Services
Dentistry
Our dental services include comprehensive oral exams, professional cleanings, polishing, and extractions to maintain optimal pet oral health. We apply synthetic polymer sealants that protect teeth for up to six months, particularly beneficial for pets resistant to brushing. Annual dental checkups help prevent periodontal disease that can impact overall health.
Vaccinations
We provide core and non-core vaccinations following AAHA guidelines, including rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia vaccines. Our protocols consider each pet's lifestyle and risk factors, with personalized schedules developed during annual wellness exams. We use recombinant rabies vaccines to minimize adverse reaction risks while maintaining efficacy.
Pet Surgery
Our surgical services encompass general procedures, orthopedic surgeries, and spay/neuter operations using modern anesthetic monitoring systems. We specialize in ACL repair techniques like lateral suture procedures and provide comprehensive post-operative rehabilitation guidance. Each patient receives individualized pain management plans for optimal recovery.
Emergency Care
We offer emergency medical services during regular business hours for injured or ill pets. Our diagnostic capabilities include in-house lab testing and radiology to quickly assess critical conditions. While we don't provide after-hours emergency care, we maintain referral relationships with Wenatchee-area hospitals for after-hours critical cases.
Pharmacy
Our on-site pharmacy stocks essential medications, prescription diets, and preventive products including flea/tick control and heartworm preventatives. We carry specialized supplements and topical treatments for managing chronic conditions. Patients receive snake bite anti-venom and other emergency medications as needed for immediate treatment.
