We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages to assess overall health, detect early signs of disease, and establish tailored wellness plans. Our exams include evaluating cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and neurological systems. We believe proactive monitoring is key to maintaining your pet’s long-term wellness, and we’ll always provide clear explanations of our findings and recommendations.

Our Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages are designed to give your new pet the strongest start in life. We cover essential visits, core vaccinations, parasite prevention (including Flea & Tick Prevention and Parasite Deworming), spay/neuter counseling, nutritional guidance, and behavioral foundational care. These packages also include microchipping recommendations and registration to ensure your pet is protected for years to come.

We specialize in Senior Pet Wellness Care, offering tailored programs for pets aged 7 and above. These include comprehensive physical exams (Comprehensive Physical Exam), In-House Bloodwork (CBC & Chemistry Panels), Urinalysis, Digital X-Rays, and EKG/ECG monitoring to detect age-related conditions early. We also recommend dental evaluations (Professional Dental Cleaning and Dental X-Rays) and personalized pain management strategies to ensure your senior pet’s comfort and quality of life.

We administer all Core Vaccinations essential for protecting your pet from life-threatening diseases, including Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo. These vaccinations follow AAHA and AVMA guidelines to ensure your pet’s immunity is robust and timely. We’ll customize vaccination schedules based on your pet’s lifestyle, breed, and risk factors to maximize safety and efficacy.

We offer annual Heartworm Testing & Prevention to safeguard your pet from this deadly parasitic disease. Our screening includes blood tests to check for heartworm presence, while our prevention programs provide year-round protection through FDA-approved medications. We’ll also assist with any issues related to prescription refills (via our Online Pharmacy) to ensure your pet never misses a dose.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention programs use vet-recommended treatments to keep your pet protected from external parasites. We provide a variety of options (oral, topical, or injection-based) tailored to your pet’s needs and lifestyle. Annual assessments will help us monitor effectiveness and adjust protocols as needed, especially during peak flea/tick seasons.

We provide Microchipping & Registration services to give your pet a permanent form of identification. Our microchips are implanted quickly and painlessly, with a lifetime registration included to ensure your contact details are always up-to-date in national pet recovery databases. This service is often bundled with Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages or spay/neuter procedures for added convenience.

Our Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services are led by our Certified Pet Nutrition Coach (Sarah Strickland) and focus on crafting personalized diet plans for your pet’s life stage, breed, and health needs. Whether your pet needs to lose weight, gain muscle, or manage a chronic condition (e.g., diabetes), we’ll provide expert guidance on commercial foods, homemade meals, and supplements. We also offer Home Delivery of Food & Meds through our Online Pharmacy for seamless access.

We offer Behavioral Counseling to address common issues such as anxiety, aggression, house training, and separation fears. Our approach combines owner education, environmental modification strategies, and, when necessary, referral to certified behaviorists. During wellness exams, we assess your pet’s behavior and provide tailored advice—ranging from playful tips to structured training plans—to strengthen the human-animal bond.

Our clinic performs In-House Bloodwork (CBC & Chemistry Panels) using state-of-the-art equipment to deliver rapid, accurate results during your visit. This allows us to diagnose conditions like anemia, diabetes, kidney disease, or liver issues promptly and start treatment plans without delays. We recommend routine bloodwork for all senior pets, pets with chronic illnesses, and those undergoing surgery to ensure their safety.

We provide Urinalysis as part of comprehensive diagnostics to screen for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, or crystals that may lead to Bladder Stone formation. This service is typically included in wellness exams for senior pets or any pet showing signs of straining, increased thirst, or inappropriate urination. Early detection helps us prescribe targeted treatments or dietary adjustments to preserve your pet’s health.

Our Digital X-Rays (Radiography) service offers high-resolution imaging to diagnose fractures, arthritis, heart conditions, abdominal masses, or foreign objects. We use advanced technology to minimize radiation exposure while maximizing image quality, enabling precise assessments for conditions ranging from routine dental X-rays to post-surgical checks. Sedation is available for anxious pets to ensure comfort during the procedure.

During Professional Dental Cleanings, we conduct Dental X-Rays to identify subgingival Plaque, fractures, abscesses, and other hidden oral pathologies. These X-rays are essential for diagnosing issues not visible during a visual exam, such as Tooth Extractions needs or early-stage bone loss. We use digital radiography to ensure high-quality images while minimizing radiation exposure for your pet.

Our veterinarians perform Tooth Extractions for severely damaged, infected, or decayed teeth that pose a risk to your pet’s oral or overall health. We use conscious sedation or general anesthesia to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety during the procedure. Post-extraction care instructions and follow-up exams are provided to monitor healing and address any discomfort with Pain Management strategies.

As part of our Dentistry services, we offer Oral Surgery, including advanced procedures like Tooth Extractions for multirooted teeth or complex Periodontal Disease Treatment cases. We also repair Cherry Eye (prolapsed gland of the third eyelid) with suturing techniques. For intricate cases, we collaborate with dental specialists to ensure the highest standard of care during your pet’s procedure.

Following Professional Dental Cleanings, we offer At-Home Dental Care Education to teach you how to brush your pet’s teeth, use enzymatic dental chews, and monitor for signs of oral disease. We recommend specific toothpaste, dental diets, and water additives that complement professional cleanings to reduce plaque, tartar buildup, and bad breath. Consistency is key to preventing periodontal disease long-term.

We offer Spay & Neuter Surgery as a routine preventive service to reduce the risk of cancers, infections, and unwanted pregnancies. Our procedures are performed in-clinic with strict adherence to surgical standards, including Anesthesiology & Sedation for your pet’s safety. We provide detailed pre- and post-operative care plans, and we perform both traditional and laser (Laser Surgery) techniques for minimal pain and faster recovery.

We provide Emergency Stabilization services for acute conditions such as poisoning (Poison & Toxin Treatment), severe injuries, or critical illnesses. Our team is equipped to administer IV Fluid Therapy, Oxygen Therapy, and Pain Management immediately to improve outcomes while stabilizing your pet for further diagnostics (Digital X-Rays, Ultrasound Imaging) or referrals to emergency specialists.

For pets requiring Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring, our clinic offers intensive care with continuous observation, medication administration, and close coordination with our veterinary team. We provide IV Fluid Therapy, frequent assessments, and Pain Management to support recovery from surgeries, serious infections, or chronic disease management. Our goal is to ensure your pet receives the highest level of comfort and care during their stay.

We administer Oxygen Therapy for pets suffering from respiratory distress, post-anesthesia recovery, or chronic conditions like heart or lung disease. Our facility is equipped with oxygen cages and monitoring systems to ensure your pet receives the optimal oxygen flow and supportive care. This service is often paired with Emergency Stabilization or post-surgical recovery protocols.

Our IV Fluid Therapy service addresses dehydration, kidney disease, toxin exposure, or post-operative care. We use intravenous fluids to restore electrolyte balance, support organ function, and maintain circulation. This service is commonly utilized during Hospitalization, after Emergency Stabilization, or as part of treatment plans for pets with chronic illnesses.

We prioritize Pain Management for pets undergoing surgery, dental procedures, or chronic conditions like arthritis or oral disease. Our protocols include pharmacologic pain relief, Cold Laser Therapy, and alternative modalities tailored to your pet’s needs. We consistently monitor and adjust treatment plans to ensure your pet’s comfort and maximize their quality of life during recovery.

In cases of Poison & Toxin Treatment, we provide immediate care including induction of vomiting (when safe), IV fluids (IV Fluid Therapy), medications to bind toxins, and supportive therapies to manage symptoms. We also collaborate with regional poison control centers for expert guidance and admit pets requiring Hospitalization until they stabilize. Prevention education is a critical part of our approach to keep your pets safe from common household hazards.

We provide Medical Grooming services for pets with skin conditions, mobility issues, or post-surgical needs. This includes Sanitary Shaves, Anal Gland Expression, limited clipping for medical access, and Medicated Baths to treat dermatological issues. Our team ensures these services are performed with the utmost care to avoid stressing your pet while addressing specific medical requirements.

During routine exams or Medical Grooming visits, we perform Anal Gland Expression when necessary to relieve discomfort or blockages. This service is especially useful for dogs prone to impaction or medical conditions affecting anal gland function. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to prevent recurrence and manage associated skin or tail-base irritation.

We conduct Quality of Life Assessments for pets with chronic illnesses or geriatric conditions to evaluate pain levels, mobility, appetite, and overall happiness. These assessments, often done in partnership with owners, help guide decisions about treatment plans, palliative care, or end-of-life options. Our compassionate team ensures these discussions are sensitive and focused on your pet’s well-being.

We offer Telemedicine Consultations for follow-up exams, medication adjustments, or minor concerns that don’t require an in-person visit. These virtual appointments allow you to discuss ongoing issues (e.g., pain management, wellness plans) with our veterinarians while saving time and reducing travel stress for your pet. They’re perfect for routine updates or non-emergency follow-ups.
