As part of our Professional Dental Cleaning, we perform Dental X-Rays to assess hidden dental issues, such as root infections or fractures beneath the gum line. This advanced imaging ensures we provide thorough and effective dental care for your pet.

We perform Tooth Extractions when necessary during dental cleanings or oral surgery procedures. Our team uses advanced techniques to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety while addressing severe dental issues like fractured teeth or advanced periodontal disease.

We educate pet owners on At-Home Dental Care, including daily teeth brushing techniques and the use of C.E.T. Chews to reduce plaque buildup. These preventive measures complement our professional cleanings and help maintain your pet’s oral health between visits.

Our Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages include optional Spay & Neuter Surgery for puppies and kittens. We also offer these services for adult pets as part of our preventive healthcare programs to promote longevity and reduce the risk of certain cancers and infections.

During emergencies, we provide Emergency Stabilization, including Oxygen Therapy, IV Fluid Therapy, and CPR, to address life-threatening conditions such as trauma, poisoning, or allergic reactions. Our goal is to stabilize your pet quickly and prepare them for further treatment.

As part of our Emergency Stabilization protocols, we provide Oxygen Therapy to pets suffering from conditions like heatstroke, drowning, or respiratory distress. This critical care helps restore oxygen levels and supports recovery during emergencies.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy during emergencies and for pets requiring hydration support, such as those with poisoning, dehydration, or post-surgical recovery. This therapy helps stabilize vital signs and aids in the body’s natural healing processes.

We offer Pain Management solutions for pets experiencing discomfort, particularly senior pets with osteoarthritis or those recovering from surgery. Our approach includes medicinal and herbal anti-inflammatory treatments to improve your pet’s quality of life.

In cases of Poison & Toxin Treatment, we provide immediate care to counteract ingested toxins, including inducing vomiting (when safe), administering activated charcoal, and supportive therapies like IV Fluid Therapy to flush toxins from the system.
