Services
General Surgeries
Our hospital provides spays/neuters, soft tissue surgeries, and orthopedic procedures using modern equipment. A visiting boarded surgeon handles complex cases like cruciate repairs and fracture treatments. Pre-surgical lab work ensures patient safety while personalized recovery plans include pain management and activity restrictions.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include digital X-rays, professional cleanings, and extractions under anesthesia. We emphasize preventive care through home brushing guidance and annual oral exams. Advanced periodontal treatments help maintain oral health and prevent systemic infections that could affect vital organs.
Vaccines
Customized vaccination plans protect pets against core diseases like rabies and distemper while considering individual risk factors. Puppies/kittens receive series vaccinations while adults get annual boosters. We follow AVMA and AAHA guidelines to ensure optimal protection against infectious diseases throughout pets' lives.
Spay/Neuter
We recommend spaying/neutering around six months to prevent unwanted litters and health issues. The procedure eliminates reproductive cancers and reduces behavioral problems. Pre-surgical consultations discuss optimal timing while post-operative care includes e-collar use and activity limitations for proper healing.
Parasite Prevention
Year-round prevention programs protect against heartworms, fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites. We provide tailored recommendations based on lifestyle and risk factors. Early detection through fecal exams and blood tests allows prompt treatment while preventive medications reduce transmission risks to other pets and humans.

Questions
When should I spay/neuter my pet?
We recommend spaying/neutering around six months, but individual needs vary. Consult our veterinarians for optimal timing based on your pet's health and lifestyle.
Do you accept pet insurance?
We provide medical records for insurance claims, but require payment at service time. Our staff can help document treatments for reimbursement purposes.
Should I give winter heartworm/flea medication?
Yes, fleas/ticks survive indoors year-round. Warmer winters maintain outdoor risks. Continuous prevention protects pets from seasonal parasite threats and environmental exposure.
Do you offer boarding/grooming?
We focus exclusively on medical care. However, we can recommend trusted local groomers and boarding facilities that meet our quality standards.
Can you perform at-home euthanasia?
We offer in-home euthanasia in specific cases following thorough consultation. Our team ensures compassionate end-of-life care while supporting pet owners through the process.
Should I microchip my pet?
Microchipping is strongly recommended. This painless procedure during spay/neuter helps reunite lost pets with owners through permanent identification even if collars are lost.
