Premier Care Plans
Our customized Premier Care Plans provide comprehensive preventive care solutions for pets. These subscription-based plans include annual exams, core vaccines, and preventative medications while offering flexible spending allowances for additional needs. Plans are available for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, large breeds, kittens, and senior cats. The program allows budgeting for veterinary expenses through monthly payments without age or preexisting condition restrictions.
Dentistry
We offer complete dental services including routine cleanings and advanced periodontal treatments. Our dental care addresses bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease through professional cleanings, extractions, and oral health education. We emphasize preventive care to avoid systemic health issues from untreated dental disease while providing treatment for existing oral conditions.
Diagnostics
Our on-site diagnostic laboratory enables rapid testing and results interpretation for efficient treatment planning. We perform blood work, urinalysis, and other diagnostic tests while offering advanced imaging services including digital radiography. This comprehensive approach allows accurate diagnosis of internal medicine cases and monitoring of chronic conditions.
Surgery
We provide both routine and complex surgical procedures with comprehensive preoperative screening and pain management. Our surgical services include spaying/neutering, soft tissue surgery, and emergency procedures with continuous patient monitoring during operations. Post-operative care includes detailed recovery instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
Laser Therapy
Our Phovia Light Therapy system delivers non-invasive pain management for pets with osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions. This advanced treatment option reduces inflammation and promotes healing through targeted light energy application. The therapy is administered by trained professionals as part of comprehensive pain management plans for senior pets and those recovering from surgery or injury.
