Services
Heartworm Prevention
Our clinic provides comprehensive heartworm and parasite prevention tailored to your pet's lifestyle. We offer monthly chewables, topical treatments, and flea/tick collars. Annual blood testing ensures early detection of heartworm disease. Our team educates owners on environmental control measures to protect pets from fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites.
Pet Microchipping
We implant rice-sized microchips under pets' skin for permanent identification. The quick injection process creates a lifelong link to owner contact information through national registries. Our staff assists with registration and updates, emphasizing microchips as the most reliable method for reuniting lost pets with families.
Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings include ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and oral examinations under anesthesia. We address periodontal disease, tooth extractions, and oral infections. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures patient safety. Post-procedure care instructions help maintain oral health between visits to prevent systemic complications from dental disease.
Digital X-Rays
Our digital radiography system provides immediate high-resolution images for diagnosing fractures, bladder stones, and organ abnormalities. Board-certified radiologists review complex cases within hours. This non-invasive tool aids surgical planning and post-operative assessments while minimizing patient discomfort during diagnostic procedures.
Wellness Exams
Annual comprehensive exams assess pets' overall health from nose to tail. We evaluate weight, dental health, organ function, and detect early disease signs. Bloodwork establishes health baselines for senior pets. These visits include vaccination updates, parasite screening, and personalized care recommendations to maintain long-term wellness.
