Services
Wellness Care
Our wellness programs include annual physical exams, vaccinations, parasite screening, and nutritional counseling. We recommend bi-annual checkups for senior pets to monitor age-related health changes. Our preventative approach helps maintain optimal health through all life stages.
Surgical Services
We perform routine and complex procedures using CO2 laser technology for reduced pain and faster recovery. Services include spays/neuters, soft tissue surgeries, and orthopedic procedures. Advanced equipment ensures precise operations with minimal bleeding and discomfort.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include digital radiography, professional cleanings, and extractions. Our computerized charting system identifies hidden dental disease below the gumline. Regular dental maintenance prevents systemic health issues from oral infections.
Diagnostic Imaging
On-site digital X-ray and ultrasound capabilities enable rapid diagnosis. In-house lab machines provide complete blood counts, chemistry profiles, and coagulation tests within minutes. This technology allows immediate treatment decisions for critical cases.
Laser Therapy
Non-invasive laser treatments reduce inflammation and pain for arthritis, injuries, and post-surgical recovery. The therapy promotes tissue repair through increased blood flow and cellular regeneration. Most sessions last 15-30 minutes with visible improvement after initial treatments.
