Services
Vaccinations
Core and elective vaccinations protect pets from life-threatening diseases like rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia. Our veterinarians recommend tailored vaccine schedules based on age, breed, and lifestyle while offering titer testing for senior pets. Preventive immunizations reduce disease transmission and ensure compliance with legal requirements, forming a critical component of wellness care programs that extend pets' healthy lifespans through proactive health management.
Spay and Neuter
Elective sterilization procedures prevent pet overpopulation while improving long-term health outcomes. We perform spays for female pets between 5-15 months to eliminate reproductive cancers and pyometra risks, and castrations for males to reduce prostate issues and roaming behaviors. Pre-surgical exams and post-operative care instructions ensure safe recovery, with activity restrictions maintained for two weeks following surgery to protect incision sites during healing.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services address periodontal disease affecting 80% of pets by age three. Our offerings include professional cleanings, digital X-rays, extractions, and home care guidance to prevent plaque accumulation. Left untreated, dental infections can damage vital organs like kidneys and hearts. Annual oral exams combined with scaling, polishing, and dental charting help maintain systemic health through optimal mouth hygiene.
Emergency Care
Critical care services address traumatic injuries, toxic ingestions, and acute illnesses during regular hours. Our facility handles initial stabilization including IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and pain management while monitoring vital signs. For after-hours emergencies, we coordinate with Veterinary Emergency Group across the street, ensuring continuous access to life-saving interventions like CPR, surgical interventions, and intensive care monitoring for unstable patients.
Pet Travel Services
USDA-certified documentation prepares pets for domestic and international travel, meeting airline and destination requirements. We issue health certificates confirming disease-free status within 10 days of departure, assist with rabies titer testing for EU moves, and provide country-specific guidance through USDA-accredited protocols. Proper documentation prevents travel delays while ensuring compliance with quarantine regulations for interstate and global pet transportation.
