Wellness Programs
Our customized wellness plans prevent disease through age-specific examinations, vaccinations, and diagnostic testing. Puppy/kitten programs establish health foundations while senior screenings detect age-related conditions early. Annual checkups include physical assessments, bloodwork, and dental evaluations to maintain optimal health and extend lifespan through proactive care.
Surgical Services
We perform routine and complex procedures including spays/neuters, orthopedic repairs, and emergency surgeries. Pre-anesthetic testing, intraoperative monitoring, and post-operative pain management ensure patient safety. Advanced techniques like extracapsular cruciate repair and femoral head ostectomy demonstrate our commitment to comprehensive surgical care with referral options for specialized cases.
Pain Management
Our multimodal approach combines pharmaceuticals, therapeutic laser treatments, acupuncture, and chiropractic adjustments to address acute and chronic pain. Personalized plans target conditions like arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and neurological disorders while minimizing medication side effects through integrative therapies that improve mobility and quality of life.
Integrative Therapies
Complementing traditional treatments, we offer acupuncture, chiropractic care, and Chinese herbal medicine. These evidence-based therapies manage musculoskeletal issues, neurological conditions, and chronic diseases. Certified practitioners integrate Eastern and Western approaches to enhance treatment outcomes for conditions resistant to conventional methods alone.
Behavioural Consultation
We address problematic behaviours through comprehensive assessments and customized modification plans. Treatment combines environmental management, training exercises, and pharmaceutical support when needed. Specialized expertise resolves issues like separation anxiety, aggression, phobias, and house-soiling through science-based strategies that improve pet-owner relationships.
