Preventative Health Care
Our preventative health plans include annual physical exams, blood testing, and vaccination protocols against rabies, distemper, and Lyme disease. We specialize in age-specific screenings starting at 7-8 years for early disease detection. Clients receive personalized guidance on nutrition, parasite prevention, and behavioral health maintenance.
Medical Services
We provide comprehensive evaluations for sick pets using digital radiography, urinalysis, and fecal testing. Our team manages chronic conditions through medication management and fluid therapy. Board-certified specialists may be consulted for complex cases. Emergency triage is available during operating hours for critical situations.
Surgery
Our surgical services cover spay/neuter procedures, mass removals, and orthopedic repairs. The clinic performs anterior cruciate ligament repairs and foreign body removals in sterile conditions. Post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up monitoring for optimal recovery outcomes.
Dental Care
We offer professional dental cleanings, extractions, and periodontal assessments. Preventative measures include scaling, polishing, and oral hygiene product recommendations. Annual dental evaluations help prevent systemic health complications from untreated oral disease in aging pets.
Laboratory Testing
Complete blood counts, chemistry panels, and parasite screenings provide rapid diagnostic insights. We perform heartworm and tick-borne disease testing with same-day results. Complex cases may require sample submission to reference laboratories for advanced DNA and genetic testing.
