Veterinary Dentistry
Our dental suite provides comprehensive oral health services including cleanings, digital x-rays, and periodontal treatment. We address issues like bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease while offering home care guidance. Anesthesia monitoring ensures safety during procedures, with preventive care emphasized to avoid systemic bacterial spread.
Cold Laser Therapy
This non-invasive therapy uses light to reduce inflammation and promote healing for arthritis, wounds, and post-surgical recovery. Sessions follow a cumulative schedule tailored to each patient's needs, serving as standalone or complementary treatment without medication side effects.
Pet Surgery
We perform elective and emergency procedures including spays/neuters, tumor removals, and orthopedic surgeries. Advanced monitoring equipment tracks vital signs during anesthesia, while partnerships with specialists enable complex procedures like TPLO surgeries for cruciate ligament repairs.
Behavioral Consultations
Addressing issues like separation anxiety, inappropriate elimination, and aggression through environmental modifications and medication when needed. Our team conducts thorough exams to rule out medical causes before implementing behavior modification plans tailored to each pet's specific needs.
Preventative Care
Annual checkups with bloodwork, parasite screening, and vaccinations form our preventive care foundation. We emphasize early disease detection through biannual exams for seniors and tailored vaccine protocols considering each pet's lifestyle and risk factors.
