Services
Digital X-Ray
Our digital radiology system provides high-resolution images within seconds, enabling precise diagnosis of internal conditions. This technology allows for immediate enlargement and enhancement of images, improving diagnostic accuracy. We can also electronically transmit images to board-certified veterinary radiologists for specialized review when needed. This service supports rapid decision-making for urgent cases and complex health issues.
Veterinary Surgery
We perform a wide range of surgical procedures, from routine spays/neuters to advanced orthopedic and soft tissue operations. Each case receives tailored planning to address the pet's specific needs. Pre-surgical evaluations include comprehensive physical exams and pre-anesthetic blood testing to ensure safety during procedures. Post-operative care incorporates pain management techniques like Class IV laser therapy.
Dentistry
Our dental services include professional cleanings under general anesthesia using ultrasonic scalers and handheld instruments. We address both visible tartar and subgingival plaque to prevent periodontal disease. Post-cleaning care guidance includes home brushing techniques, dental rinses, and specialized diets. We emphasize preventive care to maintain oral health and avoid tooth loss.
Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy reduces joint and soft tissue inflammation, effectively managing chronic pain and post-surgical recovery. Treatments last 3-8 minutes per site without requiring anesthesia. This FDA-approved technology is routinely used after surgeries to minimize discomfort. It provides a non-invasive option for pets with mobility issues or degenerative conditions.
Wellness Exams
Regular wellness examinations allow us to establish health baselines and detect early disease indicators. These checkups include thorough physical assessments tailored to the pet's life stage. We encourage owner participation in healthcare decisions and provide educational resources about nutrition, exercise, and disease prevention. Early intervention strategies help maintain long-term pet wellness.
