Services
Dental Care
Our comprehensive dental services include ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and periodontal treatment for dogs and cats. We perform oral examinations during wellness visits to detect early signs of dental disease that could impact organ health. Patients receive customized home care recommendations including brushing techniques and specialized diets to maintain oral health between professional cleanings.
Laser Treatment
Class 4 laser therapy provides non-invasive pain management and accelerated healing for pets. This photobiomodulation treatment improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and stimulates cellular repair without pharmaceuticals. It's particularly effective for post-surgical recovery, arthritis management, and soft tissue injuries, offering a drug-free alternative for chronic pain conditions.
Vaccination Programs
We administer core vaccines including rabies, distemper, and parvovirus for dogs, along with feline leukemia and panleukopenia vaccines for cats. Our vaccination schedules follow AAHA guidelines while considering individual risk factors. We use adjuvant-free formulations to minimize adverse reactions and provide documentation for regulatory compliance and travel requirements.
Disease Testing
Our in-house laboratory performs heartworm antigen tests and tick-borne disease panels detecting Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis. We utilize rapid diagnostic tests for immediate results while offering confirmatory PCR testing for accurate diagnosis. Early detection enables prompt treatment interventions to prevent disease progression and complications.
Surgical Care
We perform general and orthopedic surgical procedures including spays, neuters, and fracture repairs. Our surgical protocols incorporate pre-anesthetic blood work, multi-modal pain management, and advanced monitoring equipment. Outpatient procedures feature same-day discharge with detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure proper recovery in the pet's home environment.
