Services
Diagnostic Imaging
Our digital radiology (x-ray) technology provides quick, detailed images of bones, organs, and soft tissues while using less radiation than traditional methods. Endoscopic procedures allow minimally invasive internal examinations and biopsies. We utilize tonometry for glaucoma detection and ultrasonography for real-time organ visualization. All diagnostic evaluations follow AAHA standards for accuracy.
Surgical Procedures
We offer soft tissue surgeries including mass removals, dental extractions, and eye procedures using superpulse CO2 laser technology. Orthopedic surgeries address fractures and hip dysplasia through plating, pinning, or external fixation. Laser surgery reduces bleeding and post-operative pain. Anesthetic monitoring tracks vital signs, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure throughout procedures.
Pet Grooming
Certified master stylist Afton provides gentle grooming services including baths, blow drying, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and teeth brushing. Services include haircut styling or de-shedding treatments for double-coated breeds. Grooming helps maintain coat health, prevent skin issues, and identify physical abnormalities. All dogs receive continuous attention without kennel waiting.
Acupuncture Therapy
Certified practitioners offer veterinary acupuncture for chronic pain management and neurological conditions. The treatment stimulates nerve fibers to release neurotransmitters that relax muscles and block pain signals. Specialized protocols address joint issues, arthritis, and post-surgical recovery while complementing traditional treatments.
Wellness Programs
Customized wellness plans include vaccinations, parasite prevention, dental checkups, and senior screenings. We offer heartworm and flea/tick control programs using Frontline and Nexgard products. Nutritional counseling develops diet plans for weight management and chronic conditions. Microchipping provides permanent pet identification.
