The facility maintains emergency equipment and surgical capabilities to stabilize patients before specialist referral when needed.
Dental Care
We provide comprehensive dental services including cleanings, extractions, and radiography. Our dentistry program emphasizes preventive care while addressing existing oral diseases. Dr. Mafara's specialized training ensures advanced treatment options for complex dental conditions in companion animals.
Preventative Care
Our preventive programs focus on maintaining pet health through regular examinations and vaccinations. We develop customized wellness schedules based on age and medical history, including parasite prevention and nutritional counseling to extend pets' healthy lifespans while managing healthcare costs.
Laser Therapy
We utilize Companion Therapy Laser for non-invasive treatment of chronic pain and post-surgical recovery. This FDA-approved technology reduces inflammation and accelerates healing through low-level laser application, offering an alternative to pharmaceutical pain management with minimal side effects.
Ultrasound
Our diagnostic ultrasound services provide detailed internal organ visualization. Board-certified radiologists interpret imaging results to support accurate diagnoses. The non-invasive procedure often follows initial radiographic exams to evaluate abdominal conditions requiring specialized assessment.
