We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for dogs and cats, evaluating all aspects of their health from nose to tail.

This proactive approach helps us establish a baseline for your pet’s health and tailor preventive care to their needs.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to support the unique health needs of young pets. These packages include vaccinations, parasite prevention, nutritional guidance, and developmental assessments to ensure your puppy or kitten grows into a healthy adult. Early wellness care sets the foundation for a lifetime of health.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care programs focus on proactive health management for aging pets. We conduct comprehensive exams, recommend senior-specific diagnostics (like bloodwork and urinalysis), and adjust care plans to address age-related conditions. Early detection of issues like arthritis, organ dysfunction, or dental disease helps maintain your senior pet’s quality of life.

We provide essential Core Vaccinations, including Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo, to protect your pet from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. These vaccinations are critical for puppies, kittens, and adult pets, especially those with outdoor exposure or in multi-pet households. Vaccination schedules are tailored to your pet’s lifestyle and risk factors.

We provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention to safeguard your pet against this deadly parasitic disease. Annual testing is recommended for all dogs, even those on preventive medication, as heartworm can cause severe heart and lung damage. Our prevention plans include monthly medications and education on reducing mosquito exposure, which is the primary vector for heartworm.

Our clinic offers Flea & Tick Prevention solutions to protect your pet from parasites that can cause discomfort, allergies, and serious diseases like Lyme disease.

We provide Parasite Deworming (Intestinal) treatments to eliminate harmful parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms.

We offer Urinalysis as part of our diagnostic services to evaluate your pet’s kidney function, urinary tract health, and detect conditions like infections, crystals, or diabetes. Urinalysis provides valuable insights into hydration status, protein levels, and the presence of abnormal cells or substances. This test is often included in wellness panels and recommended for pets showing signs of urinary issues.

Our Fecal Testing service identifies intestinal parasites, such as worms, that can affect your pet’s health and may be transmissible to humans. We recommend fecal testing for puppies, kittens, pets with diarrhea, and those on parasite prevention. Early detection allows us to prescribe effective deworming treatments and prevent reinfection.

We utilize Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose internal issues, such as fractures, foreign objects, heart or lung conditions, and abdominal abnormalities. Digital radiography provides high-quality images quickly, allowing our veterinarians to assess injuries, monitor chronic conditions, and plan appropriate treatments. X-rays are often used in conjunction with other diagnostics for comprehensive evaluations.

We provide Dental X-Rays to assess the health of your pet’s teeth roots, jawbone, and underlying structures. Dental X-rays help detect hidden issues like tooth root infections, fractures, or oral tumors that aren’t visible during a visual exam. This advanced imaging is crucial for comprehensive dental care and treatment planning.

We provide Periodontal Disease Treatment to address gum infections, bone loss, and advanced dental disease. Treatments may include deep cleaning, scaling, root planing, and antibiotics to restore oral health. Early intervention is key to preventing tooth loss and systemic health issues linked to periodontal disease.

We offer Spay & Neuter Surgery to prevent unwanted litters and reduce the risk of certain cancers, infections, and behavioral issues in pets. Spaying (for females) and neutering (for males) are routine, safe procedures performed with your pet’s comfort and recovery in mind. Early spay/neuter is recommended for puppies and kittens, but we tailor timing to individual health needs.

Our clinic performs Foreign Body Removal to safely extract objects ingested or lodged in your pet’s body, such as bones, toys, or plants. We use imaging like X-rays or ultrasounds to locate the foreign body and perform surgery or endoscopic procedures to remove it. Early intervention is critical to prevent complications like intestinal blockages or perforations.

We provide Wound & Laceration Repair for pets with cuts, bites, or traumatic injuries. Our team cleans and disinfects wounds, administers pain management, and closes injuries with sutures or other advanced techniques. Post-operative care instructions are provided to support healing and prevent infections.

We provide Emergency Stabilization services during office hours to address acute issues like trauma, poisoning, or severe illness. Our goal is to quickly assess and stabilize your pet’s condition before referring to an emergency clinic if needed. We offer same-day appointments for urgent cases and work closely with local emergency hospitals for after-hours care.

Our clinic offers Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for pets requiring intensive care, such as those recovering from surgery, managing chronic illnesses, or needing IV fluids. We provide a comfortable, supervised environment with frequent assessments to ensure your pet receives the best possible care during their stay.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy to pets needing hydration support, such as those with dehydration, kidney disease, or post-surgical recovery. IV fluids help restore electrolyte balance, improve circulation, and support organ function. Our team monitors fluid therapy closely to tailor treatment to your pet’s specific needs.

Our Pain Management services include medications, injections, and post-operative care to keep your pet comfortable during and after procedures or chronic conditions. We assess pain levels individually and use a combination of pharmaceuticals and supportive therapies to improve your pet’s quality of life. Pain management is a key part of our surgical and medical care.

We provide Poison & Toxin Treatment for pets exposed to harmful substances like human medications, chocolate, lilies, antifreeze, or rodenticides. Immediate intervention may include inducing vomiting, administering activated charcoal, or IV fluids to flush toxins from the body. We also provide guidance on preventing future exposures and may refer to emergency clinics for severe cases.

Our Medical Grooming services include Sanitary Shave, Nail Trimming & Dremeling, Anal Gland Expression, and Ear Cleaning & Plucking for pets with medical or mobility needs. These services help manage skin conditions, prevent infections, and improve comfort for pets with limited mobility or chronic issues. We tailor grooming to your pet’s health requirements.

We provide Anal Gland Expression to relieve discomfort and prevent infections caused by impacted anal glands. This service is especially important for pets with scooting behavior, excessive licking, or signs of pain around the rear. We perform expressions safely and may recommend dietary or environmental changes to support anal gland health.

Our Standard Pet Boarding service provides a safe, comfortable, and home-like environment for your pets while you’re away. Boarders enjoy clean, spacious accommodations, daily outdoor leash walks, fresh bedding, and individualized care. We also offer amenities like favorite treats and toys to make your pet’s stay enjoyable and stress-free.

Our clinic issues Domestic Travel Certificates for pets moving between states or requiring health documentation for boarding, grooming, or daycare. These certificates verify vaccinations and health records, ensuring compliance with local regulations. We recommend planning ahead, especially for travel to states with specific requirements like Hawaii or Australia.
