We conduct thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for all pets to detect early signs of illness or disease. Early detection is particularly crucial for senior pets, who may require biennial exams to monitor conditions like kidney disease or heart issues. Our exams ensure your pet receives the most attentive preventive care.

Senior pet wellness care is a cornerstone of our services. Pets over 7 years old require biannual comprehensive physical exams to assess for age-related conditions like kidney disease, arthritis, and dental issues. We tailor personalized care plans to maintain their quality of life as they age.

We perform tooth extractions when necessary as part of dental cleanings or to treat conditions like severe infections, abscesses, or severely damaged teeth that threaten overall health.

Treatment for periodontal disease includes scaling, root planing, and specialized cleaning procedures to reduce gum inflammation, reverse tooth attachment loss, and prevent tooth loss associated with infection.
