Wellness Exams
Our wellness exams include comprehensive physical evaluations, diagnostic testing, and preventative care tailored to your pet's age and health status. We focus on early disease detection through annual or semi-annual checkups, covering vital signs, dental health, and mobility assessments. This proactive approach helps maintain long-term health and identify potential issues before they become serious.
Dental Care
We provide complete dental services including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal disease management. Using anesthesia for thorough examinations, we perform dental X-rays, tartar removal, and polishing to prevent oral infections. Our team educates pet owners about home care routines to maintain optimal dental health and prevent systemic complications from untreated oral disease.
Soft Tissue Surgery
Our surgical services include spays/neuters, mass removals, and emergency procedures performed with advanced monitoring equipment. Patients receive pre-anesthetic bloodwork and intravenous fluids during procedures. Our three-member surgical team ensures safety through continuous vital sign monitoring and post-operative recovery support for smooth healing outcomes.
Rehabilitation
Veterinary rehabilitation combines therapeutic exercises, laser therapy, and neuromuscular stimulation to improve mobility and manage pain. We treat post-surgical recovery, arthritis, and neurological conditions using customized treatment plans. This holistic approach enhances healing, strengthens muscles, and improves quality of life for pets with chronic conditions or mobility challenges.
Medical Acupuncture
Certified veterinary acupuncturists use needle insertion at specific points to stimulate healing and relieve pain. This integrative therapy addresses musculoskeletal disorders, neurological conditions, and chronic pain through natural biochemical responses. Treatments typically start weekly for 4-6 weeks, with sessions lasting 10-30 minutes as tolerated by each patient.
