Wellness Exams
Annual and semiannual wellness exams detect early health issues through physical assessments, blood tests, and urinalysis. Dr. Murphy evaluates pets' ears, mouth, heart, and weight while addressing behavioral changes. Vaccinations and parasite screenings ensure long-term health, with tailored plans for senior pets requiring closer monitoring.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental cleanings prevent gum disease and systemic infections. Digital x-rays identify hidden issues, while extractions and oral surgery address severe cases. Pre-anesthetic testing ensures safe procedures, and technicians monitor vital signs throughout treatment to maintain patient safety during dental interventions.
Dermatology
Treatment for allergies and skin conditions includes diagnostic testing for environmental triggers, food sensitivities, and infections. Customized plans address atopic dermatitis, mange, and ringworm through medication, dietary changes, or allergen avoidance, reducing discomfort and secondary infections.
Advanced Diagnostics
In-house blood analyzers deliver 20-minute results, while ultrasound-guided procedures and digital x-rays provide precise diagnostics. Partnering with radiologists enables same-day ultrasound readings, accelerating treatment decisions for critical cases involving internal organs or musculoskeletal systems.
End-of-Life Care
Compassionate euthanasia services prioritize pet comfort and owner closure. The team guides families through the process, offering emotional support and explaining each step to ensure peaceful final moments.
