Wellness Exams
Comprehensive physical exams during wellness periods establish health baselines and detect early disease signs. These visits include vaccine series for puppies/kittens and annual tests for adults, ensuring proactive care tailored to your pet's life stage. Our exams identify congenital issues and guide preventive strategies.
Vaccinations
Customized vaccination plans protect pets from preventable diseases based on age, species, and lifestyle. We follow evidence-based guidelines to administer core vaccines and recommend non-core options like Bordetella for boarding pets. Our protocols ensure optimal immunity while minimizing unnecessary treatments.
Dental Care
We address dental hygiene to prevent systemic diseases like heart and kidney conditions. Services include oral exams, professional cleanings under sedation, and home care guidance. Early intervention for gum disease or tooth decay ensures long-term oral health and comfort for pets.
Surgical Procedures
Our surgical services range from elective spays/neuters to complex tumor removals and trauma repairs. Each procedure uses tailored anesthetic protocols with continuous monitoring. Post-op care includes pain management and follow-up exams to ensure proper healing and recovery.
Emergency Services
We prioritize emergencies during office hours and partner with 24/7 clinics for after-hours critical care. Services include trauma stabilization, blood transfusions using our Greyhound donor, and urgent surgical interventions. Our team coordinates referrals to specialized emergency facilities when advanced care is needed.
