Diagnostics
Our hospital offers advanced diagnostic services including digital radiology, ultrasound, and in-house laboratory testing. These tools enable precise detection of internal issues, cardiac conditions, and infections. Board-certified specialists collaborate with our team to ensure accurate diagnoses and tailored treatment plans for complex cases.
Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy reduces pain and inflammation while accelerating healing for conditions like arthritis and post-surgical recovery. This non-invasive treatment uses targeted light to stimulate cellular repair, offering pets improved mobility and comfort without medication side effects.
Surgery
We perform sterile surgical procedures including spays/neuters, dental extractions, and soft-tissue surgeries. Laser surgery options minimize bleeding and pain, while pre-op bloodwork and 24/7 post-op monitoring ensure patient safety during recovery from procedures like tumor removals or orthopedic repairs.
DNA Profiling
Our DNA profiling service analyzes mixed-breed dogs' genetic makeup through cheek swabs. Results reveal breed composition, inherited traits, and health predispositions. This information guides personalized nutrition plans and early detection of potential genetic conditions like hip dysplasia or heart disease.
Dentistry
Comprehensive dental services include ultrasonic cleanings, digital X-rays, and fluoride treatments under anesthesia. We address periodontal disease, extract infected teeth, and use antibiotic gels to treat gum pockets, preventing systemic health issues caused by poor oral hygiene in pets.
