Dentistry
Annual dental exams and cleanings protect pets from health issues while maintaining oral hygiene. Our services include tartar removal, tooth extractions, and gum disease treatment. Preventive care ensures your pet's long-term dental health.
Vaccinations
Preventative vaccinations safeguard pets against infectious diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. We tailor vaccine schedules to each pet's age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Proper immunization is critical for maintaining community pet health.
Senior Pet Wellness
Specialized wellness plans address aging pets' needs through bloodwork, mobility assessments, and chronic condition management. Early detection of kidney disease, arthritis, or diabetes helps maintain quality of life for senior dogs and cats.
Behavioral Medicine
We diagnose and treat behavioral issues like anxiety, aggression, or house-soiling through medical evaluations and behavior modification plans. Understanding physical and emotional triggers improves pets' well-being and owner-pet relationships.

Brought my 2 puppies here since Dr Schoen did such an excellent job with my other dog. She is still amazing and knows how to interact with dogs (of course and their moms!) Very pleased that she answered my questions thoroughly and addressed all my questions. Definitely recommend!

I should have written this years ago, but to be honest, I wanted to keep Dr. Swiatkowski for myself. He has cared for 4 of my pets, 3 of them through some very tough older years, holding my hand through everything as well as their paws. Dr. Swiatkowski allows you to be a partner in the care of your pet. He tells you your options and lets you decide. He is very understanding, patient, diligent, and delightfully funny as an added bonus.
I have recently moved out of the area and am trying to find a good vet to care for my dog and already I am incredibly frustrated with the lack of personal attention, communication, and heart that comes so naturally to Dr. S.

This is a very, very good veterinary practice, both the doctors and the support and admin staff. They have gone above and beyond to take care of our cat (and me!) over the last 9 years, and if we weren't changing countries there is no way we would ever leave Bramer. If you are looking for a vet, look no further. This is the one.

We have had wonderful experiences with Bramer. Very professional and kind staff and vets. They have always listened and answered any questions we have had. They were very helpful when we moved overseas and had to do a lot of paperwork for our dog - we appreciated that so much!

I recently transferred from another vet hospital to Bramer and couldn't be more pleased. Dr. Resnick (sp) is professional but personable and very comfortable with my animals (2 cats, 1 large dog). The front office staff are competent and super friendly. Check-in and check-out are a breeze and the wait time is minimal (no more than 5 minutes once I was in the exam room with my kitties recently). And I could hear the staff through the walls gushing about how sweet and cooperative my kitties were when Dr. Resnick took them back to get their shots. Overall friendly, positive vibe at competitive prices. I highly recommend Bramer Hospital.

We have been taking our doggie to Bramer for 11 years. I always feel like we get great attention and care. I could see any of the docs, but Dr Retsek has been our go to!

We have been going to Bramer since I adopted my bulldog, Gwendolyn, almost 3 years ago. We mostly see Dr Retseck but have also seen 2 of the other vets when she needed an emergency visit on Christmas Eve one year. (I called that morning and they saw her an hour later.) We have been so happy with everyone at Bramer. Between the vets, techs, and front desk staff everyone is so kind and attentive. As far as Covid goes this clinic goes out of their way to keep everyone safe.
