Wellness and Vaccinations
Our wellness programs combine routine exams with tailored vaccination schedules to prevent disease and detect health issues early. We emphasize nutritional guidance and lifestyle recommendations to maintain optimal pet health through every life stage. This proactive approach helps extend pets' lifespans while minimizing future medical complications.
Acupuncture
Using traditional Chinese techniques, we insert fine needles at specific points to stimulate healing and pain relief. This treatment effectively addresses arthritis, respiratory issues, and chronic pain while boosting immune function. Sessions are customized to each pet's condition and comfort level.
Chiropractic Care
Our certified practitioners perform manual adjustments to correct musculoskeletal misalignments. This therapy improves mobility, reduces pain, and enhances nervous system function for pets with joint issues or post-injury recovery needs. Treatments are gentle and adapted to each animal's size and sensitivity.
Surgery
We provide comprehensive surgical care with pre-operative diagnostics and post-operative monitoring. Our Fear Free protocols minimize stress during recovery, while integrative pain management techniques complement conventional post-surgery care. Procedures range from routine spays/neuters to complex soft-tissue surgeries.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations address chronic conditions and support organ function without pharmaceutical side effects. We combine centuries-old remedies with modern research to create blends that improve digestion, respiratory health, and immune response while promoting overall wellness in cats and dogs.

Needed to refill prescription originally told bring my cat back to recheck already spent $550 to verify problem. I was told another $85 for prescription. Found exact product on ebay for $30 no charge shipping. Cant stand business that rip you off in this case i would of had to pay another $550 to tell me what i already paid for but a couple of weeks before. Will never go back to this vet again. They know your vulnerable so they take advantage of you.
Trust me when i say will make sure all my neighbors know about my experience. I appreicate the first visit to find out problem which i knew about it in advance by going on utube. But needed confirmation.

I had to move to the area with short notice and my pup was on the tail end of a long road with blood platelet problems. They were awesome with getting a quick appointment, gave great options on her care and emailed her after appointment care to save time having to call back for them : A+++ I'll be taking her there again!

I have been with Wise and Wonderful for years. Dr. Jordan truely made the place. Now.eh. It is overpriced, and I feel definitely gouges. They also consistently make mistakes and won't take responsibility for those mistakes. Every time I try and refill prescriptions and whomever tries to verify (Costco, Chewy, Pharmacy) with Wise and Wonderful they consistently don't respond and then say they do and its the other party. I just cant anymore.
