Services
Pet Vaccinations
We provide essential vaccinations for dogs and cats to prevent life-threatening diseases like distemper, parvovirus, and rabies. Our protocols follow veterinary guidelines for puppies, kittens, and adult pets. The PUREVAX rabies vaccine option offers adjuvant-free protection specifically formulated for feline patients.
Spay/Neuter Surgery
Our veterinarians perform spay and neuter procedures for dogs and cats aged 5-6 months to 3 years. Surgeries begin with check-in at 7 AM, and pets return home the same afternoon. Pain management protocols ensure comfort during recovery, with post-operative care instructions provided.
Microchipping
We implant ISO-standard microchips under the skin to permanently identify pets. This service includes registration in national databases to increase recovery chances if pets become lost. The procedure takes seconds and causes minimal discomfort.
Heartworm Testing
Annual heartworm antigen tests detect infections in dogs using a small blood sample. We also provide preventive medication prescriptions to protect pets year-round. Early detection prevents severe organ damage from parasitic infestations.
Flea & Tick Control
We offer topical and oral medications to eliminate fleas and ticks while preventing reinfestation. Our staff recommends seasonal treatment plans based on local climate patterns and pet lifestyle factors like outdoor activity levels.
