Services
Dental Care
Our veterinary dental services prevent and treat oral health issues through exams, cleanings, X-rays, and surgeries. We address periodontal disease, tooth extractions, and dental trauma while prioritizing patient comfort with anesthesia and post-operative care. Regular dental checkups help avoid systemic health complications from untreated oral infections.
Vaccinations
Customized vaccination schedules protect pets from contagious diseases like rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia. We recommend core vaccines based on age, lifestyle, and risk factors while providing booster schedules to maintain immunity throughout a pet's life.
Wellness Exams
Annual or bi-annual physical exams detect early signs of illness through comprehensive assessments of weight, coat condition, dental health, and organ function. These visits include parasite screening, nutritional guidance, and preventive care recommendations tailored to each pet's life stage.
Senior Pet Care
Specialized care for aging pets includes twice-yearly exams, arthritis management, and early detection of age-related conditions like kidney disease or diabetes. We develop treatment plans combining medication, diet changes, and mobility support to maintain quality of life.
Urgent Care
We provide immediate medical attention for non-life-threatening emergencies during regular hours, including injuries, vomiting, or sudden lethargy. Critical cases after hours are referred to Coastal Care Veterinary Emergency & Referral Hospital for 24/7 support.
