Services
Veterinary Surgical Services
Our caring team handles everything from routine to complex surgeries, making sure your dog or cat feels safe and comfortable throughout the process. We use advanced surgical techniques and equipment to ensure optimal outcomes. Our veterinarians have special interests in soft tissue and orthopedic surgical cases, providing specialized care for various conditions.
Pet Boarding Services
We offer climate-controlled boarding for dogs and cats with individual yard time in a spacious fenced-in backyard. Our facilities provide a home-like environment with personalized attention for each pet. The boarding area is maintained to ensure comfort and safety, though we recommend early reservations during holidays as space fills quickly.
In-House Laboratory
Our in-house lab enables rapid diagnostic testing including blood work, urinalysis, and specialized tests using advanced equipment like the Catalyst One Chemistry Analyzer and ProCyte Dx Hematology Analyzer. This allows for quicker diagnosis and treatment decisions, improving patient outcomes through immediate access to critical health information.
Dental Prophylaxis
We provide comprehensive dental care including cleaning, polishing, and oral health evaluations. Regular dental check-ups help prevent periodontal disease and maintain overall health. Our services address both routine maintenance and treatment of existing oral health issues in small animals.
Laser Therapy
We utilize laser therapy to accelerate healing and manage pain through photo-bio-modulation. This treatment effectively addresses chronic conditions, acute injuries, and post-surgical recovery. The therapy provides non-invasive pain relief and reduces inflammation, offering an alternative to traditional pain management approaches.
