.
