Services

Wellness Exams

Annual and semi-annual physical examinations help prevent illness through early detection. Our veterinarians assess weight, dental health, and organ function while providing vaccine and parasite prevention recommendations based on AAHA guidelines. These visits create opportunities to discuss behavior changes and nutrition plans tailored to your pet's life stage.

Surgical Procedures

Our surgical suite handles spays, neuters, soft tissue surgeries, and limited orthopedic procedures. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures safety while monitoring equipment tracks vital signs during operations. Post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress for procedures ranging from growth removals to entropion corrections.

Dental Care

Comprehensive dental services include cleaning, polishing, extractions, and digital X-rays. We address periodontal disease through scaling and root planing while providing home care instructions. Oral surgery addresses fractured teeth and jaw injuries, with preventive education about chew toy selection and brushing techniques to maintain dental health.

Diagnostic Imaging

Digital radiography and electrocardiography equipment enables rapid diagnosis of internal conditions. Our IDEXX laboratory partnership provides bloodwork analysis for organ function and infectious disease screening. In-house testing delivers immediate results for emergencies, while advanced cases receive specialist referrals for ultrasound or MRI capabilities.

Pet Boarding

Secure boarding facilities accommodate cats and dogs with personalized attention during weekday business hours. We provide routine baths, nail trims, and medication administration during stays. Climate-controlled runs ensure comfort while trained staff monitor pets for health changes. Boarding clients receive priority scheduling for pre-travel health certificates and vaccine updates.

Easy to schedule with, friendly staff and affordable! I drove from Richmond to take my dog Mojo to get rabies vaccine renewed! All the other places make you pay for an annual and refuse to provide the rabies vaccine alone without an annual exam which usually has $100 attached to service. Even with the gas prices being $5.00, I still saved at the end as they only charged less than$50!

Tried for over two weeks to get a new client appointment. I was told the only person that could set that up was the office manager but a message would be left for her and she would get back to me in a day or two. I waited three days and when I still wasn't contacted I called again. I called every two days for two weeks and was never put in contact with the office manager, however was assured I'd get a call back and never did.

I understand personal issues arise and being very busy or even overwhelmed. However, if one person is not able to adequately handle the system in place to accommodate and accept clients then perhaps a new system is called for. EDIT: The response to this review was lightning fast in comparison. The fact this clinic only accepts a few clients at a time was not communicated and instead you and your pet are left in limbo expecting a call that never comes. I do hope the communication of how long you are expected to wait and timeliness of responses are addressed and rectified.

Love this place and the caring staff. Dr. Barton always goes above and beyond making you feel as if you're the only patient of the day. My dog can be a bit sassy but they are super patient. Very high standard of care.

Commonwealth took us in when our regular vet couldn't to help with an emergency situation with our dog. Although the outcome was not what we hoped (through no fault of their own), they were professional and compassionate throughout the process. Thank you so much for you attention to detail and excellent care!
