We perform advanced surgical procedures using modern techniques and monitoring equipment. Our services include soft tissue surgery, orthopedic procedures, and emergency interventions. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures patient safety, while post-operative care focuses on pain management and recovery support for optimal outcomes.
Dentistry
Our dental services range from routine cleanings to complex oral surgeries. Digital dental radiography helps diagnose hidden issues, while ultrasonic scaling and polishing maintain oral health. We treat periodontal disease and perform extractions when necessary, emphasizing the importance of dental care for overall wellness.
Grooming
Professional grooming services include bathing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and coat maintenance. Our certified groomer provides breed-specific styling while monitoring skin and coat condition. Regular grooming sessions help detect abnormalities early and maintain pets' comfort and hygiene.
Stem Cell Therapy
ACTI-STEM Therapy uses a pet's own stem cells to treat arthritis, hip dysplasia, and soft tissue injuries. We harvest stem cells from fat tissue and activate them for targeted healing. This innovative treatment reduces inflammation and promotes tissue regeneration for improved mobility and quality of life.
