Dentistry
Our comprehensive dentistry services include ultrasonic scaling, polishing, digital x-rays, and extractions. We address tartar buildup, gum disease, and oral infections to prevent systemic health issues. Annual dental cleanings can extend your pet's life by up to 25% through early detection of root infections and oral masses.
Cold Laser Therapy
This non-invasive therapy uses therapeutic lasers to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate healing for arthritis, wounds, and post-surgery recovery. Sessions last 10-15 minutes with no sedation required, offering drug-free relief for chronic joint pain and soft tissue injuries.
Allergies
We diagnose and treat environmental and food allergies through testing, food trials, and medicated baths. Services address symptoms like itching, ear infections, and gastrointestinal issues. Our approach combines medication with long-term management strategies to improve skin health and overall comfort for pets.

My gun dog suffered a laceration to her leg and had multiple cuts on all of her paws from hunting on the Missouri River. I bandaged the wound and kept an eye on it on the drive back home, but one of her paws was swelling badly. I called Cottonwood for an emergency appointment. They got my pup in right away and took such good care of her. They explained the entire procedure to me before giving my dog a few stitches and cleaning the wound.

The vet was very thorough and made sure I knew how to administer the medications to my dog. A couple of hours later and my dog is in a better mood and her paw is looking much better. This pup is more than just a dog. She's my hunting partner and means the world to me. I'm so glad that Cottonwood provided me with great service and took fantastic care of my partner in the blind. Thank you guys so much.

Dr Cash was wonderful! She spent so much time with me and my cat Tiny. She's thorough, empathetic, kind, and really went above and beyond to make our first visit go as smoothly as possible. It's obvious she really cares about the animals she treats, and their families. We are new to the area, but I won't take our pets anywhere else.
