Services
Wellness Exams
Regular wellness exams help detect health issues early through comprehensive nose-to-tail evaluations. Our veterinarians assess weight, vital signs, dental health, and organ function while discussing behavior and nutrition. Puppies/kittens require frequent visits, while adults need annual exams and seniors benefit from biannual check-ups to monitor age-related changes.
Pet Dental Care
We provide professional dental cleanings and oral surgery to prevent periodontal disease. Services include ultrasonic scaling, dental X-rays, extractions, and fluoride treatments. Our team educates owners on at-home care while addressing bad breath, tooth pain, and systemic health risks associated with poor oral hygiene in pets.
Vaccinations
Custom vaccination plans protect pets from preventable diseases like rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia. We follow AAHA guidelines for core vaccines while offering lifestyle-based recommendations. Puppy/kitten series establish immunity, with adult boosters maintaining protection according to individual risk factors and legal requirements.
Microchipping
Permanent microchipping offers reliable pet identification through rice-sized implants between shoulder blades. We use HomeAgain chips compatible with universal scanners nationwide. Registration in national databases significantly increases reunion chances if pets become lost, providing proof of ownership and travel documentation.
Holistic Therapies
Integrative treatments combine traditional medicine with acupuncture, cold laser therapy, and Chinese herbal medicine. These options manage chronic pain, support recovery from injuries, and improve mobility through non-invasive techniques. Our certified practitioners tailor holistic approaches to complement conventional treatments for comprehensive pet wellness.

I have a super high anxiety cat so it's always nerve wracking to get him out of the house. The staff handled him so well and were so sweet to him! He was even in a good mood when we got back home! (he usually hides for a while after outings)

If I could give 0 stars I would. This place is terrible and will nickel and dime you for everything. I've spent over 1,000 on treatments that could have been prevented if they would have listened to me from the beginning. The tech laughed in my face when I told them I thought my puppy had a UTI. Turns out she did and went 3 weeks untreated because they didn't listen to me. I then had to pay $700 in vet bills to try and get the UTI gone that led to an almost kidney infection. The office staff is very rude and not helpful at all.

Report
Being rather new to the area, our little dog was in for a visit some months ago, then recently she started to experience unexpected health problems. After several visits to The Veterinary Hospital, it was determined that her situation would not improve; unfortunately we had to make the decision to ease her discomfort and increasing critical situation. The staff was professional, yet sensitive, and helped us by answering the many questions we had as far as options available to us.
When one is faced with such issues, you don't always absorb the information and comprehend it as well as you could. I'm sure I asked similar questions more than once, and they were patient with explanations so we could be sure we were thinking clearly and making the right choices. Should we have another pet in the future, we would not hesitate to return for their excellent care and staff. Thank you.
