Services
In-House Laboratory
Our on-site laboratory provides rapid bloodwork, pre-anesthetic screening, and wellness testing. This eliminates wait times for critical diagnostics, enabling immediate treatment decisions. Services include chemistry panels, complete blood counts, blood pressure monitoring, and viral screenings for conditions like feline leukemia and canine parvovirus.
Microchipping
We implant ISO-standard 15-digit microchips for permanent pet identification. The minimally invasive procedure between shoulder blades creates a lifetime identification solution. Registration assistance ensures updated contact information remains accessible to shelters and veterinary clinics nationwide.
Radiology
Digital radiography and CT scans diagnose skeletal injuries, organ abnormalities, and internal blockages. Our equipment captures detailed images of bones, joints, and internal organs while minimizing radiation exposure. Advanced imaging helps identify tumors, spinal disorders, and cardiovascular conditions in dogs and cats.
Surgery
We perform routine and complex surgical procedures including spays/neuters, dental extractions, and mass removals. Pre-surgical bloodwork ensures anesthesia safety while post-operative monitoring tracks recovery. Our surgical team specializes in pain management protocols tailored to each patient's breed and condition.
Euthanasia
Our compassionate team provides humane pet euthanasia services in private consultation rooms. We offer pre-appointment sedatives to reduce anxiety and support families through decision-making processes. Post-procedure options include at-home burial or cremation services with ash return arrangements.
