Services
Wellness Care
Our wellness programs address pets' needs at every life stage through vaccinations, parasite control, and senior care. We emphasize early disease detection via bloodwork and tailored diet recommendations. Regular checkups help maintain optimal health for dogs, cats, and exotic pets while building trust between owners and veterinarians.
I-131 Therapy
This non-invasive cancer treatment targets feline thyroid tumors using radioactive iodine. Performed in specialized isolation facilities, it offers a cure for hyperthyroidism without anesthesia or surgery. Patients typically require 3-5 days of hospitalization for monitoring post-treatment. Our staff follows strict safety protocols during this procedure.
Dentistry
Comprehensive dental services include cleaning under sedation, extractions, and periodontal disease management. We utilize digital imaging and nerve blocks for pain control. Preventative treatments like Sanos sealant help reduce tartar accumulation between professional cleanings. Dental X-rays identify hidden tooth root issues.
Diagnostic Services
Advanced diagnostics combine digital radiology, ultrasound, and in-house lab testing. These tools enable rapid assessment of internal organs, skeletal structures, and cellular changes. Electrocardiography evaluates heart function while specialized labs support endocrine and infectious disease diagnosis.
End of Life Care
We provide compassionate palliative care and euthanasia options for terminally ill pets. Services include pain management plans, home care guidance, and emotional support for owners. Our staff ensures peaceful passing environments with post-procedure memorial options available for grieving families.
