Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams detect health issues early through physical assessments and lab testing. Twice-yearly visits help monitor age-related changes in adult pets. Senior animals receive specialized evaluations for common age-related conditions. Digital records track health trends over time.
Vaccinations
Core and non-core vaccines protect pets from infectious diseases. We follow AAHA guidelines for rabies, distemper, and parvovirus prevention. Custom vaccination plans consider lifestyle risks like boarding or outdoor exposure. Titer testing available for immunity assessment.
Dental Care
Professional cleanings remove plaque and prevent periodontal disease. Digital dental x-rays identify hidden tooth root issues. We perform extractions and cavity treatments under monitored anesthesia. Home care guidance includes brushing techniques and dental diets.
Surgical Procedures
We perform spays, neuters, mass removals, and orthopedic surgeries. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures patient safety. Advanced monitoring tracks vital signs during procedures. Post-op care includes pain management and recovery instructions for optimal healing.
Exotic Pet Care
Specialized care for rabbits, reptiles, birds, and small mammals. We provide species-specific nutrition advice and wellness exams. Diagnostic capabilities include fecal testing and radiography for exotic animals. Treatment plans consider unique physiological needs.
