Vaccinations
We provide essential vaccinations for dogs and cats including rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. Our vaccination protocols follow AAHA guidelines while considering individual pet risk factors. All vaccines are administered by licensed veterinarians with post-vaccination monitoring.
Spay/Neuter
Our surgical sterilization services include pre-anesthetic bloodwork, modern anesthetic protocols, and post-operative care. We perform spays and neuters for cats and dogs of all ages with customized pain management plans.
Dental Cleanings
Comprehensive dental care includes ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and oral examinations under anesthesia. We use digital dental radiography to identify hidden issues and provide extractions when necessary with proper pain control.
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams assess pets' overall health through physical examinations, weight monitoring, and parasite screening. We create customized preventive care plans based on age, breed, and lifestyle factors during these comprehensive evaluations.
