Wellness Exam
Annual wellness exams help detect health issues early through comprehensive nose-to-tail examinations. Our veterinarians assess vital signs, dental health, and organ function while discussing nutrition and lifestyle. These checkups include parasite screenings and vaccination recommendations tailored to your pet's specific needs.
Pet Vaccinations
We provide core and lifestyle vaccinations for dogs and cats based on age, health status, and exposure risks. Our protocols follow AAHA guidelines while considering individual pet requirements. Vaccines protect against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, feline leukemia, and other preventable diseases.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup under anesthesia with continuous monitoring. We treat periodontal disease, perform extractions when necessary, and offer home care guidance. Digital dental x-rays help diagnose hidden oral health issues affecting overall pet wellness.
In-House Laboratory
Our on-site lab provides rapid bloodwork, urinalysis, and parasite screening results during appointments. This enables immediate diagnosis of infections, organ function issues, and endocrine disorders. Critical cases benefit from faster treatment decisions through immediate test results.
Ultrasound
Diagnostic ultrasound examinations visualize internal organs and soft tissues without invasive procedures. This technology helps diagnose abdominal issues, cardiac conditions, and pregnancy status with high-resolution imaging capabilities in our modern facility.
