We are currently experiencing a higher than usual call volume. Unless you have an emergency or are checking in for an appointment, if you call the clinic and do not get through right away, please wait 5 to 10 minutes and try your call again. Current circumstances require us to triage patients so priority will be given to the most critical patients.
We appreciate your patience and understanding in these challenging times. For the safety of all, please wear a mask when interacting with our staff. We will be reviewing this protocol on a weekly basis and will provide updates should anything change. Our goal is to continue to provide you and your pets with excellent, compassionate care, while making the safety of our staff and clients our number one priority.
Thank you for your patronage and understanding during these challenging times. We are committed to developing effective and safe parasite treatment strategies for every pet family and have always provided prescription FDA-approved options to complement those available OTC such as the Seresto collar.

MyPetDoc
Report
We are excited to announce an innovative partnership with a well-respected telehealth company, MyPetDoc, to ensure our established clients will always have (Free) 24/7 access to a veterinarian to answer common questions, phone triage illness/injury and determine options if your pet needs to be seen by a doctor.
The MyPetDoc veterinarians that provide expert advice have as much experience as our doctors and extend our doctors' ability to support your pet healthcare needs.
We do not expect this service to replace direct contact with our clinics during business hours, especially when questions arise about current medical/surgical patients, but we do want to offer it as an additional source that can be used any time to quickly obtain answers to general questions for your added convenience and service.

Wellness Exam
Report
That old adage, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" holds true for our pets as well.
There have been so many advances in veterinary medicine that many diseases which may have greatly shortened your pet's lifespan in the past can now be managed (if detected early) so that your pet can live a longer, happier life.
At the time of your pet's wellness exam a veterinarian will perform a full physical examination of your pet.
Some examples of physical exam findings may include: dental disease, weight issues, ear/skin infections, dry eye, heart murmurs, skin tumors, cataracts, painful joints, and flea/tick/tapeworm infestations.
