Veterinary Surgery
Our clinic provides comprehensive surgical services with advanced anesthesia monitoring. We maintain strict safety protocols using modern equipment to track heart rate, respiration, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure during procedures. Our surgical suite supports various operations while ensuring optimal patient care and recovery.
Dental Care
We offer complete dental services including cleanings, extractions, and oral health assessments. Our facility includes specialized equipment for dental procedures and pain management options to ensure patient comfort during recovery from dental treatments.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our x-ray machine and automatic processor produce high-quality radiographs for accurate diagnosis. The ultrasound capabilities allow point-of-care evaluation of internal organs, bladder stones, abdominal masses, and fluid accumulation to support timely treatment decisions.

We utilize cold laser therapy to treat injuries, reduce arthritis inflammation, and alleviate post-surgical pain. This non-invasive treatment option helps pets recover more comfortably while improving their overall quality of life through targeted pain relief.

My cat went missing for over a week, we called and asked them if any cats came in and at the time none had. they offered to call us back if any came in matching his description. about a week after we called they called us telling us one had come in. it was in fact our cat. they were very friendly, gave him food and let us borrow a cat carrier to get him home. he is now home safe and happy.

I love love love Diane! I was traveling with a dog who had explosive Diarrhea. I needed a vet in the worst way! I called around and no one but 4 paws took pity on me. They worked me in and fixed the issue! Everyone was great! They were kind and compassionate and even cleaned my dog up so we could continue on our trip. Thank you! You guys were a life saver!

The Doctors and entire team are exceptional in Surgery, General Care and Love for our Brandi Girl. Truth be told, I wish they took people. The Mayo clinic has nothing on 4 Paws. Heartfelt thank you!
