Services
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy offers non-invasive treatment for arthritis, joint pain, and inflammation in pets. This drug-free option speeds healing while improving mobility for senior animals. Our certified therapists customize sessions to address specific conditions like hip dysplasia or post-surgical recovery, combining modern technology with compassionate care for optimal patient outcomes.
Large Animal Care
We provide herd health management, mobile veterinary services, and equine dentistry for livestock owners. Our team handles on-farm diagnostics, vaccinations, and field surgeries using portable equipment. Services include breeding exams, wound management, and dairy calf production support to maintain healthy agricultural operations across southeastern Indiana.
Senior Wellness
Specialized wellness exams detect age-related conditions like kidney disease or diabetes in pets over seven years old. We recommend bi-annual checkups to monitor mobility issues, dietary needs, and chronic conditions. Early detection strategies help maintain quality of life through tailored treatment plans and at-home care guidance for aging animal companions.
Vaccines Preventive Care
Core vaccinations protect dogs and cats from distemper, parvovirus, and rabies, following AAHA guidelines. We administer age-appropriate vaccines starting at six weeks old, with annual boosters for adult pets. Preventative care includes parasite control education and wellness screenings to stop diseases before they develop into serious health issues.
Dentistry Services
Comprehensive dental care includes annual cleanings under anesthesia to prevent periodontal disease. Our staff teaches home oral hygiene techniques while addressing infections or tooth decay during routine exams. Proper dental maintenance helps avoid systemic health problems linked to oral bacteria in both small and large animal patients.
