Services
Vaccinations
We provide core and non-core vaccinations for cats and dogs, including rabies, FVRCP, DAPP, and Lyme vaccines. Our protocols follow AAHA guidelines while allowing customization based on individual pet lifestyles. Vaccinations protect against deadly diseases like distemper, parvovirus, and leptospirosis while complying with Franklin County regulations.
Dentistry
Our dental services include professional cleanings with intraoral X-rays, tartar removal, and home care products. We address periodontal disease that can lead to systemic infections. Digital imaging helps detect hidden tooth root issues, ensuring comprehensive oral health maintenance for pets of all ages.
Parasite Prevention
We offer year-round protection against heartworms, fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites through oral and topical medications. Our protocols address Ohio's increasing parasite prevalence while providing client education about environmental risks and zoonotic disease prevention for both pets and families.
Labwork
In-house bloodwork, urinalysis, and fecal screening enable rapid diagnosis of infections, organ function issues, and parasitic infestations. We utilize IDEXX laboratory partnerships for specialized testing while maintaining quality control standards to ensure accurate results for effective treatment planning.
Spays and Neuters
We perform over 150 surgical sterilizations annually, following evidence-based guidelines for optimal health outcomes. These procedures prevent reproductive cancers, reduce pet overpopulation, and minimize behavioral issues associated with intact animals through safe, humane surgical practices.
