Services
In-House Laboratory
Our in-house laboratory provides complete blood counts, chemistry screens, and urinalysis results within 8 minutes. This immediate diagnostic capability allows prompt treatment decisions for conditions like epilepsy and thyroid disease. The rapid turnaround time eliminates the need to wait days for external lab results, enabling faster patient care and treatment adjustments.
Digital Radiography
Digital radiography offers detailed imaging for accurate diagnosis of internal conditions. Our system allows electronic transmission of images to specialists for second opinions when needed. This technology provides clearer visualization of skeletal structures and internal organs compared to traditional film radiography, improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
House Calls
Our ambulatory service brings veterinary care directly to your home for companion animals. We provide routine checkups, treatments, and euthanasia services in the comfort of familiar surroundings. This service includes aftercare arrangements and is particularly beneficial for pets with mobility issues or those requiring end-of-life care in a stress-free environment.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair
We offer specialized surgical repair options for cruciate ligament injuries through referral surgeons. Procedures include TTA, TPLO, and extra-capsular repairs performed at our clinic. Our approach combines surgical expertise with post-operative care planning to restore mobility and joint stability in affected pets through proven orthopedic techniques.
Online Pet Store
Our online store provides convenient access to prescription medications and pet products with home delivery options. The auto-order system prevents supply shortages by automatically replenishing essentials. This service saves time while ensuring pets maintain consistent access to necessary medications and nutritionally appropriate food products.
