Services
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams assess pets' overall health, detect early signs of disease, and establish preventative care plans. These exams are critical for maintaining long-term health in pets of all ages. Our veterinarians perform thorough physical evaluations and recommend diagnostic tests as needed.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings and oral exams under anesthesia ensure pets' dental health. We address periodontal disease, tooth extractions, and preventative care to avoid systemic health issues linked to poor oral hygiene. Regular dental maintenance extends pets' lifespans.
Acupuncture
Certified veterinary acupuncture treats pain, inflammation, and chronic conditions using traditional Chinese medicine techniques. This drug-free therapy benefits senior pets and athletes by improving mobility and quality of life through targeted needle placement.
Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy reduces pain and inflammation while accelerating healing for post-surgical recovery and chronic conditions like arthritis. Treatments are non-invasive, requiring no anesthesia, and are tailored to each pet's specific medical needs.
Senior Wellness
Specialized wellness programs for pets over seven years old include semi-annual labwork, radiographs, and physical exams to detect age-related diseases early. Our goal is to maximize comfort and longevity through proactive management of degenerative conditions.
