Our comprehensive physical exams and preventative medicine programs help detect health issues early. Services include wellness checkups, parasite testing, and chronic condition management for dogs and cats of all ages. Our team develops customized vaccine protocols and preventative care plans to maintain optimal pet health.

Vaccinations

We provide core and elective vaccinations tailored to your pet's lifestyle and risk factors. Our vaccine protocols follow AAHA guidelines while considering individual needs. Services include rabies, distemper, bordetella, and feline leukemia vaccinations with proper documentation for licensing requirements.

Dentistry

Digital radiography helps identify hidden dental issues, while preventive care education helps owners maintain their pets' oral health between visits.

Microchip Identification

Permanent microchipping services offer reliable pet identification. Using ISO-standard chips, we implant devices between the shoulder blades and register them in national databases. This quick procedure provides lifelong identification security, significantly increasing reunion chances for lost pets.

Nutritional Counseling

We address weight management, food allergies, and medical conditions through prescription diets and feeding strategies. Services include body condition assessments and dietary transition guidance for optimal pet wellness.

Where to start at their failures. Thankfully we moved and started at a new vet. Never did VAC reccomend a teeth cleaning, but our new vet did. 13 teeth have to be pulled, has a fistula because of infection. This on top of having my other dog on too high a dose of rimadyl. Stay away, they are inept at their job

Knew this place from my brother and sister in law. Started taking my cat here. Always a good experience. The staff is helpful and they are always so nice. Location and service works perfectly and I'm happy we decided to bring our cat there when we adopted him.

Do NOT take your beloved pet to Village Animal Clinic - they killed my 4 yr old English Bulldog. After her shots with a clean bill of health my dog started having some respiratory distress on the drive home. I turned around and took her back to the vet. They pushed her anxiety over the edge. The vet did not give her enough sedation to calm her down. The techs were inept and ineffectual trying to give her oxygen.

They were letting her suffer and then she had cardiac arrest and died. I was not in the room at that point. Not only did the vet NOT come talk to me (not even a call hours later) a tech blocked me from entering the room where I could see my lifeless dog on the table and threatened me to not upset the vet - who was nowhere to be seen anyway. Their negligence and lack of training killed my dog.

First time here yesterday. Teddy was treated with great care. Vet explained everything. She gave us options as well as gave us recommendations honestly. Thank you for taking care of our Teddy.

Brought my dog in for bloody buildup in her ears. They said it was infection. Tried the ear drops for a couple weeks, didn't clear up. Went back, told me to try this ear drop next. Didn't work. Then it was a whole slew of meds because they didn't know what the issue was. That turned me off. I see your response and I appreciate it, but the second visit and second war meds didn't work either. So then the solution was all kinds of meds even though none of your staff could tell me what the problem was. How do you prescribe meds when you don't know what the problem is?
