Pet Wellness Exams
Regular wellness exams help maintain your pet's health through preventive care. These visits include physical examinations, vaccinations, and early detection of potential health issues. Our veterinarians create customized wellness plans based on your pet's age, breed, and medical history.
Digital Radiography
Advanced digital imaging provides quick, accurate diagnostics for internal conditions. This technology allows immediate viewing of images and reduces radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays. Our staff interprets results to guide treatment decisions efficiently.
Pet Dentistry
Comprehensive dental services include cleanings, extractions, and oral health assessments. We use full-mouth radiography to identify hidden dental issues. Regular dental care prevents periodontal disease and maintains overall pet health.
Emergency Services
We provide critical care for pets experiencing accidents, poisoning, or sudden illness. Our team handles emergencies during business hours and refers severe cases to 24/7 facilities after hours. Immediate intervention improves outcomes for injured or sick animals.
Allergy Testing
Allergy diagnostics identify environmental or food-related triggers causing skin irritation or digestive issues. We develop targeted treatment plans, including dietary changes or immunotherapy, to alleviate symptoms and improve your pet's quality of life.

We want to thank Dr Pike, Bailey and all the staff for your wonderful care of our rescues Randy and Molly recently. We've been with Bear creek Vet for nine years and wouldn't go anywhere else. You've always been there for all of our pets. Thanks so much!

I have been going to Bear Creek for about a year now since moving to the area and I absolutely love the practice! I have worked in the veterinary field for many years back home in emergency and specialty so I have a pretty high standard, and my standards have been met by all of the staff! The front desk staff is always so welcoming, the technicians for appointments and surgery are so happy and knowledgeable, and of course the veterinarians and surgeons do amazingly! So happy I was able to find a great place for my animals with such compassionate professional staff!

Since we started taking our three dogs to Bear Creek, we have been so impressed with the treatment they (and we) have received. Dr. Yowell has seen our pets until about two weeks ago. She was on vacation, so Dr. Gray took care of our precious Clifford. Dr. Gray let us know that Clifford had cancer, and she made us feel that she was available to us at any time through that journey. Unfortunately, Clifford crossed the rainbow bridge last Monday. Dr.
Gray could not have been kinder or more compassionate. The techs treated us with such kindness through the process. Considering the sadness we experienced, Dr. Gray treated Clifford and us with the best care possible. Well be forever grateful to this wonderful person. Sending hugs and gratitude to Dr. Gray and all the Bear Creek staff.

I can't speak highly enough of bear creek. Dr. Gray and Dr. Pike saved our cats life yesterday and have taken amazing care of him and us while we deal with this. Their kindness and compassion mixed with their brilliance and knowledge is something we will forever be grateful for. Dr. Pike has always taken amazing care of our GSD and Dr. Yowell has helped us with all three of our cats. Dr. Gray worked fast yesterday and has been there every step of the way for us. There aren't enough thank you's. I miss my boy but I know he is in the best possible hands. Honestly this entire practice is incredible. We can't thank them enough!

As a new client of Bear Creek, I was impressed by the time and attention the vet gave my senior pet. Moving is hard for everyone and finding a caring vet is one of the hardest parts. I am happy I found Bear Creek.
