Wellness Exams

Our comprehensive wellness exams ensure early detection of health issues through nose-to-tail physical assessments. Veterinarians evaluate vaccination needs, dental health, and organ function while discussing nutrition and behavioral concerns. Annual check-ups help maintain preventive care schedules and establish baseline health metrics for pets of all ages.

Spay/Neuter

We perform safe spay and neuter surgeries using modern anesthetic monitoring and pain management protocols. These procedures prevent unwanted litters while reducing risks of reproductive cancers and infections. Our team provides detailed pre-operative assessments and post-surgical care instructions for optimal recovery.

Dentistry

Professional dental cleanings address periodontal disease through ultrasonic scaling and polishing. We treat broken teeth, gingivitis, and oral infections while educating owners about home care routines. Advanced dental diagnostics help identify hidden issues beneath the gumline that affect overall pet health.

Exotic Animal Care

Our veterinarians treat birds, reptiles, and small mammals with specialized knowledge of unique dietary and environmental needs. We conduct semi-annual exams for exotic pets to catch early signs of illness, offering husbandry advice and species-specific wellness recommendations for optimal care.

Health Certificates

USDA-certified veterinarians issue international and domestic health certificates for pet travel. We ensure compliance with destination-specific requirements including vaccination records, parasite screenings, and acclimation certifications for safe transportation across borders.

Fantastic rabbit vet! I was very anxious and worried about doing a neuter and teeth filling on my 5+ year old bunny as he had never been under anesthesia before, but Dr. Landers and his team did a wonderful job on his surgery and caring for him afterwards. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an experienced rabbit vet!

All though this isn't my main vets office I've taken both of my boys to get neutered by these guys and are the best and very professional. my main office wanted 600$ not including the pain meds just because they were both over 50 pound, ontop of that I work at a doggy daycare and when my youngest hurt his leg they let me come in on a short notice while my other told me to let him "walk it off" and it turned out to be nerve damage. All though they are a little out of the way from where we live I'm happy to have them to go to when I need

Its a long wait list for rabbit spay/neuter but hands down cheapest/best place to take your bunny. It took me forever to find a vet who would even look at a bunny.

We called around to find someone who was experienced with hens. They claimed to be very familiar with pet chickens so we drove nearly 45 minutes in the rain to see the vet. Our hen has a very common illness called sour crop that is easily treated. When a hen has sour crop it will be fatal if you administer pressure to the front of their body. He insisted on mashing her body. What a terrible experience!

I was degraded and the doctor wouldn't listen to my concerns or hear anything I had to say! He seemed to be very Inexperienced and didn't treat us as if he cared at all. We have been raising chickens for years! He tried to convince me she had a disease that has nothing to do with her true illness! He then kicked us out and refused to treat her. What a waste of time!
