General Veterinary Care
Our general veterinary services cover comprehensive wellness exams, puppy/kitten visits, and sick pet consultations. We emphasize preventive care through regular checkups and vaccinations while providing expert diagnosis and treatment for acute and chronic conditions. Our team combines traditional veterinary practices with modern medical advancements to ensure optimal pet health.
Stem Cell Therapy
We offer MediVet stem cell therapy for pets suffering from osteoarthritis, soft tissue injuries, and other degenerative conditions. This innovative treatment uses the pet's own stem cells to regenerate damaged tissue and reduce pain naturally. Our certified technicians perform same-day procedures with minimal recovery time, providing a safe alternative to traditional pain medications.
Canine Rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation program includes hydrotherapy, laser therapy, and spinal manipulation to improve mobility and reduce pain. The underwater treadmill helps dogs build strength while minimizing joint stress, ideal for post-surgical recovery or managing chronic conditions like hip dysplasia. Our certified rehabilitation specialists create customized treatment plans for each patient.
Acupuncture
We provide traditional Chinese veterinary medicine including acupuncture and herbal therapies. These treatments effectively manage chronic pain, improve circulation, and enhance overall wellness. Our certified practitioners use gentle techniques combined with Fear Free methods to ensure comfortable sessions for pets requiring alternative pain management solutions.
Dental Health
Our dental services focus on preventing and treating periodontal disease through comprehensive oral exams and advanced treatments. We utilize digital dental radiography to detect hidden issues and provide professional cleanings to maintain oral health. Early intervention helps prevent systemic health problems associated with untreated dental disease in pets.
