Tailored options ensure puppies/kittens receive age-appropriate care while senior pets get specialized diagnostic testing. Enrollment saves clients 30-60% compared to a la carte services while ensuring comprehensive health maintenance.
Vaccinations
We provide core and lifestyle-based vaccinations for cats and dogs, customized to each pet's risk factors. Our protocols follow AAHA guidelines with personalized schedules for puppies/kittens and adult pets. Services include rabies, distemper, leptospirosis, and feline leukemia vaccines. We offer annual boosters and titer testing to ensure optimal immune protection while minimizing unnecessary vaccinations.
Teeth Cleaning
Professional dental cleanings include ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and digital imaging under anesthesia. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures patient safety. We treat periodontal disease, extract damaged teeth when necessary, and provide post-operative pain management. Our team educates clients on home care techniques and offers dental diets to maintain oral health between professional cleanings.
Spay and Neuter
We perform spay/neuter surgeries for cats and dogs using modern anesthetic protocols. Services include pre-surgical exams, pain management, and post-operative care. These procedures prevent pet overpopulation while offering health benefits like reduced cancer risk. Our team provides detailed recovery instructions and follow-up care to ensure proper healing.
