Pet Dental Care
Our veterinary dentistry services prevent and treat oral health issues through routine cleanings, digital radiology, and dental surgery. We address tooth fractures, gum disease, and oral infections that impact overall pet health. Regular dental care helps prevent systemic diseases affecting vital organs.
Surgical Procedures
We perform soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries using advanced equipment and monitoring systems. Our procedures include tumor removals, fracture repairs, and eye/ear operations with comprehensive pre- and post-operative care. Each surgery includes dedicated technician support and pain management protocols.
Pet Laser Therapy
This non-invasive therapy uses light energy to accelerate healing and manage pain in pets with arthritis, surgical recovery needs, or chronic conditions. Treatments reduce inflammation and stimulate cellular regeneration without medication side effects. Sessions integrate with traditional medical approaches for optimal outcomes.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our diagnostic capabilities include digital radiography, ultrasound, and echocardiography for internal organ assessment. On-site laboratory testing enables rapid bloodwork analysis and disease detection. Advanced imaging helps identify conditions affecting the heart, lungs, and musculoskeletal system.
Allergy & Dermatology
We diagnose and treat skin conditions through allergy testing, biopsies, and targeted therapies. Our approach addresses environmental and food-related allergies causing itching or infections. Treatment plans combine medications, dietary changes, and topical solutions for chronic skin issues in pets.

READ BEFORE CONSIDERING MAKING AN APPOINTMENT HERE Took 5 months to get this appointment and receptionist working on 3/24/22 in the afternoon was very rude. Practically threw the credit card machine at my mom when she was just trying to get clarification on the final bill. Two cats were taken in for an exam and one cat was not willing to get examined, but the vet still charged for the full exam and requested to reschedule my cats visit (& pay the full exam again), which is why I was trying to get clarification on the final bill.
There was no need for such hostility and aggression from the receptionist. Also, this is not the first time I have been to this vet which is why I am shocked and very upset with the behavior from this staff member. Highly recommend taking your pet to a place whose staff is friendly and more welcoming. Perhaps the front staff members should be replaced or better trained.

My dog had bad arthritis pain and could barely walk. I called asking for a pain relief or anti inflammatory to relieve my dog of pain. They said they needed to see my dog. I explained my dog could not go downstairs and he would scream in pain if you touch him. They did not care how much pain he was in they told me they would not prescribe medication unless they see him. Do not go to this vet they are all about taking your money not helping your pet.
I called another vet and they prescribed an anti inflammatory and my dogs arthritis is significantly better he can now go up and downstairs again. This vet has been giving us refills for over a year and not ever had to see my dog in person. This vet cares about me and my dog. Even medication I was getting from some erset vet is cheaper at this other vet. I will never go back to somerset vet. Their hospitality sucks. They only care about getting your money

Here's a special thank you to Rachael at SVG. There is nobody that works harder, and handles Customer Service more professionally than Rachael! She is pleasant, a good listener, and she knows how to help the clients and their pets. Most of all, she is devoted to her work and takes her job very seriously. Since she loves animals with her whole heart, Rachael wants all the client's pets to be happy and healthy for many years to come.

Somerset Veterinary Group is by far the most outstanding veterinary hospital around. I have been going there for many years and have always been impressed by the level of care and compassion shown my animals. This year, raising a cleft palate puppy, they have been there for us every step of the way. From the techs, to the office manager, to the fine doctors and excellent surgeon, we truly thank you for all your help and guidance. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for one that truly cares for their patients. Again, with gratitude from the Leitner Family.

I had a great experience with this vet. My cat needed some pretty rough mouth surgery and had a couple of teeth removed. She had a perfect surgery they gave me free samples of food to try for her and were very thorough in giving instructions and even checking on her a day or two later. I trust these vets completely with my animal specially if you have a dentist issue with your pet I would go here.
There great with dental work on animals. There prices are fairly reasonable they worked with me when they knew I'd have trouble paying and we got my cat the treatment she needed. Thank you somerset. She's doing great as you can see!
