Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams focus on early disease detection and preventive care. Through routine physical exams, nutritional assessments, and age-specific screenings, we monitor pet health from puppies/kittens to seniors. These checkups include vaccinations, parasite prevention, and tailored health plans to ensure long-term wellness. Our veterinarians emphasize client education to maintain optimal pet health.
Surgical Services
We perform routine and complex surgical procedures including orthopedic, soft tissue, and emergency surgeries. Our protocols feature pre-surgical assessments, sterile operating environments, and dedicated anesthesia monitoring. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring. For specialized cases, we coordinate with board-certified surgeons while maintaining continuity of care.
Dental Care
Our dental services cover preventive cleanings, periodontal treatments, and oral surgeries. Using digital radiography and ultrasonic scaling, we address tartar buildup, tooth extractions, and gum disease. We emphasize home care education and offer Oravet sealant applications. Dental exams under anesthesia ensure thorough oral health assessments and treatment planning.
Internal Medicine
We diagnose and treat complex internal conditions affecting cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and immune systems. Our in-house lab supports rapid diagnostics for conditions like diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. We manage multi-system diseases and provide referrals to specialists when advanced care is needed, maintaining collaborative treatment approaches.
Geriatric Care
Our senior pet program addresses age-related changes through bi-annual exams, early arthritis detection, and chronic condition management. We monitor kidney function, mobility, and cognitive health while implementing pain management strategies. Tailored nutrition plans and quality-of-life assessments help maintain senior pets' comfort and longevity.
