Services
Vaccinations
Core and lifestyle-based vaccinations protect pets against preventable diseases. Our protocol follows AVMA guidelines with tailored schedules for puppies, kittens, and adult animals. We provide rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia vaccines with detailed documentation for local compliance.
Dentistry
Comprehensive dental services include professional cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Using digital radiography and ultrasonic scaling, we address plaque buildup and gum disease under anesthesia. Post-operative care includes pain management and home care guidance.
Wellness Exams
Annual physical examinations assess pets' overall health through systematic evaluation of body systems. These exams include weight monitoring, parasite screening, and early disease detection. Senior pets receive specialized diagnostics like bloodwork and urinalysis.
Laser Therapy
Non-invasive photobiomodulation therapy reduces inflammation and promotes healing for chronic pain or post-surgical recovery. Treatments target specific areas with near-infrared light, benefiting pets with arthritis, wounds, or soft tissue injuries through improved cellular function.
Parasite Prevention
Year-round protection against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites. We recommend species-specific preventatives with options for oral and topical applications. Our staff educates clients on environmental control and zoonotic disease prevention.

My family and I have been bringing our dogs to Boyette since 2002. The staff has always been wonderful so kind we have always had great customer service. If our pet isn't feeling well or comes in for a surgery the staff always calls a couple days after the visit to check in on them. The grooming is just as spectacular. Every time our dogs get a cut from a groomer the cut always looks nice. Usually we see Danielle for our dog's cuts she is very professional and so nice and really cares for the animals. Every haircut she has done for my dogs has been done with care and looks great.

They are amazing with animals and caring. Never feel rushed. When my Apollo passed recently, they let me take all the time I needed and really showed they cared for him and me. I will never forget how caring we were treated. I will never switch.

Do you have fur-babies? If you do, bring them here! Boyette animal hospital is by far one of the most kind, caring, and knowledgeable vet clinics I've ever brought my cats to. Amazing staff and very affordable. 5/5

I took my 17 year old kitty in a for a nail trim today, first time at the groomer/clinic. They were able to take her in as a walk in and had her in and out in under 10 minutes even though we were new to the clinic. The staff are really nice and helpful! Definitely will be going back!

I've always known Boyette Animal Hospital was a class act, but today I saw it first hand. I would like to thank Dr. Luke, his technician Jo, Marissa and Amy from reception. Today I had to send my sweet Slash on to the Rainbow Bridge. From the time I arrived and checked in, I was take care of as if I was their only client. The compassion and loving understanding toward me and the hardest decision I've had to make in a long time was so comforting. I want to thank them all publicly for just doing what they do each day without the thanks they all deserve. Thank you. I am truly grateful.

I brought my puppy in for an extremely swollen leg, and Dr. Matt saw her. He said she had an abscess on her leg, and was able to get drain it and get us medication for her, and now she is as good as new. The prices were extremely reasonable, and Dr. Matt and all of the staff was super nice and helpful. You can tell that everyone at this office loves what they do, and it truly shows I'm their work. Thank you Boyette Animal Hospital!

I was very pleased with the care my dog received while boarding. She is newly adopted and more fearful than I thought. Natalya took her time with her and made her as comfortable as possible. I will definitely use them again.
