Regular vaccinations protect pets from common infectious diseases. Our wellness exams include tailored vaccine schedules based on age, lifestyle, and health status. We follow AAHA guidelines to ensure optimal disease prevention while minimizing risks.

We diagnose and treat dental issues like gum disease, tooth decay, and oral infections. Routine cleanings and dental exams prevent pain and systemic health problems. Advanced procedures address extractions, root canals, and periodontal therapy.
Surgery
Our surgical services include spaying/neutering, soft tissue procedures, and orthopedic repairs. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures safety, while modern equipment supports sterile techniques. Post-operative care focuses on pain management and recovery monitoring.
Radiology
On-site digital radiography enables rapid diagnosis of fractures, joint issues, and internal abnormalities. We perform thoracic, abdominal, and orthopedic imaging with advanced contrast studies. Results guide treatment for conditions affecting bones, organs, and soft tissues.

Ultrasound evaluates internal organs like the liver, kidneys, and heart. This non-invasive tool detects tumors, cysts, and structural abnormalities. It guides biopsies and supports reproductive health assessments for accurate, real-time diagnostics.

I call this place because my dogs vet was full and I had an emergency. The girl on the phone was very rude and said if she is not our patient she can not be seen. I said are you full is that why I have an emergency with my dog and she said no the dog is not our patient. I cried and hung up This is insane that a vet would treat an animal like this Shame on you! The sad part is my sister told me to call because her dogs goes there and now they just lost a client! there suppose to care for animals and instead they turned me away with nothing else but she is not our patient Sad

I took my husky here 7 years ago. The night we brought her home she was screaming in pain to the point the neighbors above called the police. Could've been situational, whatever. Now she's on Prion and the doctors I've taken her to say that the scars from the spay is worse than it should be. Without the prion she leaks.

You always take the best care of my cat. And always explain his treatment in a way I understand. Your reception knows us by face and always squeezes us in when we need to. Thank you again. He's feeling better already!
