Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams include physical evaluations, weight monitoring, and preventive care planning. We recommend annual check-ups for pets under 7 and bi-annual visits for senior animals. These examinations help detect early signs of disease through thorough physical assessments and diagnostic screening. Our veterinarians create customized wellness plans based on each pet's age, breed, and health status.
Vaccinations
We provide core and lifestyle-based vaccination programs to protect pets against preventable diseases. Our protocol includes rabies, distemper, and bordetella vaccines for dogs, and feline leukemia and panleukopenia vaccines for cats. We tailor vaccination schedules to individual risk factors from puppy/kitten series through adult boosters, following AAHA guidelines for optimal protection.
Diagnostic Testing
Our in-house laboratory enables rapid blood work, urinalysis, and parasite screening for timely diagnoses. We perform complete blood counts, serum chemistry panels, thyroid testing, and SNAP tests for heartworm and tick-borne diseases. Digital radiography and ultrasonography provide advanced imaging capabilities for internal organ assessment and injury evaluation.
Surgery
We offer soft tissue surgeries including spays, neuters, and mass removals using laser technology for reduced bleeding and faster recovery. Our surgical suite supports sterile procedures with continuous patient monitoring of vital signs. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and multi-modal pain management ensure patient safety and comfort throughout the surgical process.
Dentistry
Comprehensive dental services include oral exams, professional cleanings, and digital dental radiography under general anesthesia. We treat periodontal disease, extract diseased teeth, and provide home care recommendations. Preventive dental care helps avoid systemic infections that can affect heart, liver, and kidney health in pets.
