We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for all pets to assess overall health. Our veterinarians examine your pet from nose to tail, screening for early signs of disease, monitoring weight, and evaluating organ function to develop a tailored health plan. We also use this time to discuss concerns, address preventative care, and ensure your pet’s wellness journey is supported from every angle.

Our Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages cover essential early-life care, including age-appropriate vaccinations, parasite prevention (flea, tick, and deworming), spay/neuter recommendations, and early socialization/behavior training guidance. We monitor growth milestones and work with owners to establish a strong foundation for lifelong health.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care includes twice-yearly comprehensive exams to proactively detect age-related conditions (e.g., arthritis, organ dysfunction, dental disease). We emphasize bloodwork and diagnostic testing, such as CBCs and chemistry panels, to monitor thyroid, kidney, liver, and cardiac health. We also provide geriatric pain management and cognitive dysfunction screening.

We administer Core Vaccinations according to AAHA guidelines to protect pets from life-threatening diseases. Rabies vaccinations are legally required in Michigan, while distemper and parvo are critical for canine health. For cats, we provide core vaccines such as rabies and feline distemper (panleukopenia). We customize vaccination schedules based on risk factors and lifestyle.

We offer Heartworm Testing & Prevention programs to detect and treat this potentially fatal disease. Testing is required before starting prevention, and we provide monthly oral or topical heartworm medications to safely protect your dog. We also provide flea and tick preventions that may include heartworm prevention components, monitored through regular veterinary care.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention services include medical-grade products tailored to your pet’s lifestyle, ensuring protection against parasites that transmit diseases like Lyme, Ehrlichia, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Even indoor pets can be at risk, so we educate owners on prevention strategies and provide follow-up support.

We provide Microchipping & Registration as a permanent identification solution for pets. Our veterinarians implant 15-digit ISO-compliant microchips and register your pet in national databases like HomeAgain or AKC, ensuring they can be returned if lost. We’ll also update contact information during wellness exams for accuracy.

Our Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services include personalized diet plans based on your pet’s age, breed, and health status. We offer guidance on choosing high-quality food, portion control, and weight loss strategies to prevent obesity-related conditions. Regular follow-ups help us adjust recommendations as your pet’s needs change.

We provide Parasite Deworming (Intestinal) treatments to remove worms like roundworm, hookworm, and tapeworm, which can cause digestive issues or zoonotic diseases. We offer fecal testing to detect parasites and recommend deworming protocols tailored to your pet’s exposure risk, especially for puppies, kittens, or animals with outdoor access.

Our Behavioral Counseling includes assessments for common issues like anxiety, aggression, separation distress, or housebreaking challenges. We provide tailored solutions, including environmental modifications, training techniques, or referrals to certified behaviorists. Follow-up sessions help monitor progress and adjust strategies as needed.

We perform In-House Bloodwork, including CBCs (Complete Blood Counts) and chemistry panels, to screen for internal health issues like infections, anemia, organ dysfunction, or metabolic disorders. These tests allow us to provide rapid results and create targeted treatment plans during the same visit, with minimal waiting.

Our Urinalysis service evaluates kidney function, urinary tract health, and signs of infections or diabetes in pets. This diagnostic tool detects abnormalities such as blood, crystals, or glucose, helping us monitor diseases like kidney disease early. Urinalysis is especially crucial for senior pets and those showing symptoms like increased thirst or frequent urination.

We offer Fecal Testing to diagnose intestinal parasites, including giardia, coccidia, or other pathogenic organisms that may cause gastrointestinal upset. Testing is quick and painless, and we use results to guide appropriate deworming or treatment plans for optimal recovery.

Our Digital X-Rays (Radiography) service uses advanced imaging technology for efficient, high-resolution diagnostics. We capture detailed images of bones, organs, and internal structures to assess fractures, dental disease, or abnormalities like tumors. Digital radiographs allow instant image sharing with owners and specialists for faster evaluations.

We utilize Ultrasound Imaging to visualize soft tissues, organs, and fluid-filled structures without radiation. This non-invasive tool helps us diagnose pregnancy, organ disease (e.g., liver, spleen), or internal growths. Our veterinary team uses ultrasound to guide procedures like fine-needle aspirations and monitors pets under general anesthesia for safety.

We provide Dental X-Rays during dental cleanings to reveal hidden issues like root fractures, abscesses, or periodontal disease not visible to the naked eye. These radiographs are essential for comprehensive dental care, allowing us to address problems early and tailor treatment to your pet’s specific needs.

Our Spay & Neuter Surgery team offers standard sterilization procedures to prevent overpopulation, reduce disease risk, and improve longevity. We perform spays (ovariohysterectomies) and neuters in our state-of-the-art surgical suite with pain management protocols. Post-operative care instructions are provided to ensure smooth recovery at home.

Our Foreign Body Removal service addresses emergencies like ingestion of objects, splinters, or foreign masses. Using advanced surgical techniques and diagnostic imaging, we safely remove objects from the gastrointestinal tract or skin to prevent complications such as perforations. Immediate intervention is critical to restore your pet’s health.

We provide Wound & Laceration Repair for cuts, bites, or trauma using sterile techniques and advanced closure methods. Depending on the severity, we may use sutures, staples, or specialized dressings. Antibiotics and post-op care guidelines are provided to prevent infections and promote healing.

We provide Oxygen Therapy to pets recovering from anesthesia, dealing with respiratory diseases, or in need of supportive care. Oxygen cages or nasal tubes are used to deliver therapeutic levels of oxygen while we monitor your pet’s comfort and responsiveness, often as part of our hospitalization services for critical cases.

Our IV Fluid Therapy supports pets with dehydration, anemia, kidney disease, or post-surgery recovery. We administer balanced electrolyte fluids under veterinary supervision to restore hydration and circulation. IV therapy is closely monitored and adjusted based on your pet’s response, often combined with other treatments for comprehensive care.

While we do not yet offer in-house Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation, our team provides guidance on recovery exercises, weight management, and movement assessments post-surgery or injury. For advanced care, we coordinate with physical therapy specialists and provide tailored rehab plans tailored to your pet’s needs for optimal mobility and comfort.
