Services
Yearly Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams help detect potential health issues early. We create customized vaccination schedules and recommend preventive care tailored to each pet's needs. Annual heartworm and fecal tests ensure complete protection for dogs, while senior pets receive specialized geriatric screenings.
Dental Care
Preventative dental cleanings and extractions maintain optimal oral health. Under general anesthesia, we thoroughly examine teeth and gumlines while minimizing anesthesia risks through rapid procedures. Post-operative care includes antibiotics and pain management when necessary to ensure patient comfort.
Surgery
We perform various surgical procedures including lumpectomies, soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries. Pre-anesthetic blood panels ensure patient safety, with overnight monitoring after complex procedures. For specialized cases, we coordinate referrals to NC State vet school or Veterinary Specialty Hospital for advanced care.
Radiology
Diagnostic radiographs allow non-invasive internal examinations using both standard and barium series imaging. Our access to board-certified radiologists enables accurate interpretations within one hour, supporting timely diagnosis and treatment planning for complex cases requiring expert analysis.
Boarding
Our limited boarding facility provides individual housing for cats and dogs with twice-daily exercise in secure outdoor spaces. Each guest receives personalized attention while staying in clean, comfortable kennels that accommodate specific dietary and medical needs during their owners' absence.
