Pet Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams include physical evaluations from nose to tail, lifestyle assessments, and preventive care recommendations. We check eyes, ears, mouth, skin, coat, heart, lungs, weight, and joint function while discussing diet and behavior changes. Regular exams help detect early signs of diabetes, kidney disease, and other conditions through blood work and diagnostic testing.
Pet Vaccinations
We provide core and non-core vaccinations tailored to your pet's risk factors. Our protocols include rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukemia vaccines with customized schedules for puppies, kittens, and adult pets. We follow AAHA guidelines while considering lifestyle factors like boarding needs and outdoor exposure to determine appropriate immunization plans.
Pet Surgical Care
Our surgical services include soft tissue, orthopedic, and emergency procedures using advanced techniques for patient safety. We perform pre-anesthetic blood work, maintain strict monitoring during operations, and provide detailed post-operative care instructions. The facility is equipped for complex cases while emphasizing pain management and recovery support through follow-up exams.
Pet Dental Care
We offer complete dental services from routine cleanings to complex extractions. Our dental wellness program includes annual cleanings, oral health assessments, and home care guidance. We provide post-operative instructions for extractions, prescribe necessary antibiotics, and schedule recheck exams to ensure proper healing while emphasizing the importance of preventive dental maintenance.
Pet Parasite Control
Our parasite control programs protect against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites through customized prevention plans. We conduct regular fecal exams and heartworm testing while recommending monthly preventives based on individual risk factors. Our approach combines education about environmental management with targeted treatments for existing infestations using safe, effective products.
