Services
Pet Physical Exam
Our comprehensive physical exams include ear, eye, mouth, and organ evaluations to detect early signs of disease. We recommend annual checkups for adult pets and bi-annual visits for seniors. Early detection helps prevent serious health issues through timely intervention.
Pet Vaccinations
We provide core and lifestyle-based vaccinations for dogs and cats, including rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia. Our protocols follow AAHA guidelines while considering individual pet risk factors. Vaccination schedules are tailored to each patient's specific needs.
Pet Dental Treatments
Our dental services include professional cleanings, oral exams, and treatment for periodontal disease. Anesthesia ensures thorough examination and cleaning below the gumline. Regular dental care prevents systemic infections and maintains overall pet health.
Pet Surgical Procedures
We perform spays, neuters, tumor removals, and soft tissue surgeries using advanced equipment. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and monitoring ensure patient safety. Post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up evaluations for optimal recovery.
Pet On-Site Lab Services
Our in-house lab provides rapid bloodwork, urinalysis, and parasite screening. Quick results enable immediate diagnosis and treatment for conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and heartworm. This capability supports timely medical decisions during emergencies.
