Services
Pet Wellness
Our wellness exams recommend annual to semi-annual checkups, equivalent to human medical exams every 7 years. These evaluations focus on early disease detection through bloodwork, physical exams, and tailored nutrition plans. Our preventive approach helps extend pets' lifespans while maintaining quality of life through proactive health management.
Vaccinations
Annual vaccinations protect against debilitating diseases, including rabies with parish registration. Our protocols follow veterinary guidelines to ensure optimal immunity while minimizing risks. We educate clients about vaccine benefits and maintain detailed records to track each pet's immunization schedule and compliance requirements.
Bathing
Medicated bathing addresses skin conditions using specialized shampoos and gentle techniques. Our staff provides therapeutic baths with massage to improve coat health while ensuring pet comfort. This service combines medical care with stress-reduction methods for animals requiring dermatological treatment.
Surgery
We perform surgeries 3-4 days weekly using modern anesthetics and monitoring equipment. Preoperative bloodwork, IV catheters, and pain management protocols ensure patient safety. Our surgical expertise includes soft tissue and orthopedic procedures, with postoperative care instructions tailored to each pet's recovery needs.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment under anesthesia. We utilize digital radiography to diagnose hidden oral issues and provide home care guidance to maintain dental hygiene. Regular dental checkups prevent systemic infections that can affect pets' overall health.
