Services
Dental Care
Our dental services include anesthetic cleanings, oral surgery, and preventive care for periodontal disease. We use digital dental radiography to diagnose issues below the gum line and provide education on at-home care. Annual cleanings and advanced treatments ensure pets maintain oral health to prevent systemic complications.
Diagnostics
We offer in-house lab testing, digital radiography, and ultrasound for rapid diagnosis. Services include blood work, parasite screening, cytology, and advanced imaging. Our partnerships with reference labs enable allergy testing and specialized analysis to create targeted treatment plans for complex conditions.
Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses light energy to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing. It benefits pets with arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and chronic pain. Sessions last 5-10 minutes, with effects lasting up to 24 hours. The therapy stimulates cell regeneration without adverse side effects.
Reproductive Health
We provide canine breeding management, including genetic testing, prenatal care, and neonatal monitoring. Services cover pre-breeding consultations, pregnancy diagnostics, and ethical breeding guidance. Our team collaborates with breed clubs to maintain high standards for puppy health and socialization.
Surgery
Our surgical suite offers spays/neuters, tumor removals, and complex procedures like C-sections. Advanced anesthesia protocols and multi-modal pain management ensure patient safety. Pre-surgical bloodwork and 24/7 monitoring minimize risks, with post-op care focused on rapid recovery.
