Emergency Care
We provide emergency veterinary care for pets requiring immediate attention. Our team handles critical cases including toxin ingestion, trauma, and severe illness. While maintaining limited emergent capabilities, we coordinate with regional 24/7 specialty hospitals for complex cases after hours. Our staff offers guidance for pet owners assessing emergency situations.
Equine Care
Our practice offers comprehensive equine veterinary services including wellness exams, vaccinations, castration, and AI breeding. We provide routine health maintenance and urgent care for horses with access to specialized equine facilities. Our veterinarians have decades of experience in equine reproduction and lameness treatment.
Dental Cleanings
We perform professional dental cleanings to maintain pets' oral health and prevent systemic disease. Our services include scaling, polishing, and oral examinations under anesthesia. Regular dental care helps prevent painful periodontal disease and supports overall wellness in small animals.

We administer core and elective vaccinations to protect pets against infectious diseases. Our vaccination protocols follow AAHA guidelines and include annual boosters and specialized vaccines like canine influenza for boarding pets. We provide rabies vaccination certificates and titer testing options.

Our surgical team performs spaying and neutering procedures to improve pets' health and prevent overpopulation. We offer pre-anesthetic bloodwork, pain management, and post-operative care instructions. These procedures help prevent reproductive cancers and behavioral issues in small animals.
