Services
Routine Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive physical examinations assess your pet's overall health, including weight, coat condition, dental health, and organ function. These visits allow early detection of potential issues and establish baseline health metrics for future reference. Our veterinarians provide tailored recommendations for preventive care and lifestyle adjustments.
Vaccinations
We administer core and non-core vaccines following AAHA guidelines to protect against infectious diseases. Our vaccination protocols consider your pet's age, lifestyle, and risk factors. The Healthy Start Program offers discounted series vaccinations for puppies and kittens, ensuring proper immunity development through booster shots.
Dentistry
Our dental services include professional cleanings, digital dental X-rays, and treatment for periodontal disease. Regular dental care prevents systemic infections and maintains oral health. We provide home care guidance and perform extractions or other dental procedures under anesthesia when necessary.
Senior Wellness Packages
This comprehensive package includes bloodwork, urinalysis, and physical exams to monitor age-related changes in pets over seven years old. Early detection of conditions like kidney disease or diabetes allows timely intervention. The $299 package offers diagnostic testing and personalized care plans for mature pets.
Surgical Procedures
We perform routine surgeries like spays/neuters and address emergency cases requiring abdominal or orthopedic procedures. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures surgical safety, and pain management protocols follow all operations. Our facility maintains strict sterilization standards for optimal patient outcomes.
