Preventative Care
Our preventative care services focus on early disease detection and health maintenance through regular exams, vaccinations, and wellness plans. We emphasize client education to promote long-term pet health. Tailored to each pet's age, breed, and lifestyle, these services help prevent serious conditions and reduce future medical costs.

Comprehensive dental services include cleanings, extractions, and oral health assessments to prevent periodontal disease. We use advanced equipment for safe, effective treatments under anesthesia. Our team educates owners on home care techniques to maintain optimal oral health between visits.
Surgery
We perform soft tissue surgeries, spays/neuters, and emergency procedures with strict safety protocols. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and monitoring ensure patient safety. Post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up appointments to support proper healing and recovery.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our in-house imaging capabilities enable rapid diagnosis of internal conditions through digital radiography and ultrasound. These tools help assess organ health, detect abnormalities, and guide treatment decisions. Results are interpreted by experienced veterinarians for accurate diagnoses.

We have been taking our dogs to PVVC since 2004. Dr's Casey and Karen, the original owner operators, were incredibly knowledgeable and have always been extremely professional. But, more than that, their compassion when we have had to say goodbye to our furry family members is palpable; they are good people. The doctors and staff have fought to find answers when things went sideways, cried alongside us in our grief, counseled wise options, and done what's best for our dogs and us.
Nobody could ask for more from a veterinary practice. New ownership began in 2021. Although the adjustment almost had me leaving, I'm glad I stayed. Once the hiccups got ironed out, it's been a good experience with all of the staff.

I have had my dogs and cats looked after by this clinic going on 20+ years and they have always been caring. Even with the change of ownership they seem to be rather attentive.

Just had our first appointment here and knew it was the place for our dogs. That are so in tune with the animals needs not just physically but with their anxieties as well. From the reception staff, to the tech, to the vet there was consistent compassion and professionalism. So glad we found this vet!

I've been taking my dogs here for nearly 10 years now. Drs Karen and Casey are excellent vets and they are compassionate, fair and honest in their treatments. All the staff are very friendly and their love of all animals is apparent in how they great and treat every furbaby that walks in the door!

I recently got a new cat. I ended up taking in stray. Called around my area to get her in (to get spay). They were soooooooo nice on the phone, and getting me scheduled! It was so nice to not be on hold for 30mins or to me told to call later because they are too busy. They got me as soon as possible. Which I appreciate! The staff is 100% soooo nice and very professional! I couldn't be happier! I would highly recommend them to anyone. I will be back at the end January with my adorable cat, Kiki. Thank you guys for being so awesome!

Nicest staff I've ever met. They always make me feel very welcomed and take great care of my pets. They truly care for your animals unlike other places I've been to.
