Pet Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams detect health issues early through physical evaluations, vaccination updates, and preventive care planning. Our veterinarians assess weight, dental health, and organ function while discussing nutrition and behavior. These check-ups include heartworm testing and parasite prevention recommendations for dogs and cats.
Vaccinations
We provide core and elective vaccinations for puppies, kittens, and adult animals. Services include rabies, DHPPC, DHLPP, and feline leukemia vaccines following age-specific protocols. Our staff educates owners about local disease risks and vaccination schedules for optimal protection.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings and oral exams prevent periodontal disease through ultrasonic scaling and polishing. We offer pre-anesthetic bloodwork, tooth extractions, and home care guidance. Regular dental maintenance improves pets' overall health and longevity.
Surgical Services
Elective and emergency surgeries include spays/neuters, mass removals, and fracture repairs using modern anesthetic monitoring. Our facility provides pre-operative evaluations, intraoperative care, and post-operative recovery management with ICU observation for complex cases.
Emergency Triage
After-hours emergency support handles critical cases like trauma or poisoning through on-call veterinarians. During business hours, we prioritize urgent drop-offs for immediate assessment. Services include stabilization, diagnostics, and referral coordination when needed.
