Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on tailored health assessments for pets aged 7 and above. We monitor for age-related conditions, adjust vaccination schedules, and recommend preventative tests like bloodwork and imaging to extend your senior pet’s quality of life while addressing their evolving needs.

We administer essential Core Vaccinations, including protection against Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo, to safeguard your pet from highly contagious and potentially fatal diseases. These vaccinations are the foundation of our preventive care program and are recommended for all dogs and cats.

We offer annual Heartworm Testing & Prevention to detect and treat heartworm disease early, a potentially deadly parasitic infection. Even indoor pets can be at risk, so our team ensures a year-round prevention plan tailored to your pet’s environment and health history.

We conduct Urinalysis to evaluate kidney function, detect urinary tract infections, or identify metabolic diseases like diabetes. This diagnostic tool is crucial for diagnosing discomfort (e.g., frequent urination, straining) and guiding treatment for urinary health issues.

Our Fecal Testing identifies intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, giardia) and helps monitor deworming efficacy. We use advanced techniques to provide accurate results and recommend targeted treatment to ensure your pet’s gastrointestinal health.

Our Ultrasound Imaging service provides non-invasive visualization of abdominal organs (e.g., liver, kidneys, spleen) and reproductive structures. This technology helps us diagnose conditions like tumors, organ abnormalities, or pregnancy and guides specialized care with minimal discomfort to your pet.

During dental cleanings, we take Dental X-Rays to detect hidden issues like root infections, fractures, or tooth decay beneath the gumline. Early detection allows us to perform targeted treatments (e.g., extractions, root canals) to preserve dental health and prevent systemic infections.

We conduct Tooth Extractions for diseased, broken, or abscessed teeth under anesthesia with Dental X-Rays to assess root structure. This procedure is essential for preventing infections and pain, with post-operative care instructions provided for a smooth healing process.

Our Pain Management services include medications, laser therapy, acupuncture referrals, and post-surgical care plans to improve your pet’s comfort. We assess pain levels individually and adjust treatments to ensure minimal distress during procedures or chronic conditions.

For pets with chronic skin conditions, allergies, or mobility issues, we provide Medical Grooming services like Sanitary Shaves, Anal Gland Expression, and Ear Cleaning to maintain hygiene and prevent infections. Our care is tailored to sensitive areas and performed with utmost gentleness.

While we collaborate with licensed veterinary acupuncturists for Acupuncture services, our team educates pet owners on this ancient practice for pain relief and holistic wellness. Conditions treated include arthritis, anxiety, and gastrointestinal issues, with sessions often paired with laser therapy or physical rehabilitation.
