Services
Vaccinations
Core and non-core vaccinations protect pets from infectious diseases like rabies, distemper, and Lyme disease. Our veterinarians recommend tailored schedules based on age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Vaccinations are critical for puppies, kittens, and adult pets to prevent outbreaks and ensure community health.
Dental Care
Professional cleanings, X-rays, and extractions address periodontal disease and maintain oral hygiene. We use anesthesia monitoring and polishing to ensure safety. Preventive care reduces risks of heart and kidney disease linked to poor dental health in pets.
Flea Control
Year-round flea prevention programs include Bravecto and Revolution to kill fleas and ticks. Auto-ship options ensure continuous protection. We educate owners on environmental treatments like boric acid to eliminate infestations in homes and yards.
Surgery
Spays, neuters, tumor removals, and abdominal surgeries are performed with advanced monitoring. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and IV fluids ensure patient safety. Post-operative pain management and follow-up care promote smooth recoveries for dogs and cats.
Wellness Plans
Customizable plans cover vaccinations, parasite prevention, and routine exams. Save ~25% on services tailored to puppies, kittens, or adult pets. Plans simplify budgeting for preventive care and ensure pets receive timely medical attention.
