Cardiology
Our cardiology services diagnose and manage congenital and acquired heart diseases in pets. Using echocardiograms and cardiology consults, we develop treatment plans for conditions like arrhythmias and valve disease. Early detection through regular screenings helps prevent life-threatening complications while maintaining quality of life for pets with chronic cardiac conditions.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include full-mouth x-rays, professional cleanings, and oral surgery with multi-modal pain control. We address periodontal disease, tooth extractions, and oral tumors while emphasizing preventive care through regular brushing guidance and professional evaluations to maintain systemic health.
Dermatology
We diagnose and treat skin conditions caused by allergies, parasites, infections, and autoimmune disorders. Services include allergy testing, skin biopsies, and treatment of bacterial/fungal infections. Our approach considers environmental factors and breed-specific skin characteristics to restore coat health and comfort for pets with chronic dermatological issues.
Internal Medicine
Our internal medicine specialists manage complex conditions like endocrine disorders, autoimmune diseases, and organ dysfunction. We offer advanced diagnostics including ultrasound, blood pressure monitoring, and specialized lab testing. Treatment plans integrate evidence-based medicine with compassionate care for pets with chronic or systemic illnesses.
