Services
Vaccinations
We provide core and elective vaccinations for cats and dogs to prevent infectious diseases. Our protocols follow AAHA guidelines while considering individual pet risk factors. Vaccination schedules are customized based on age, health status, and lifestyle.
Dental Care
Our dental services include professional cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Digital dental X-rays help diagnose hidden issues below the gumline. Preventive care recommendations are provided to maintain oral health between visits.
Surgery
We perform routine and complex surgical procedures including spays, neuters, mass removals, and orthopedic repairs. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and modern monitoring equipment ensure patient safety during operations.
Labwork
In-house laboratory capabilities allow rapid analysis of blood, urine, and fecal samples. We also partner with external labs for specialized testing like thyroid function and infectious disease screening.
Digital X-ray
Digital imaging provides immediate high-resolution views of skeletal structures and internal organs. This technology enables quicker diagnosis of injuries, arthritis, and organ abnormalities compared to traditional film X-rays.
