Services
Vaccinations
Our vaccination program protects pets against core diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus while offering lifestyle-based protection against bordetella and canine influenza. We recommend annual boosters for adult pets and tailored schedules for puppies/kittens. Our veterinarians advise on appropriate vaccination protocols based on age, health status, and exposure risks.
Surgery
We perform routine and complex surgical procedures using modern anesthetic protocols and CO2 laser technology for reduced bleeding and faster healing. Our surgical capabilities include spays/neuters, lumpectomies, and abdominal exploratories with continuous technician monitoring throughout each procedure. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery guidance.
Dentistry
Our dental services combine high-powered drills, electronic scalers, and polishing tools to maintain oral health. All dental procedures are performed under gas anesthesia with continuous patient monitoring. We emphasize preventive care through regular cleanings and fluoride treatments while addressing advanced periodontal disease in senior pets.
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams assess pets' overall health through comprehensive physical evaluations including ear, eye, dental, and cardiovascular checks. Senior pets receive biannual exams with blood screening panels to detect age-related conditions early. These preventive visits help maintain optimal health through nutrition counseling and behavior assessments.
Boarding
Our boarding facility offers climate-controlled accommodations with separate dog runs and cat wards. Dogs receive three daily exercise sessions in secure outdoor areas while cats stay in quiet, natural-light environments. We administer medications, accommodate special diets, and provide complimentary baths after four-night stays.
