Services
Vaccinations
Our vaccination program protects pets against core diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus while offering lifestyle-based non-core vaccines. We follow strict protocols to ensure safe administration and maintain vaccination records for compliance with boarding and travel requirements. Our team educates owners about vaccine schedules and addresses concerns about potential side effects.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include professional cleanings, extractions, and periodontal disease management under anesthesia. We emphasize preventive care to avoid complications from tartar buildup and offer home care guidance. Our equipment enables thorough oral examinations and treatment of tooth fractures or infections.
Pet Boarding
Our clean, climate-controlled boarding facility accommodates dogs and cats with separate housing areas and supervised playtime. Dogs receive regular exercise in our play yard while cats stay in private suites with window access. We require up-to-date vaccination records and provide medication administration for pets with special needs.
Dermatology
We diagnose and treat skin conditions caused by allergies, parasites, or infections using advanced diagnostic tools and medicated treatments. Our approach combines laboratory testing with environmental management strategies to address chronic issues. We offer medicated baths and prescribe topical/ oral medications for effective relief from itching and infections.
Emergency Care
Available for critical cases outside regular hours, our emergency services handle trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses. Veterinarians stabilize patients with IV fluids, pain management, and diagnostic imaging while communicating treatment plans to owners. We maintain essential supplies and equipment for immediate life-saving interventions.
