Services
Dental Cleanings
Our comprehensive dental cleanings prevent periodontal disease through professional scaling and polishing under anesthesia. We include pre-anesthetic bloodwork, intraoral x-rays, and post-procedure care instructions. Regular cleanings help maintain oral health and prevent systemic infections that can affect vital organs.
Orthopedic Surgery
We perform advanced orthopedic procedures including TPLO, ACL repair, and fracture management. Our surgical team uses state-of-the-art equipment and post-operative physical therapy protocols to restore mobility and alleviate pain from musculoskeletal conditions in pets of all ages.
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams include comprehensive physical assessments, parasite screening, and age-appropriate diagnostic testing. Our preventive approach helps detect early signs of disease in puppies, adult pets, and senior animals through tailored examination protocols and customized care plans.
Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy provides non-invasive pain relief for arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and chronic conditions. This treatment reduces inflammation and promotes tissue healing through targeted light energy applications, offering an alternative to traditional pain medications.
Ultrasonography
Diagnostic ultrasound examinations visualize internal organs using high-frequency sound waves. Our GE LOGIQ eUltrasound System provides real-time imaging for abdominal, cardiac, and soft tissue evaluations, enabling accurate diagnoses without invasive procedures.
