We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams to assess your pet’s overall health, detect early signs of illness, and establish a baseline for ongoing care. Our veterinarians examine every aspect of your pet’s well-being, from coat and eyes to heart, lungs, and joints, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

We offer tailored Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to give your new pet a healthy start in life. These packages include vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, spay/neuter counseling, and nutritional guidance to support growth and development while protecting against common diseases.

We administer essential Core Vaccinations such as rabies, distemper, and parvo to safeguard your pet against life-threatening diseases. These vaccinations are critical for preventing outbreaks and ensuring compliance with local and state regulations, particularly for boarding or travel.

We offer Heartworm Testing & Prevention through products like Heartgard Plus and Interceptor Plus, which are prescribed to protect your dog from heartworm disease. Annual testing and preventive medications are key to early detection and prevention of this serious and potentially fatal condition.

Our clinic provides Flea & Tick Prevention solutions, including topical treatments like Frontline Gold and chewable options such as Nexgard K9 and Bravecto K9. We also offer Simparica Trio, an all-in-one preventive for heartworm, fleas, and ticks, to keep your pet comfortable and protected year-round.
