Wellness Care
Our wellness exams provide tailored preventive care for pets at every life stage, from puppies/kittens to seniors. We offer customized vaccination schedules, parasite prevention, nutritional counseling, and early disease detection through bloodwork and physical exams. Regular checkups help maintain optimal health and extend pets' lifespans while addressing breed-specific and age-related concerns.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include professional cleanings under anesthesia, digital X-rays, and periodontal treatments. We address issues like tartar buildup, gingivitis, and tooth extractions while emphasizing at-home care education. Our team uses advanced monitoring equipment to ensure patient safety during procedures and provides pain management for post-operative comfort.
Surgery
We perform routine and complex surgical procedures in our state-of-the-art facility, including spays/neuters, mass removals, and orthopedic repairs. Board-certified surgeon Dr. Catherine Reese offers specialized treatments for conditions like cruciate ligament tears and brachycephalic airway syndrome. Strict AAHA protocols ensure surgical safety with pre-anesthetic bloodwork and advanced monitoring techniques.
Exotic Pet Care
Specialized care for birds, reptiles, and small mammals includes species-specific wellness exams, dietary counseling, and diagnostic testing. Our team addresses unique health needs like avian respiratory issues, reptile parasitology, and rodent dental care. We provide habitat recommendations and early detection of diseases that exotic pets instinctively hide.
Laser Therapy
Integrative care combines traditional veterinary medicine with alternative therapies like low-level laser treatment for pain management and inflammation reduction. This non-invasive option benefits pets with arthritis, post-surgical recovery, or chronic conditions, complementing conventional treatments while improving quality of life.
