Pet Boarding
Our climate-controlled boarding facilities provide a safe, comfortable environment for pets when owners are away. Features include individual runs, outdoor exercise yards, and a dedicated 'Cats Only' room with bird-viewing windows. We require up-to-date vaccinations and offer medication administration during stays. Reservations are required with specific drop-off/pickup protocols to ensure quality care for all boarders.
Emergency Care
We provide emergency veterinary services during regular business hours with immediate triage assessment and stabilization procedures. Our team handles critical cases including CPR, IV fluid therapy, and pain management. For after-hours emergencies, we direct clients to partner facilities while maintaining communication with primary veterinarians for continuity of care.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our clinic offers digital X-rays, ultrasound, and dental imaging for accurate diagnosis of internal conditions. These technologies help evaluate heart/lung function, detect fractures, identify tumors, and assess dental health. Sedation may be required for some procedures to ensure patient comfort and image quality.
Surgical Procedures
We perform routine and complex surgeries including spays/neuters, tumor removals, and orthopedic procedures using surgical lasers for reduced pain and faster healing. Pre-surgical bloodwork and anesthesia monitoring ensure patient safety. Post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up examinations.
Daycare Services
Our supervised daycare program offers dogs and cats socialization opportunities with structured playtime and enrichment activities. Features include climate-controlled play areas, classical music therapy, and special extras like bubble time and video calls for owner interaction during pet stays.
