Services
Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams include physical assessments, vaccination updates, and preventive care planning. The veterinarian evaluates your pet's overall health, discusses dietary needs, and identifies potential health concerns early. These exams help establish baseline health metrics and build familiarity between pets and our medical team.
Diagnostic Testing
We perform in-house laboratory testing for heartworm, intestinal parasites, feline leukemia, and other conditions. Advanced diagnostics include blood chemistry panels, complete blood counts, and urinalysis. For specialized testing like thyroid function or tick-borne diseases, we coordinate with external reference laboratories for accurate results.
Surgical Procedures
Our surgical services include spay/neuter, dental cleanings, mass removals, and emergency interventions. The clinic maintains strict sterilization protocols and uses modern anesthetic monitoring equipment. Post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up examinations to ensure proper healing.
Dental Care
We provide comprehensive dental services including oral exams, teeth cleaning, and extractions. Digital dental radiography helps identify hidden dental issues. Our team educates owners on home dental care to prevent periodontal disease and maintain oral health between professional cleanings.
Telehealth Consultations
Through our partnership with VetTriage, pet owners access 24/7 video consultations with licensed veterinarians. This service provides emergency triage guidance, home care instructions, and coordination with emergency facilities when needed. It's particularly valuable for after-hours urgent care assessments.
