Services
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams detect early-stage diseases in seemingly healthy pets. Our comprehensive evaluations include physical examinations, blood work analysis using ProCyte CBC instruments, and T4 level testing. Preventative care plans help maintain optimal animal health through early intervention strategies tailored to each patient's specific needs.
Pet Surgery
We perform various surgical procedures including spays, neuters, soft tissue surgeries, and foreign body removals. Our surgical suite features modern equipment for anesthetic monitoring and post-operative care. Most procedures don't require overnight stays, with personalized recovery plans developed for each patient's specific needs.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings using ultrasonic scalers address periodontal disease affecting 70-80% of pets by age three. Our dental services include comprehensive oral exams, teeth cleaning, and extraction procedures. Annual dental maintenance prevents systemic infections and maintains overall animal health through proper oral hygiene.
Boarding Services
Our upgraded boarding facilities provide safe, comfortable housing for pets during owner travel. Features include individual dog runs, cat condos with windows, and twice-daily exercise sessions. Staff administer medications and accommodate special dietary needs while maintaining strict vaccination requirements for all boarding animals.
Livestock Care
Ambulatory large animal services cover bovine, equine, and small ruminant care on local farms. Our herd health programs include vaccinations, reproductive services, and Coggins testing. Portable equipment enables on-site procedures like dehorning, castration, and dental work while maintaining biosecurity protocols for farm animal populations.
