Services
General Medicine
Our general medicine services provide comprehensive health evaluations for dogs and cats, including physical exams, diagnostic testing, and treatment for chronic or acute conditions. We utilize in-house lab equipment for rapid results and partner with IDEXX Laboratories for advanced diagnostics. Our veterinarians prioritize early disease detection and personalized treatment plans to maintain your pet's long-term health.
Dentistry
Professional dental cleanings, radiographs, and oral surgery are performed under monitored anesthesia to ensure safety. We address gingivitis, tartar buildup, and tooth extractions while emphasizing preventive care education. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and IV fluids minimize risks, and our dental package includes discounted services for pets with recent lab results.
Preventative Medicine
Annual exams, vaccinations, and parasite screening form the foundation of our preventative care program. We recommend bi-annual checkups for senior pets and offer tailored vaccine protocols based on lifestyle risks. Heartworm testing, fecal exams, and bloodwork establish health baselines to detect issues early and maintain optimal wellness.
Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy reduces pain and inflammation for pets with arthritis, injuries, or post-surgical recovery needs. This non-invasive treatment improves circulation and accelerates healing through photobiomodulation. Sessions last minutes and are well-tolerated, with visible improvements in mobility and comfort observed in treated animals.
Emergency Care
Life-threatening emergencies are accepted during business hours, with immediate evaluation for conditions like poisoning or trauma. We stabilize critical patients using advanced monitoring equipment and coordinate transfers to 24-hour facilities after hours. Non-life-threatening urgent cases are accommodated between scheduled appointments to ensure timely care.
