Wellness Exams
Our wellness exams develop personalized health protocols for pets, including vaccine schedules and diagnostic tests. We recommend annual exams for all pets and biannual visits for seniors over eight. Following AAHA guidelines, these check-ups focus on early disease detection and preventive care. Our veterinarians emphasize nutrition, exercise, and proactive health management to ensure long-term pet wellness.
Vaccinations
We provide core and non-core vaccinations to protect pets from life-threatening illnesses and zoonotic diseases. Our protocols follow AAHA standards, balancing risk factors with preventive benefits. Services include rabies, distemper, influenza, and leptospirosis vaccines for dogs, and rabies, FVRCP, and leukemia vaccines for cats. We educate owners on vaccine importance, even for indoor pets exposed to potential pathogens.
Dental Care
Our dental services include prophylaxis, extractions, and digital radiographs performed by trained technicians. We emphasize preventive care like brushing techniques and dental products to reduce plaque buildup. Advanced procedures address periodontal disease and oral surgery needs. Regular cleanings and home care recommendations help maintain pets' oral health, preventing systemic complications from dental infections.
Microchipping
We implant HomeAgain microchips for permanent pet identification, offering 24/7 database access for lost pet recovery. The procedure involves safe, minimally invasive implantation between shoulder blades with lifelong registration included. Our staff educates owners on updating contact information and the benefits of annual membership options, including emergency hotlines and travel assistance for reunited pets.
Surgery
Our surgical services range from spay/neuter procedures to complex soft-tissue and orthopedic operations. We utilize modern anesthetic protocols and pain management techniques for patient safety. Preoperative diagnostics and postoperative care instructions ensure optimal recovery. The team specializes in laser therapy for wound healing and minimally invasive techniques to reduce recovery times for surgical patients.
