Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams ensure early detection of health issues. We perform physical assessments, review medical history, and recommend preventive care tailored to your pet's age and breed. Regular check-ups help maintain optimal health through timely vaccinations and parasite prevention.
Vaccinations
We offer core and elective vaccinations for dogs, cats, and ferrets. Our protocols follow AAHA guidelines, including rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia vaccines. We provide vaccination titers to assess immunity and maintain proper protection against infectious diseases.
Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent periodontal disease. Our services include ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and oral examinations under anesthesia. We educate owners on home dental care to maintain oral health between professional cleanings.
Boarding Services
Our boarding facility accommodates dogs, cats, and exotic pets with clean, comfortable enclosures. We provide three daily exercise breaks, Science Diet food, and medication administration. Pets staying three nights receive a complimentary bath to ensure they stay fresh during their stay.
Diagnostic Testing
In-house diagnostic capabilities include blood work, urinalysis, and fecal exams. We utilize IDEXX Reference Labs for advanced testing like bacterial cultures and thyroid panels. Digital radiography enables quick imaging for bone fractures, bladder stones, and internal organ assessment.
