We recommend a physical exam at least once a year for adult pets. Our nose-to-tail exams give us a good picture of your pet’s overall health and alert us to any changes that might have occurred since your pet’s last visit.

New puppies and kittens should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible after adoption for many reasons. Most importantly young animals don’t have full immunity from disease so they need to have a series of vaccinations given at specific intervals to make sure they are safe from diseases that can be life-threatening.

We love senior pets! We recommend exams with lab work at least twice a year for our senior companions because pets age more rapidly than humans which means diseases and illnesses progress more quickly as well.

For dogs that means parvo leptospirosis distemper and rabies. Cats need vaccinations for feline leukemia panleukopenia and rabies.

Microchipping your pets is an important way to keep them safe. Microchipping greatly increases the chances that your pet will be returned to you—it’s also affordable and relatively painless.

Proper nutrition is important to an animal’s good health and we can help you choose the best option for your pet and lifestyle.

We recommend having your pet screened for internal parasites regularly and we offer a variety of alternatives for flea tick and heartworm prevention. Puppies and kittens should also have parasite screening and deworming.

Behavior issues are something most pet owners face at one time or another. We can help identify and treat the root cause of these shifts whether it’s a medical solution or one that involves training.

We have an in-house laboratory where we perform many diagnostic lab tests while you wait. We can perform blood screens pre-anesthetic bloodwork urinalysis and other types of testing on site.

We use advanced imaging technologies to guarantee the highest quality of care for our patients. Radiographs or x-rays use electromagnetic radiation directed towards the body to highlight objects within.

Ultrasound is a powerful diagnostic tool that creates a real-time image of an animal’s body. This composite reveals important information about internal processes including the circulatory skeletal and gastrointestinal systems.

Just like people pets can suffer lingering effects and discomfort from an injury or surgical procedure. We’ll develop a pain management program that’s customized for your pet’s condition and needs.
