Services
Pet Wellness
Our wellness programs include annual exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and bloodwork tailored to your pet's life stage. We focus on early disease detection through comprehensive physical exams and lab testing. Services address puppies, kittens, adult pets, and seniors with customized care plans.
Emergency Care
Available 24/7 for critical situations like trauma, poisoning, or severe illness. Our team provides immediate diagnostics, stabilization, and treatment during regular hours. After-hours emergencies are referred to trusted local specialists with pre-arrival coordination.
Vaccinations
Core and non-core vaccines tailored to your pet's lifestyle and risk factors. We offer rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukemia vaccines. Titer testing assesses immunity levels to avoid unnecessary boosters while maintaining protection against infectious diseases.
Spay/Neuter Surgery
Surgical procedures to prevent reproduction, reduce disease risks, and curb behavioral issues. We recommend spaying/neutering at 6-8 months for most pets, with adjustments for larger breeds. The surgery prevents pyometra, mammary cancer, and testicular disease.
Dental Care
Annual dental exams and cleanings under anesthesia to prevent periodontal disease. Services include digital X-rays, scaling, polishing, and extractions when needed. We educate owners on home care techniques like brushing and dental diets to maintain oral health.
