Services
Wellness Care
Our comprehensive wellness exams establish health baselines and detect early disease indicators through physical exams and blood screenings. We provide tailored vaccination schedules, parasite prevention, and dental care to maintain optimal health. Services include weight management, nutrition counseling, and senior pet evaluations to ensure long-term wellness for pets at every life stage.
Vaccinations
We offer core and non-core vaccines for dogs and cats, including rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia. Our customized vaccination plans consider lifestyle factors and exposure risks. The canine influenza vaccine protects against H3N2 strain for pets that board or attend daycare. We follow strict protocols for booster schedules and vaccine efficacy monitoring.
Dental Care
Our dental services include comprehensive oral assessments, teeth cleaning with piezo-electric scalers, and digital x-rays. We treat gum disease, perform extractions, and apply dental sealants. Preventive care includes home care recommendations and specialized products to maintain oral health and prevent systemic infections from dental bacteria.
Orthopedic Surgery
We perform TPLO procedures for cruciate ligament tears and fracture repairs using pins or plates. Our AO-certified surgeon handles complex cases like femoral head ostectomies and amputations. Pre-surgical diagnostics and post-operative monitoring ensure safe outcomes. Recovery timelines average 2-3 months with personalized rehabilitation plans.
Soft Tissue Surgery
Our surgical capabilities include spays/neuters, mass removals, hernia repairs, and foreign body extractions. Advanced procedures cover bladder stone removal, eyelid surgeries, and corneal treatments. We use modern monitoring equipment and provide post-operative follow-ups to ensure proper healing and patient comfort.
