Physical Examinations
Annual wellness exams help detect early disease signs through comprehensive assessments of eyes, ears, teeth, heart, and skin. We recommend bi-annual exams for pets over five years old to monitor age-related changes. Our hands-on evaluations form the foundation for preventive care and treatment planning.
Surgical Procedures
Our surgical suite offers spays/neuters, mass removals, and emergency procedures using modern equipment with ECG and pulse oximetry monitoring. All surgeries include pre-anesthetic exams and continuous vital sign tracking to ensure patient safety during procedures and recovery periods.
Allergy Testing
Blood tests identify environmental and food allergies causing skin issues in pets. We analyze samples for specific allergens and develop customized treatment plans including immunotherapy injections or oral drops to manage chronic allergic reactions and improve quality of life.
Dentistry
We provide professional dental cleanings, extractions, and oral health assessments to prevent periodontal disease. Our services include digital dental radiography to detect hidden tooth root issues and maintain overall pet health through proper oral hygiene.
Radiology
Digital radiography helps diagnose bone fractures, joint issues, and internal organ abnormalities. We use advanced imaging to evaluate respiratory, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal systems, enabling accurate diagnoses for both emergency and routine wellness cases.
