Services
Veterinary exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams detect health issues early through physical assessments and diagnostic screening. These routine evaluations help maintain optimal pet health while establishing baseline metrics for aging animals. The service includes vaccination reviews, parasite prevention planning, and tailored healthcare recommendations.
Orthopedic surgery
Specialized orthopedic procedures treat musculoskeletal conditions like ligament tears and hip dysplasia. Our surgical team uses modern techniques for ACL repairs, fracture stabilization, and joint treatments. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring to restore mobility and comfort.
Pet boarding
Our spacious kennels provide safe, comfortable housing with three daily exercise periods. Boarding includes basic feeding services and 24/7 monitoring by trained staff. The facility maintains strict sanitation protocols while accommodating special dietary needs through owner-provided meals.
Vaccinations
Core and elective vaccines protect against infectious diseases according to AAHA guidelines. Our vaccination program includes rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and leukemia prevention. Each protocol is customized based on age, lifestyle, and medical history to balance protection with safety.
Dental care
Comprehensive oral health services cover cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatments. Digital radiography identifies hidden dental issues while ultrasonic scaling removes plaque buildup. Anesthesia protocols prioritize patient safety during complex dental procedures.
