Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive nose-to-tail exams detect early health issues in pets. We recommend annual exams for most pets and bi-annual visits for seniors. These evaluations include physical assessments, vaccination updates, parasite screening, and age-specific testing to prevent disease progression.
Surgical Procedures
We perform routine and advanced surgeries using state-of-the-art equipment. Our services include ACL repairs, dental surgeries, mass removals, and orthopedic procedures. Patients receive continuous monitoring with EKGs and pulse oximeters, plus multi-modal pain management before, during, and after operations.
Emergency Care
24/7 emergency services for critical conditions like trauma, breathing difficulties, and poisoning. Our facility handles urgent cases during business hours with immediate staff response. After hours, we coordinate care with local emergency clinics while providing referral guidance for pet owners.
Pet Diagnostics
Advanced diagnostic capabilities include digital radiography, ultrasound, EKGs, and in-house blood analysis. These tools help identify internal injuries, heart conditions, and systemic diseases. We use tonometry for eye pressure checks and video otoendoscopy for ear canal examinations.
Pet Boarding
Our resort-style boarding facility provides safe, comfortable accommodations for pets. Services include supervised daycare, overnight stays, and specialized care for senior or medical needs. All boarded pets receive regular health checks and medication administration as required.

Questions
How often should my pet have a wellness exam?
Annual exams are recommended for most pets, with bi-annual visits for seniors. Puppies and kittens require more frequent visits during their first year of life.
Why is dental cleaning important for pets?
Dental cleanings prevent periodontal disease, which affects 85% of cats and 92% of dogs over age 3. Regular cleanings reduce bad breath, prevent organ damage, and improve overall health.
At what age should I spay or neuter my pet?
We recommend spaying/neutering at 6 months old, though specific timing depends on breed and size. Early intervention prevents overpopulation and provides health benefits.
How can I prevent heartworms in my pet?
Monthly heartworm prevention is essential. We offer year-round protection options and recommend annual testing for dogs. Prevention is critical as there's no treatment for cats.
What constitutes a pet medical emergency?
Emergencies include difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, seizures, poisoning, and trauma. Contact us immediately for urgent situations during business hours.
Do you offer after-hours emergency services?
We provide 24/7 emergency care during business hours. After hours, we coordinate with local emergency clinics and offer referral guidance for urgent cases.
