Services
Pet Exams
Our comprehensive physical examinations detect early signs of health issues through systematic evaluation of vital organs, dental health, and body condition. Veterinarians check for heart murmurs, skin conditions, and other potential concerns while tracking developmental milestones for puppies and kittens. Senior pets receive specialized assessments addressing age-related health changes, with recommendations for preventive care tailored to each animal's specific needs.
Dental Care
We provide complete dental services including professional cleanings, extractions, and periodontal disease treatment. Digital dental radiography helps identify hidden problems beneath the gumline while preventive care educates owners on home oral hygiene practices. Our team addresses tooth fractures, abscesses, and malocclusions in both routine and emergency situations to maintain pets' oral health.
Surgical Procedures
Our surgical suite handles routine and complex procedures with pre-anesthetic bloodwork and continuous patient monitoring. Services include spaying/neutering, soft tissue surgery, orthopedic repairs, and emergency interventions. Laser surgery options reduce pain and recovery time while specialized techniques address conditions affecting eyes, ears, and respiratory systems.
Emergency Care
We offer immediate medical attention for trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses outside regular business hours. Our team stabilizes critical patients with intravenous fluids, pain management, and diagnostic imaging while providing clear communication to pet owners during stressful situations. Emergency services include wound care, foreign body removal, and treatment for allergic reactions.
Exotic Pet Care
Our veterinarians care for reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals with specialized knowledge of their unique physiological needs. Services include habitat consultation, nutritional counseling, and treatment for species-specific conditions affecting bearded dragons, rabbits, ferrets, and other non-traditional pets requiring specialized care approaches.

CAUTION FOR DENTAL PROCEDURES Standard practice is to complete xrays, dental cleaning and any necessary extractions in a single visit. This visit was quoted at over $400, I had to wait several days after the initial visit for this quote to be emailed to me. When I called to schedule the procedure, the office staff informed me that they wouldn't do the extractions at the same time as his xrays and cleaning, and he would have to come back for a second procedure for any extractions.
This is price gouging and no other office that I have spoken to operates like this. The office seemed reasonable for their check-up and vaccination costs compared to other offices, but do not come here for anything dental related.

Took my cat here for pet boarding and got weird vibes as soon as I dropped her off - Just got the feeling that I was not welcomed. The attendant seemed very overwhelmed, but I brushed it off. Some things that were not communicated to me beforehand: 1) you have to call when you arrive 2) masks are optional until you get into an exam room. Poor communication and will not be going back.

They weren't accepting me patients. My sweet baby got into some chocolate. she was very sick. I rushed her there, exclaimed what happened. They rushed her to the back no questions asked. She stayed overnight. She's alive and thriving again. Then, when I found out how much the bill was, and having children, and responsibilities I didn't have enough on hand to cover. They were so gracious and let me put down a very small down payment and I have them my banking information and permission topull the remainder on payday. My bill was paid as promised. They are heroes. And now my baby has an amazing vet team that I know would do anything for her. Thank you so much to everyone there.

After our primary boarding facility was at capacity we reached out to FLAH for boarding for the upcoming weekend. We didn't have the Lepto vaccine (which other facilities don't require and some vets question the necessity of) they required for boarding, so instead of telling us they wouldn't be able to service us, which would have allowed us to find alternative plans, they had us jump through hoops with our own vet only to tell us over a day later that the vaccine would have to be administered two weeks prior to boarding. This resulted in us having to miss our daughter's end of the summer dance competition out of town. Communication and customer service were very poor.
