Wellness Programs
Our wellness programs emphasize annual health exams to detect early signs of illness in pets. Through physical examinations and laboratory tests, we identify potential health issues before they become severe. This proactive approach helps maintain your pet's long-term health and addresses age-related changes that may be mistaken for normal aging.
Advanced Dentistry
Led by a Fellow of the Academy of Veterinary Dentistry, our advanced dentistry services include periodontal therapy, endodontic treatment, and orthodontic solutions. We focus on preventing dental disease through professional cleanings and client education on home care techniques like daily tooth brushing.
Surgical Procedures
With over 20 years of combined experience, our surgical team performs soft tissue and orthopedic procedures. Services include spays, neuters, ligament repairs, and complex oral surgeries. We collaborate with specialists for advanced cases, ensuring optimal outcomes through board-certified anesthesiologists and specialized equipment.
Internal Medicine
Our internal medicine department addresses complex health issues similar to human medicine. Veterinarians conduct thorough diagnostics, explain test results, and develop treatment plans for chronic conditions. We prioritize clear communication to help owners understand their pet's health needs and treatment options.
Grooming Services
The Woodlands Doggie Salon offers professional grooming services including baths, haircuts, and anal gland expression. Our experienced groomers provide various styles like lamb cuts and teddy bear trims while maintaining hygiene and comfort for pets during their visits.
