Pet Dental Care
Our veterinary dental services include comprehensive oral examinations, professional teeth cleaning, and treatment of periodontal disease. We utilize modern anesthetic protocols and digital dental radiography to ensure safe, effective care. Regular dental maintenance prevents systemic health issues while maintaining your pet's comfort during eating and play activities.
Emergency Pet Care
Critical care services address traumatic injuries, poisoning incidents, and acute medical emergencies outside regular business hours. Our facility maintains emergency equipment and trained staff for immediate intervention. We stabilize patients before transferring complex cases to specialty hospitals when advanced surgical or intensive care becomes necessary.
Veterinary Surgery
Routine and complex surgical procedures include spays/neuters, mass removals, and orthopedic repairs performed using aseptic techniques. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and intravenous fluid therapy ensure patient safety. Post-operative care includes pain management and detailed home care instructions for optimal recovery.
Pet Behavior Counseling
We address undesirable behaviors through comprehensive assessments of environmental, medical, and psychological factors. Customized modification plans incorporate positive reinforcement techniques and environmental enrichment strategies. Early intervention prevents behavioral issues from escalating into serious welfare concerns requiring specialist referral.
Diagnostic Imaging
Digital radiography and ultrasound capabilities enable accurate internal organ evaluation and skeletal system assessment. These non-invasive tools aid in diagnosing conditions like fractures, tumors, and cardiac abnormalities. Advanced imaging helps formulate precise treatment plans before proceeding with surgical or medical interventions.

Very good visit. My dogs are coming in for a spay and tooth cleaning. Vet was lovely and even managed to cut my windhounds nails without her howling. Amazing.

They were so wonderful with my cat today! He's pretty timid, and saw a dog (which he's never really seen before) and it completely freaked him out. Needless to say, he wasn't quite himself once he went into the room. Everyone in there helping was fantastic as he was squirming and fighting everything that was being done. Thanks for being so patient and caring!

I have always had good, caring service from this office and staff. Just had an emergency with my youngest dog and they worked him in almost immediately despite being booked for the day. Thank you all for taking care of our family members.

Everyone genuinely cares about your pet. Dr. Kate Pierce has been a steady guide through the lives of two dogs. I feel well informed and supported in making decisions about my pups.
