Veterinary Medical Services
Our hospital provides comprehensive medical care including diagnostics, hospitalization, and treatment for sick or injured pets. With 19 veterinarians and advanced equipment like digital radiology and ultrasound, we handle complex cases while maintaining affordable rates. Our services cover bloodwork, diagnostic testing, and specialized treatments for over 200 pets simultaneously.
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams detect early health issues through physical assessments and diagnostic tests. Our Don and Karen LaRocca Pet Wellness Center offers vaccinations, microchipping, nutritional counseling, and preventive care programs. These check-ups help maintain pet health while reducing long-term medical costs through early intervention.
Surgical Services
We offer advanced surgical procedures including spay/neuter, orthopedic operations, and soft tissue surgeries. Our surgical suite features endoscopic capabilities and on-site diagnostics for pre-operative assessments. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring by licensed veterinary technicians.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include cleanings, extractions, and oral surgery under general anesthesia. Using modern equipment, we address periodontal disease and dental trauma while following AAHA guidelines for safe anesthetic protocols. Regular dental care prevents systemic health issues in pets.
Physical Therapy
Our rehabilitation programs combine hydrotherapy, laser therapy, and acupuncture for pets recovering from injury or surgery. Underwater treadmills and therapeutic exercises improve mobility while reducing joint stress. These treatments benefit pets with chronic pain or degenerative conditions.
