Services
Advanced Dentistry
Our clinic provides specialist-level veterinary dentistry including root canals, crown therapies, and oral surgery. With dedicated equipment and expertise, we treat dental trauma, periodontal disease, and perform comprehensive oral health assessments under anesthesia. Our lead veterinarian is completing board certification in veterinary dentistry.
Surgical Services
We perform soft tissue surgeries including spays/neuters, mass removals, and foreign object retrieval. Our facility coordinates with traveling specialists for complex procedures like cruciate ligament repairs and brachycephalic airway corrections. Patients receive pre-operative assessments and post-operative care.
Vaccinations
Customized vaccination protocols protect pets against core and lifestyle-related diseases. We administer DHPP and FVRCP vaccines for puppies/kittens, rabies vaccinations, and optional vaccines like bordetella and leptospirosis. Recommendations consider each pet's exposure risks and health status.
Behavior Consultations
Our veterinary behavior specialist addresses anxiety, aggression, and other behavioral issues using science-based, force-free methods. Services include puppy socialization guidance, senior pet behavior changes, and referrals to local trainers. Early intervention helps prevent pet relinquishment.
Wellness Exams
Annual and biannual examinations detect health issues early through nose-to-tail physical exams. For pets under seven years old, we recommend yearly checkups, with twice-yearly visits for senior animals. These visits include parasite screening and personalized preventive care plans.
