Boarding
Our veterinarian-supervised boarding provides a safe, temperature-controlled environment for dogs and cats. Boarders receive 4-5 daily walks, access to secure outdoor exercise yards, and personalized care. We accommodate special dietary needs and allow pets to bring familiar items for comfort. Reservations are recommended to ensure availability.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include cleanings, digital x-rays, extractions, and periodontal treatment. We use ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and nerve blocks for pain management. Pre-dental bloodwork ensures anesthesia safety, while home care guidance helps maintain oral health between visits.
