Services
Vaccinations
We provide core and elective vaccinations for puppies, kittens, and adult pets to prevent diseases like rabies, distemper, and heartworm. Our protocols follow AAHA guidelines and include personalized schedules based on age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Vaccinations are administered by licensed veterinarians to ensure safety and efficacy.
Dental Cleanings
Our dental services include professional cleanings, tartar removal, and gingivitis treatment under anesthesia. Pre-procedure bloodwork ensures patient safety, while ultrasonic scaling and polishing protect against periodontal disease. We educate owners on home care techniques to maintain oral health between visits.
Spay/Neuter Surgeries
We perform spay and neuter procedures using human-grade anesthetics and overnight monitoring. Pre-surgical blood tests assess organ function, and pain management protocols ensure comfort. These surgeries prevent overpopulation and reduce health risks like reproductive cancers.
Laser Therapy
Companion Therapy Laser treatments address arthritis, wounds, and post-surgical recovery. This non-invasive option reduces inflammation and promotes healing without pharmaceuticals. Sessions are tailored to each pet's condition, with visible improvements often seen after 3-5 treatments.
Emergency Care
We handle urgent cases like poisoning, trauma, and acute illness during operating hours. For after-hours emergencies, we partner with local 24/7 clinics and provide Poison Control resources. Immediate interventions stabilize critical patients before referral to specialized facilities.

Questions
What vaccinations does my puppy or kitten need?
Puppies require DHLP-P, Corona, Rabies, Bordetella, and Lymes vaccines. Kittens need FVRCP-C, FeLV, and Rabies vaccines, with boosters at specific intervals.
How can I house-train my new puppy?
Use a crate for training, take the puppy outside every 2 hours, and reward successful bathroom trips. Consistency and positive reinforcement are key to success.
What happens during a spay or neuter procedure?
Spay removes ovaries/uterus; neuter removes testicles. Both include pre-surgical bloodwork, human-grade anesthesia, and overnight monitoring for safety and recovery.
Why is dental cleaning important for pets?
Dental cleanings prevent tartar buildup that causes infections and systemic diseases. We use ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and antibiotics to protect oral and overall health.
What should I do if my pet ingests human medication?
Contact Poison Control at 502-589-8222 or your vet immediately. Bring the medication packaging and follow professional guidance for emergency treatment.
Do you offer online pharmacy services?
Yes, our FDA-approved online pharmacy provides home delivery of medications with competitive pricing and automated refill reminders for convenience.
