Vaccinations
Our vaccination program protects pets against common infectious diseases through customized schedules for puppies, kittens, and adult animals. We offer core vaccines like rabies, distemper, and bordetella, along with risk-based immunizations determined by your pet's lifestyle and environment. Our veterinary team educates owners about vaccine importance while ensuring safe, stress-free administration for every patient.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include routine cleanings, periodontal treatment, and oral surgery to maintain pets' dental health. We use advanced imaging technology for accurate diagnosis and perform professional scaling, polishing, and extractions when needed. Our team provides home care guidance to prevent dental disease and maintain fresh breath for your pet's overall wellbeing.
Parasite Prevention
We offer year-round parasite protection programs against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites. Our veterinarians recommend customized prevention plans using safe, effective products tailored to each pet's specific needs. Regular fecal testing and blood screening ensure early detection while minimizing health risks from parasitic infestations.
Pet Surgery
Our surgical services cover routine procedures like spaying/neutering as well as complex soft tissue surgeries. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and modern monitoring equipment ensure patient safety during operations. Post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up appointments to support proper healing and recovery for every surgical patient.
Travel Certificates
We provide official USDA-accredited health certificates required for pet travel within the US and internationally.

I love the care Dr. Lancaster gives our Marley. Marley is our 15 yr. old Westie and is slowing down. Dr. Lancaster made sure he was doing the follow up on Marley after our last visit.

The staff were so compassionate and honest when I had to make the difficult decision to put an elderly cat down. They have done X-rays, dental surgeries, and checkups/ annual shots for all my animals for the 8 years I have lived in Tyler. I cannot recommend this place enough. I have so much gratitude for this clinic and staff!
