Services
Laboratory Testing
Our in-house laboratory provides rapid blood work analysis, urinalysis, and microscopic evaluations. We partner with commercial labs for specialized tests like biopsies and fecal examinations. This dual approach ensures accurate diagnostics while maintaining quick turnaround times for urgent cases, supporting timely treatment decisions.
Pet Surgery
We perform surgical procedures with pre-anesthetic evaluations and continuous monitoring of vital signs. Our protocols include pain management and post-operative care. The surgical team utilizes modern techniques for soft tissue and orthopedic procedures, ensuring patient safety and optimal recovery outcomes.
Ultrasound Imaging
Our ultrasound technology enables non-invasive examination of internal organs. This imaging modality helps diagnose urinary tract issues, gastrointestinal disorders, and cardiac conditions. Board-certified radiologists can review images remotely through telemedicine consultations when specialized interpretation is required.
Microchipping
We implant microchips subcutaneously for permanent pet identification. This quick procedure, performed without sedation, provides a critical link between lost pets and their owners. Our staff registers chips in national databases and verifies proper function during routine wellness exams.
Dental Care
Our dental suite offers comprehensive oral health services including cleaning, polishing, periodontal treatment, and dental radiography. We address tooth extractions and oral surgeries while emphasizing preventative care to maintain dental health and prevent systemic infections.
