Services

Pet Surgery

Our surgical services include routine procedures and complex operations performed with modern equipment and techniques. We provide comprehensive pre-operative assessments, pain management, and post-operative care. Our team maintains strict sterilization protocols and monitoring during all procedures to ensure patient safety.

General Ultrasound

Diagnostic ultrasound services help us evaluate internal organs and detect abnormalities in real-time. This non-invasive technology provides detailed images of soft tissues and organ structures. Our trained professionals interpret results to support accurate diagnoses and treatment planning for various medical conditions.

Class IV Laser Therapy

This advanced therapy option reduces inflammation, promotes healing, and manages pain through targeted light energy. We use it for post-surgical recovery, arthritis management, and soft tissue injuries. The non-invasive treatment complements traditional medical approaches while minimizing medication requirements for many patients.

Dog Wellness

Our wellness programs include comprehensive physical exams, vaccination schedules, parasite prevention, and nutritional counseling for dogs. We tailor recommendations based on age, breed, and lifestyle factors. Regular wellness visits help detect potential health issues early for better treatment outcomes.

Cat Wellness

Specialized wellness services address feline-specific health needs through routine checkups and preventive care. We offer vaccination programs, dental assessments, and behavior consultations tailored to cats' unique requirements. Our fear-free handling techniques help reduce stress during veterinary visits for feline patients.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness, Value Please NOBODY go here. They have the absolute worst customer service. They will treat your pet for random things without your approval and charge you for it. They refused to give medication that a pet needed and then blocked the door just because they wanted money. DO NOT trust this place. They need to be shut down.

Horrible this vet told me the visit would be under 200 they did 0 shots on my kittens they did nothing but clean the kittens ears when I went to check out they charged me 511 dollars and then when I said I have 200 I can pay and make payments the lady insisted I apply for a credit card then when I said no she insisted I call friends and family for money then when she refused to let me make the 200 payment I said I was leaving and the lady blocked the door and would not let me leave and I had to call the police I just spoke to my breeder also she said it states on the paper work I gave the vet from her that they were already tested for lukeemia and they were givin the paperwork showing and still tested them again knowing they can't develop that money hungry vet!

10/10 experience. They are professional, prompt, and so kind, and they are very reasonably priced This place was an answered prayer for me. I called every vet office in the area (12 to be exact )and Howell Veterinary care center was the only vet office willing to help us on such short notice. I am truly blown away by the kindness they've shown to not only my fur baby but to me and my children as well.

I've never had such a pleasant experience with a vets office before, and I've been to many. My cat got excellent care and is now on the road to recovery thanks to HVCC. I'm so grateful to have found them! I will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!

This was the only office that was willing to accept us when everybody was getting their 4 legged friends, and we couldn't have been happier with the decision to go and stick with them. Albeit a drive for us, it becomes a fun field trip! We took our dog, Ella, there the day after we got her and have gone multiple times for the check ups, vaccines, and even a spay! I would wholeheartedly recommend this office!
