Services
Wellness Care
Our wellness exams provide comprehensive health assessments for cats and dogs. These routine checkups detect early signs of disease through physical examinations, weight monitoring, and vital checks. We recommend annual or bi-annual visits depending on pet age and health status, with tailored vaccination schedules and preventive treatments based on individual needs.
Vaccinations
We administer core and non-core vaccines to protect pets from infectious diseases. Core vaccines include rabies, distemper, and panleukopenia, while non-core options address lifestyle-specific risks like Lyme disease. Our vaccination plans follow state mandates and individual risk assessments for optimal disease prevention.
Dentistry
Professional dental cleanings include ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and extractions when necessary. We perform pre-anesthetic blood work to ensure patient safety and monitor vital signs throughout procedures. Regular dental care prevents periodontal disease and associated systemic health complications in pets.
Surgery
Our mobile unit performs soft tissue surgeries including spays, neuters, and mass removals. Advanced monitoring equipment tracks patient vitals during procedures, with pain management protocols before, during, and after surgery. Complex orthopedic cases receive referrals to specialized veterinary partners.
End of Life Care
Compassionate end-of-life services allow pets to pass peacefully at home. We provide detailed procedure explanations and support aftercare arrangements through Pet Rest, Inc. Clients may choose to remain present during the process while our team maintains utmost dignity and respect.
