Preventative Care
Our preventative care services include age-specific wellness exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and genetic health analysis. We create customized healthcare plans for puppies, kittens, adult, and senior pets to detect issues early and maintain long-term health. Our daytime admission appointments accommodate busy schedules while ensuring comprehensive care.
Sick Patient Exams
We conduct thorough evaluations for pets showing symptoms like respiratory issues, gastrointestinal distress, or mobility problems. Our in-house lab provides same-day results for urinalysis, bloodwork, and parasite testing, while reference labs handle advanced diagnostics. Daytime admission options allow flexible scheduling for urgent non-emergency cases.
Surgical Services
Our surgical offerings include spays/neuters, mass removals, and pre-operative planning. All procedures require pre-surgical exams and bloodwork to ensure safety. We provide pain management protocols and post-operative care instructions, with referrals available for specialized surgeries through partner facilities in Jacksonville.
Dental Care
We offer comprehensive dental services from routine cleanings to periodontal treatment. Our COHAT procedures include scaling, polishing, radiographs, and barrier sealants under anesthesia. We educate on home care techniques and provide VOHC-approved dental products to prevent systemic infections from oral disease.
End of Life Care
Our compassionate end-of-life care includes palliative treatment plans, quality-of-life assessments, and euthanasia services. We provide pain management strategies, environmental modifications, and emotional support for pet owners.
