Services
Dental Care
Our dental services include full oral exams, digital X-rays, and professional cleaning under anesthesia. We treat periodontal disease, perform extractions, and offer preventive care to maintain oral health. Early detection of dental issues helps prevent systemic infections in pets.
Allergy Treatment
We diagnose and manage environmental and food allergies through skin cytology, blood testing, and elimination diets. Treatment options include Apoquel, Cytopoint injections, and customized dietary plans to alleviate itching and skin infections.
Wellness Exams
Comprehensive nose-to-tail exams assess pets' overall health, including vaccinations, parasite prevention, and early disease detection. Senior pets receive bi-annual checkups to monitor age-related conditions like arthritis and organ function.
Surgical Services
We perform spay/neuter procedures, mass removals, orthopedic surgeries, and emergency interventions. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork, intraoperative monitoring, and post-op follow-ups ensure patient safety and successful recovery.
Hospice Care
Our hospice program focuses on comfort through pain management, mobility aids, and home care guidance. We provide euthanasia services with compassionate support for end-of-life decisions and memorial options.
