Services
Preventative Medicine
Our preventative medicine program focuses on early disease detection through annual wellness exams and blood work. We create customized vaccination schedules based on your pet's lifestyle, breed, and age. Regular checkups help identify potential health issues before they become serious, reducing long-term treatment costs while extending your pet's lifespan through proactive care.
Surgical Services
We perform soft tissue surgeries, spay/neuter procedures, and select orthopedic operations in our fully equipped surgical suite. Pain management protocols ensure patient comfort, with pre-operative bloodwork recommended for all cases. Complex procedures are referred to board-certified specialists while maintaining continuity of care throughout your pet's surgical journey.
Diagnostic Laboratory
Our on-site laboratory provides rapid CBC, blood chemistry, and electrolyte results within minutes. We conduct heartworm tests, feline leukemia screenings, urinalysis, and fecal exams daily. For specialized diagnostics, we partner with external labs to process biopsies and advanced testing while maintaining strict quality control standards for accurate diagnoses.
Dentistry
Our comprehensive dental services include scaling, polishing, and fluoride treatments under general anesthesia. Dental X-rays help identify hidden oral health issues while routine cleanings prevent periodontal disease. Most procedures are completed as same-day services with post-operative care instructions tailored to your pet's specific needs.
Cold Therapy Laser
This non-invasive therapy reduces pain and inflammation for conditions like arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and wound healing. Treatments last 20-30 minutes with no sedation required, offering a drug-free option for managing chronic pain and accelerating tissue repair in pets of all ages.
