Services
Pet Wellness Exam
Annual wellness exams allow our veterinarians to assess pets' overall health and detect diseases early. During these comprehensive nose-to-tail examinations, we evaluate eyes, ears, skin, coat, heart, and lungs while discussing preventive care strategies. Our team provides personalized recommendations for diet, exercise, and dental care to maintain optimal pet health.
Pet Vaccinations
We offer core and lifestyle vaccinations tailored to pets' species, environment, and activity level. Our protocols include rabies, DA2PP, leptospirosis for dogs, and FVRCP for cats, following state regulations and individual risk assessments. Vaccination schedules are designed to protect against deadly diseases while minimizing unnecessary treatments.
Pet Spay and Neuter
Our surgical team performs safe spay and neuter procedures using advanced anesthetic monitoring. Pre-surgical evaluations ensure patient readiness, while post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring. These procedures help control pet overpopulation and provide long-term health benefits for animals.
Pet Dental Care
We provide comprehensive dental services including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal disease treatment. Our modern dental suite enables deep cleaning under anesthesia with continuous patient monitoring. Preventive care education helps owners maintain their pets' oral health between professional treatments.
Pet In-House Laboratory
Our in-house laboratory delivers rapid diagnostic results for pre-anesthetic screening and urgent care cases. We perform bloodwork, urinalysis, and parasite testing with immediate results for critical patients. Complex cases are referred to Idexx Laboratories for specialized diagnostics while maintaining cost-effective care.
