Preventative Care
Annual examinations assess organ systems and vital statistics while tailoring vaccination protocols to each pet's lifestyle and travel needs. Our preventive programs address heartworm risks endemic to Napa Valley, with personalized health monitoring and client education about disease prevention. We document findings in medical records to track long-term health trends and recommend appropriate interventions.
Dental Care
We perform sedated dental cleanings and oral assessments using radiography to detect hidden periodontal disease. Treatment plans address dental pathology while educating owners about home care routines. Our approach prevents systemic complications by treating oral infections that could affect major organs, with post-procedure care instructions tailored to each pet's condition.
Emergency Services
Critical care available during regular hours for acute medical issues, with after-hours veterinarian access through office contact. We stabilize patients while determining appropriate referrals for specialized intensive care. Emergency treatment includes pain management and follow-up communication to ensure continuity of care for both minor and major medical crises.
Diagnostic Imaging
Digital radiography, ultrasound, and in-house blood analysis enable accurate diagnosis of complex conditions. We utilize advanced equipment like EKG monitors and cytology labs while coordinating with external diagnostic facilities for specialized testing. Results guide treatment decisions through comprehensive health assessments and specialist consultations when needed.
Surgical Procedures
Soft tissue surgeries include spaying/neutering, mass removals, and select orthopedic procedures under continuous anesthetic monitoring. Post-operative care involves pain management protocols and medication prescriptions. We maintain referral relationships with board-certified specialists for complex cases while providing follow-up support for recovery at home.
