Services
General Wellness
Our PAW Wellness Plans provide comprehensive preventive care for pets, including routine checkups, vaccinations, and parasite control. These customized plans help maintain optimal health through early disease detection and tailored treatment recommendations. Our preventive approach reduces long-term medical costs while ensuring pets receive consistent, high-quality care throughout their lives.
Dentistry
Annual dental exams and professional cleanings protect pets from oral diseases that can affect overall health. Our veterinary dentists use advanced equipment to perform thorough teeth cleaning, extractions, and oral health assessments. Regular dental care prevents painful conditions and systemic infections that may arise from untreated periodontal disease in pets.
Radiography
Diagnostic radiography helps identify internal injuries, bone fractures, and organ abnormalities in pets. Our digital X-ray technology provides immediate imaging for faster diagnosis during emergencies. This non-invasive tool supports accurate treatment planning for both acute trauma cases and chronic medical conditions affecting pets.
Surgery
We perform soft tissue, orthopedic, and cosmetic surgeries using modern anesthetic protocols and monitoring equipment. Our surgical services address injuries, congenital defects, and disease conditions requiring operative intervention. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring to ensure optimal healing outcomes for animal patients.
End of Life Care
Our compassionate end-of-life care includes euthanasia services and memorial options for pet owners. We provide emotional support and guidance during difficult decision-making processes. Cremation and burial services allow families to honor their pets' lives with dignity and personalized remembrance opportunities.

I have been bringing my Kiwi here for years. They helped me find affordable care for when she had parvo, all through her life. She's a healthy 5 year old now and she always enjoys that they all remember her. She wags her tail with everyone that passes her by. I am so in love with them that when I met my husband we started bringing in his older dog Roxy to start getting treated. She was a farm dog and very anxious.
They were always so kind with her and worked beautifully to help her all the way until it was time to help her pass on from the world. They gave us so much time and were so graceful with helping her pass. I cannot thank that wonderful vets and techs from FPC and will always go to them for all of my pets needs. Even my snakes Thank you FPC

Will never go to or recommend this vet again. We had a 13 yo huskie they diagnosed with cancer. After talking further we all agreed it would be ok to take him home for a few days to make it his best days before it was time. He took a turn for the worse today and we decided it was time to let him go. When we called this morning to let them know we were on our way we were told they didn't have time to help us end his life peacefully. I guess compassion isn't as much a priority as making sure they didn't have to work any longer on a Friday.

The vet was very thorough with my new adopted dog. She caught a lot of stuff the shelter and their recommended vet missed. Now my dog is finally healing and feeling better!

Everyone at this office has been attentive, patient, and kind. I never feel rushed out. The vet answers all my questions and gives detailed information about the treatment plan and things to consider. They also have easy scheduling and a pretty good app. I love going here.

Dr. Miranda is the best. She sees all three of our pugs and they absolutely love her! We have been visiting this vet for almost two years and feel so fortunate. Our pugs are on the paw plan and it helps taking care of them a no brainer! This office was our first pic when we moved here to the area and we nailed it!
