Services
Wellness Care
Our wellness exams detect early health issues through nose-to-tail evaluations, including weight checks and oral assessments. We create vaccination schedules for puppies/kittens and discuss preventive care like dental cleanings. Annual or bi-annual visits help maintain long-term pet health while addressing owner concerns about behavioral changes or diet.
Vaccinations
We administer core vaccines like rabies, distemper, and panleukopenia to protect against common diseases. Non-core vaccines are customized based on lifestyle factors like tick exposure or boarding needs. Our team educates owners on state-mandated requirements and the public health benefits of vaccination for both pets and humans.
Dentistry
Professional dental cleanings include ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and extractions under monitored anesthesia. Pre-anesthetic blood work ensures safety, while vital sign monitoring occurs throughout the procedure. We educate owners on recognizing gum disease signs like bad breath and difficulty eating to prevent advanced oral health issues.
Surgery
We perform soft tissue surgeries like mass removals and wound treatments in our mobile unit. Advanced monitoring equipment tracks vital signs during procedures, with pain management before, during, and after surgery. Complex cases receive referrals to specialists while maintaining continuity of care for recovery follow-ups.
Spay and Neuter
Spay/neuter services reduce pet overpopulation while providing health benefits like reduced cancer risks. Procedures are performed in our mobile clinic with post-operative monitoring. We educate owners on optimal timing for surgeries and behavioral benefits including decreased roaming tendencies and aggression in pets.
