Services
Wellness Care
Our wellness care program focuses on preventive medicine through annual physical exams, vaccinations, and early disease detection. We create customized vaccination protocols based on each pet's species, age, and risk factors while emphasizing the importance of spaying/neutering for population control and health benefits. Our mobile veterinary clinic brings these essential services directly to pet owners' homes for added convenience.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include routine cleanings, extractions, and oral surgeries performed under safe anesthesia. We utilize specialized equipment for ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and dental radiography while monitoring vital signs throughout procedures. Pre-anesthetic blood screening ensures patient safety, and our team provides post-operative care instructions for optimal recovery.
Senior Wellness Screening
This specialized screening package detects age-related conditions through blood work, urinalysis, and imaging tests. We offer comprehensive evaluations including chemistry panels, thyroid testing, abdominal ultrasounds, and blood pressure monitoring with a 35% discount on bundled services. Early detection enables timely intervention for improved quality of life in aging pets.
Sick Pet Care
Our diagnostic capabilities include in-house laboratory testing, digital radiography, and ultrasound for rapid assessment of ill pets. The hospital provides hospitalization services with continuous monitoring, IV therapy, and specialized treatments while offering referrals to board-certified specialists when needed. Emergency after-hours care ensures critical cases receive immediate attention.
Mobile Veterinary Services
Our mobile clinic delivers wellness care and basic services directly to pet owners' homes, reducing stress for animals and owners alike. This service includes routine exams, vaccinations, and preventive care in the comfort of familiar surroundings, particularly benefiting elderly or mobility-challenged pets.
