Pet Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams help detect health issues early through physical evaluations, bloodwork, and fecal testing. We assess vital signs, dental health, and organ function while providing vaccination updates and nutritional counseling. These annual or biannual checkups are crucial for preventive care and maintaining your pet's long-term health.
Vaccinations
We offer core and lifestyle-based vaccines to protect pets from preventable diseases. Our customized vaccination plans consider each pet's age, health status, and exposure risks. We administer essential vaccines like rabies, distemper, and FVRCP while providing guidance on maintaining proper immunity throughout your pet's life.
Dental Care
Our dental services include professional teeth cleaning, oral exams, and periodontal treatment. We use advanced equipment to remove plaque and tartar while addressing dental pain or infections. We also provide home care recommendations to maintain oral health between professional cleanings and prevent systemic health issues.
Pet Allergies
We diagnose and treat allergic reactions in pets through skin testing, bloodwork, and elimination diets. Our treatment plans address environmental and food allergies using medications, hypoallergenic diets, and topical therapies. We help pets find relief from itching, skin infections, and other allergy-related discomforts.
Surgery
Our surgical services include spays, neuters, mass removals, and orthopedic procedures. We utilize modern anesthesia and monitoring equipment to ensure patient safety. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork, IV catheter placement, and post-operative pain management are standard components of our surgical care protocol.
