Pet Surgery
Our clinic performs spay/neuter procedures and specialized surgeries for medical conditions. Pre-operative consultations ensure informed decision-making while post-operative care includes detailed recovery instructions. Emergency surgical interventions are available during regular business hours with continuous patient monitoring.
Vaccinations
We administer core vaccines for puppies/kittens and adult pets following AAHA guidelines. Our program includes rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia vaccines with personalized schedules based on age, lifestyle, and exposure risks. Educational resources help owners understand vaccine importance and potential side effects.
Emergency Care
Available Monday-Saturday for critical conditions like trauma, poisoning, or breathing difficulties. Our triage system prioritizes cases based on severity with diagnostic imaging and lab testing capabilities. Treatment plans address both immediate symptoms and underlying health concerns during emergencies.
Dental Care
Professional cleanings remove plaque/tartar buildup while dental exams detect early periodontal disease. We perform tooth extractions when necessary and provide home care guidance. Annual checkups help prevent systemic health issues related to poor oral hygiene in pets.
Wellness Exams
Comprehensive physical examinations track weight, mobility, and organ function across all life stages. These visits include parasite screening, nutritional counseling, and age-specific diagnostic testing. Preventative care plans address breed-specific health risks and early disease detection.
