Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams include physical assessments, vaccinations, and preventive screenings. We evaluate dental health, vision, ear condition, and organ function through hands-on examination and lab tests. Early detection of potential issues allows for timely intervention, helping maintain your pet's optimal health while creating medical baselines for future reference.
Surgical Procedures
We perform routine surgeries at our Beacon location while complex cases are handled at our specialized Hopewell Junction facility. Our board-certified surgeons use advanced anesthetic monitoring and pain management protocols. Procedures include spays/neuters, mass removals, and specialized orthopedic operations with comprehensive postoperative care and recovery support.
Dental Care
Our dental services combine ultrasonic scaling with digital radiography for complete oral health assessment. We treat periodontal disease, perform extractions, and offer home care guidance. Regular cleanings prevent systemic infections while digital X-rays help detect hidden dental issues below the gumline that could impact overall health.
