Dental Cleanings
Our comprehensive dental cleanings prevent periodontal disease through scaling, polishing, and full-mouth radiographs under anesthesia. We recommend annual cleanings to maintain oral health and prevent systemic infections. Our technicians provide home care guidance including toothbrushing techniques and dental chews.
Vaccinations
We administer core vaccines for dogs (rabies, distemper, parvovirus) and cats (rabies, panleukopenia, calicivirus). Our vaccination protocol follows AAHA guidelines to protect against infectious diseases while minimizing adverse reactions. We require up-to-date vaccinations for all patients to maintain herd immunity.
Surgical Services
Our surgical suite handles routine procedures like spays/neuters and complex soft-tissue surgeries. Patients receive continuous monitoring with IV fluids and temperature control. We develop customized pain management plans and provide detailed post-operative care instructions for optimal recovery.
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams include comprehensive physical assessments, parasite screening, and age-specific diagnostics. We track weight changes, dental health, and mobility issues while offering nutrition counseling. Senior pets receive specialized evaluations for age-related conditions like kidney disease and arthritis.
Emergency Care
Our ER team triages critical cases including trauma, poisoning, and respiratory distress. We stabilize patients with IV therapy and oxygen support while performing diagnostic imaging and bloodwork. Clients receive immediate updates about treatment options and prognosis during emergency situations.
