Services
Primary Care
Our primary care services focus on preventative medicine including annual exams, vaccinations, and wellness screenings. We emphasize early disease detection through senior pet lab work and tailored healthcare plans. Our team provides comprehensive check-ups for dogs and cats, addressing breed-specific concerns and lifestyle factors in Summit County's unique environment.
Emergency Services
We offer emergency veterinary care during regular business hours for critical conditions like trauma, poisoning, and severe illness. Our facility handles urgent cases including bloat surgery, fracture stabilization, and internal bleeding repair. While 24/7 emergency collaboration has ended, we prioritize same-day appointments for urgent situations.
Dentistry
Our dental services include professional cleanings, digital X-rays, extractions, and oral surgery in a dedicated dentistry suite. We treat periodontal disease, tooth resorption, and dental trauma using safe anesthetics. Specialized care addresses feline-specific dental issues and preventive maintenance for long-term oral health.
Chiropractic Services
Veterinary chiropractic adjustments treat musculoskeletal issues using the activator technique. This non-invasive treatment addresses hip dysplasia, arthritis, and spinal subluxations in dogs. Our certified practitioners restore mobility and alleviate pain through precise spinal manipulations that improve nervous system function.
Orthopedic Surgery
We perform advanced orthopedic procedures including TTA/TPLO surgeries for ACL tears, fracture repairs, and hip dysplasia corrections. Our surgical suite handles complex cases with plating, external fixation, and joint stabilization techniques. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring.
