We provide core and lifestyle-based vaccinations for puppies, kittens, and adult pets. Our vaccine protocols follow AAHA guidelines to ensure optimal protection against infectious diseases. Services include rabies, distemper, parvovirus, feline leukemia, and bordetella vaccines, with personalized schedules based on age, health status, and risk factors.
Surgical Services
Our surgical suite handles routine and complex procedures including spays/neuters, soft tissue surgeries, and orthopedic interventions. We use modern anesthetic protocols with continuous patient monitoring to ensure safety. Pre-surgical bloodwork and post-operative care packages help optimize recovery outcomes for canine and feline patients.
Dental Care
We offer comprehensive dental services from routine cleanings to advanced periodontal treatments. Digital dental radiography helps diagnose hidden oral issues while our scaling and polishing techniques remove plaque buildup. We also provide tooth extractions, oral surgery, and dental diet recommendations to maintain long-term oral health.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our facility includes digital radiography and ultrasound equipment for accurate internal diagnostics. These tools help assess organ health, detect fractures, and identify soft tissue abnormalities. Board-certified radiologists interpret complex cases to support precise diagnoses and treatment planning for challenging medical conditions.
Wellness Exams
We conduct thorough physical examinations during 30-minute appointments to assess overall pet health. These evaluations include body condition scoring, dental checks, and organ system assessments. We combine exam findings with client observations to create personalized preventive care plans tailored to each pet's life stage and needs.
