Services
Wellness Exams
Comprehensive physical examinations for pets of all life stages help detect early signs of health issues. Our veterinarians assess weight, vital signs, dental health, and organ function during routine visits. Preventative care includes parasite screening and vaccination planning tailored to each pet's lifestyle and age.
Emergency Care
Critical care services address traumatic injuries, poisoning, breathing difficulties, and other life-threatening conditions. Our team provides immediate stabilization and advanced diagnostics for after-hours emergencies. We handle cases like foreign body ingestion, severe bleeding, and acute allergic reactions with 24/7 on-call support.
Dental Cleaning
Professional dental scaling removes plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gumline under general anesthesia. We perform full-mouth radiographs to identify hidden dental disease and offer polishing to prevent future accumulation. Treatment includes extraction of diseased teeth and oral health education for pet owners.
Allergy Testing
Diagnostic testing identifies environmental and food allergens causing skin irritation or gastrointestinal issues. We use intradermal skin testing and blood analysis to create customized immunotherapy plans. Treatment options include hypoallergenic diets, antihistamines, and targeted supplements to manage chronic allergic reactions.
Geriatric Care
Specialized monitoring for pets over 8 years includes twice-yearly exams and senior blood panels. We address age-related conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, and cognitive decline through pain management and lifestyle adjustments. Our team provides mobility aids, dietary recommendations, and quality-of-life assessments for senior pets.
