Services
Medical Assessment
Our medical assessments involve thorough physical exams, blood/urine tests, and advanced diagnostics like radiography to identify health issues. We evaluate cardiovascular, neurological, and gastrointestinal systems to create tailored treatment plans. This service ensures early detection and effective management of acute or chronic conditions in pets.
Radiology (X-rays)
Digital radiology provides rapid, low-radiation imaging of bones, organs, and soft tissues for accurate diagnosis. We use X-rays to detect fractures, respiratory issues, and internal abnormalities, often combined with other tests. Our technology enables quick results to guide urgent or ongoing treatment decisions for pets.
Dentistry
We offer comprehensive dental services including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal disease management. Our team addresses bad breath, tartar buildup, and gum infections to prevent systemic health risks. Preventive education helps owners maintain their pets' oral health between professional treatments.
Dermatology (Skin)
Our dermatology services diagnose and treat allergies, infections, and parasitic conditions affecting pets' skin. We use skin scrapings, biopsies, and blood tests to identify causes of itching or irritation. Custom treatment plans address both immediate symptoms and long-term skin health needs.
Cardiology (Heart)
We diagnose and manage heart conditions through physical exams, ECGs, and ultrasounds. Our team treats congenital defects, arrhythmias, and congestive heart failure with medication, dietary plans, and specialist referrals. Early intervention helps extend pets' lives and improve quality of care.
