Veterinary Services
Our comprehensive veterinary services include medical diagnostics, surgical procedures, and preventative care for small animals. We specialize in blood analysis, dental care, and surgical interventions while emphasizing affordable treatment options. With experienced professionals and modern equipment, we address both routine and complex medical needs for dogs and cats.
Boarding Services
We offer secure boarding exclusively for established clients with pets that are spayed/neutered and current on vaccinations. Our facility maintains strict safety protocols and low-stress environments for stays up to two weeks. Special requirements ensure all animals receive appropriate care while maintaining facility standards for animal welfare.
Euthanasia Services
Our compassionate euthanasia services provide peaceful passing options for pets in-clinic or through home visits. We offer multiple cremation choices and partner with specialized memorial services. The two-step humane process ensures comfort for pets while allowing owners to participate at their discretion during the final moments.
Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings performed under general anesthesia address bad breath, plaque buildup, and oral health issues. We recommend pre-anesthetic bloodwork for senior pets and include comprehensive care from examination through post-procedure medication management. Pricing varies based on pet size and treatment complexity.
Spays/Neuters
We perform spay and neuter procedures for cats and dogs under 60lbs, including standard and laser-assisted options. All surgeries include sedation, anesthesia, and pain management. Pricing differentiates by animal size and procedure type, with additional costs for microchipping or vaccinations administered concurrently.
