Services
Holistic Veterinary Care
Our holistic approach combines traditional veterinary practices with natural therapies to treat the whole pet. We address root causes of illness through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and food therapy while maintaining scientific rigor. This comprehensive method promotes long-term wellness by considering environmental factors, diet, and emotional well-being alongside conventional treatments.
Pet Physical Therapy
We offer specialized rehabilitation services including hydrotherapy with an underwater treadmill and land-based exercise equipment. Our physical therapy programs combine cold laser treatments, PEMF therapy, and customized exercise plans to aid recovery from surgery or injury. The goal is to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve quality of life for pets through non-invasive techniques.
Traditional Veterinary Services
Our traditional services encompass wellness exams, vaccinations, dental care, and surgical procedures using modern diagnostic tools. We perform OFA certifications, allergy testing, and advanced imaging like digital x-rays and ultrasounds. These evidence-based practices form the foundation of our comprehensive healthcare approach for pets.
Emergency Care
We provide critical care for pets experiencing seizures, trauma, or life-threatening conditions during office hours. After hours, we direct clients to 24-hour referral hospitals while maintaining continuity of care. Our team handles initial stabilization and triage for emergencies including poisoning, breathing difficulties, and severe bleeding.
Acupuncture Services
Our certified veterinary acupuncturists use traditional Chinese techniques to treat chronic pain and neurological conditions. By stimulating specific points through needles, laser, or heat, we improve circulation and nerve function. This drug-free therapy effectively manages arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and musculoskeletal disorders in pets.
