Services
Veterinary Care
Our veterinary care services include annual check-ups, physical exams, and preventive care for dogs, cats, and large animals. Dr. Ben Nelson and our team perform dental cleanings, health assessments, and medical history evaluations to maintain optimal pet wellness. We provide personalized care plans and urgent treatment options for non-life-threatening conditions.
Emergency Services
We offer emergency veterinary care five days a week for critical conditions like poisoning, trauma, and ingestion incidents. Our trained staff handles urgent cases between scheduled appointments and provides immediate treatment guidance. Services include stabilization, diagnostic testing, and follow-up care for pets requiring immediate medical attention.
Pet Grooming
Critter Clippers provides professional pet grooming with vaccination requirements and designated drop-off times. Services include bathing, de-flea/tick treatments, mat removal, and coat trimming. We maintain separate payment processing for grooming and require pets to be on leashes or in carriers during visits to ensure safety and comfort.
Vaccinations
We administer essential vaccinations to maintain pet health and comply with grooming requirements. Our staff schedules vaccination appointments separately from grooming services and maintains proper documentation for all administered vaccines. This ensures pets meet health standards for other services while protecting against common diseases.
Pet Check-Ups
Annual physical exams assess pets' overall health from head to tail. These check-ups include dental evaluations, behavioral assessments, and medical history reviews. We recommend yearly visits to detect early signs of health issues and maintain comprehensive wellness records for long-term pet care management.
