Services
Preventative Care
Our preventative care program includes comprehensive physical exams, parasite testing, vaccinations, and senior wellness monitoring. We create customized wellness plans based on your pet's age and health status. Our team educates owners on proper nutrition, dental care, and disease prevention strategies to maintain optimal health.
Surgical Services
We perform advanced soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries using state-of-the-art equipment. Our surgical suite features heated tables, patient monitoring systems, and specialized recovery areas. Procedures include spays/neuters, tumor removals, fracture repairs, and emergency surgeries with board-certified specialist support for complex cases.
Dental Care
Our dental services include professional cleanings with ultrasonic scaling, dental radiography, and extractions when necessary. We use polishing techniques to prevent plaque buildup and apply protective gels to reduce tartar formation. Our team provides home care guidance and sells veterinary-approved dental products for ongoing oral health maintenance.
Laser Therapy
We utilize Class IV laser therapy for non-invasive treatment of chronic pain and inflammation. This technology accelerates tissue healing while reducing discomfort from conditions like arthritis, hip dysplasia, and post-surgical recovery. Treatments last 5-15 minutes with customized protocols based on each pet's specific condition.
Pet Boarding
Our climate-controlled boarding facility offers separate areas for dogs and cats. Dogs enjoy large runs with outdoor playtime while cats stay in quiet condos with aquarium views. We provide feeding, medication administration, and enrichment activities. Reservations are recommended with specific vaccination requirements for all boarding pets.
