Services
Veterinary Dermatology
Our dermatology specialists diagnose and treat pet allergies, mange, ringworm, and other skin conditions using skin scrapings, allergy testing, and prescription diets. We address seasonal allergies from environmental factors like pollen and food-related dermatitis through customized treatment plans. Advanced cases receive targeted therapies including corticosteroids, antifungals, or medicated baths while educating owners on home care strategies.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services prevent and treat periodontal disease through professional cleanings, digital dental radiography, and oral surgery. We assess each pet's oral health using a 5-grade scale, addressing tartar buildup, gingivitis, and tooth fractures. Our team educates owners on home brushing techniques and recommends appropriate chew toys while managing advanced cases requiring extractions or antibiotic therapy.
General Surgery
We perform routine and emergency surgical procedures including spays/neuters, mass removals, and foreign body extractions with continuous anesthetic monitoring. Pre-surgical bloodwork ensures patient safety while post-operative care instructions guide owners through recovery. Our surgical team maintains current techniques through regular continuing education, handling both scheduled procedures and urgent cases like bladder stone removal or laceration repair.
In-House Diagnostics
Rapid diagnostic capabilities include complete blood counts, chemistry panels, thyroid testing, and urinalysis using state-of-the-art in-clinic analyzers. This allows same-day results for critical decision-making in wellness exams or emergency situations. Our sediment analyzer detects urinary crystals while digital radiography provides immediate imaging for fracture assessment or internal organ evaluation.
Emergency Referrals
After-hours emergencies receive immediate triage with direct referrals to four specialized 24/7 facilities. We maintain close partnerships with Bluepearl Specialty Hospital, Animal Emergency Hospital, and Pomona Park Urgent Care for continuous critical care access. Owners receive clear instructions for reaching these facilities while our team provides follow-up care coordination upon patient return.
