Wellness Care
Our wellness care program ensures pets receive comprehensive health assessments at every life stage. Services include vaccinations, nutritional counseling, parasite prevention, and early disease detection through physical exams and diagnostic testing. We tailor care plans to individual pet needs, emphasizing proactive health management to prevent minor issues from becoming major concerns.
Dental Health
We address common dental issues like tartar buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay through professional cleanings and surgical interventions. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures safety during procedures, while scaling, polishing, and oral surgery restore oral health. Our team educates pet owners on home care techniques to maintain dental hygiene and prevent systemic infections affecting vital organs.
Pet Lodging
Our pet lodging facility offers individualized care for dogs and cats in a comfortable environment. Dogs enjoy outdoor time in our Mason lodging area, while cats relax in private cat cottages. All boarders receive daily monitoring by veterinary staff, with immediate access to medical care if needed. Reservations require up-to-date vaccinations and parasite control.
Bath Services
Professional bathing services include deep cleansing, medicated baths, and anal gland expressions for dogs and cats. Our trained assistants provide ear cleaning, nail trimming, and optional sani-trims for long-haired pets. Sedation is available for anxious animals, and medically necessary shave-downs are performed following veterinary exams to ensure pet comfort and hygiene.
Spay/Neuter
Spay/neuter procedures prevent pet overpopulation while offering health benefits like reduced cancer risks. Surgeries are performed under anesthesia with continuous vital sign monitoring. Our team provides pre-operative exams, post-operative care instructions, and pain management to ensure safe recovery. We counsel owners on the procedure's benefits for individual pets and community animal welfare.
