Surgical Services
We provide comprehensive surgical care ranging from routine spays/neuters to complex orthopedic procedures. Our hospital features advanced monitoring equipment and a boarded staff surgeon for specialized cases. Patients receive pre-operative assessments, anesthesia monitoring, and post-operative care in a dedicated recovery area.
Dental Care
Our dental services include professional cleanings, digital radiography, and treatment for periodontal disease. Using ultrasonic scalers and anesthesia protocols, we address hidden dental issues like abscesses and resorptive lesions while minimizing patient discomfort.
Emergency Care
Available six days weekly with Sunday walk-ins, our emergency services handle trauma, urinary obstructions, and critical illnesses. Equipped with in-house diagnostics and hospitalization capabilities, we provide immediate treatment for life-threatening conditions at lower costs than specialty ERs.
Diagnostic Imaging
We utilize digital radiology and ultrasound for rapid diagnosis of internal issues. These tools help evaluate cardiac function, detect fractures, and identify gastrointestinal or urinary tract abnormalities with precision.
Wellness Programs
Customized wellness plans include vaccinations, parasite prevention, and annual physical exams. Our veterinarians develop tailored strategies for nutrition, exercise, and early disease detection based on each pet's breed, age, and lifestyle.

My dog Homer and I enjoy every visit we have at Rose Canyon. Everyone is so friendly and happy to see us. We never feel like our appointment is rushed, and we know we are in good hands. I highly recommend Rose Canyon for any pet owner.

Absolutely love Dr Michael and his team. The office is always busy but they get us in when we need. Dr Michael always is very kind, informative, and is very fair in pricing. I now drive over 30 miles to still take my dogs to him, because I trust him. I do not take this lightly with the welfare of my fur-children. His team is so nice and are always excited when I bring my furry crew in to welcome them with open arms. Just a great team and I'm very pleased with them! Highly recommend!

Report
Dr. Michael and his staff are simply amazing and compassionate. Made us feel so welcomed and Loukas, our English bulldog absolutely was well taken care of. I had moved away after taking my last 3 bulldogs to Dr. Michael and being welcomed back with our new puppy who has allergies that are out of control, Dr. Michael and his staff helped us and in less than 24 hours improvement was seen. Dr. Michael takes a special interest in each patient and is so kind and gentle. His staff is so professional and make you feel welcomed. Words could not explain our amazing return and I would highly recommend Dr. Michael and his staff to anyone. Can't thank you enough! Lisa
