Services
Wellness Care
Our wellness exams include bi-annual physical evaluations, vaccinations, parasite testing, and nutritional counseling. We emphasize early disease detection through comprehensive nose-to-tail examinations, recognizing that pets age faster than humans. Tailored vaccine protocols and titer testing help maintain optimal health while minimizing unnecessary immunizations.
General Surgery
We perform spays, neuters, foreign body removals, and mass excisions using modern anesthetic protocols. Pre-surgical evaluations include bloodwork and imaging to ensure patient safety. Our surgical suite features advanced monitoring equipment, and we collaborate with board-certified surgeons for complex orthopedic procedures.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include ultrasonic cleaning, digital radiography, and extractions under monitored anesthesia. We address periodontal disease prevention through annual exams and home care guidance. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures safe procedures while fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel post-cleaning.
Pet Acupuncture
This ancient technique uses sterile needles to stimulate energy points for pain management and mobility improvement. Sessions last 20-30 minutes, addressing arthritis, chronic pain, and anxiety. Our practitioners integrate acupuncture with conventional treatments to enhance recovery and overall wellness.
Veterinary Ultrasound
Non-invasive ultrasound examinations assess abdominal organs and guide fluid collection. Our board-certified specialist performs detailed sonograms while our doctors conduct FAST scans for emergency evaluations. This technology enables precise diagnosis without requiring patient sedation in most cases.
