We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams to assess your pet’s overall health, detect early signs of illness, and establish a baseline for their wellness care.

We recommend scheduling these exams at least once a year for optimal preventive care.

We offer tailored Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to support the healthy growth and development of your new companion.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care programs focus on proactive health management for pets aged 7 and older.

We work with you to create a plan that supports your senior pet’s quality of life.

We provide essential Core Vaccinations, including protection against Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo, to safeguard your pet from serious and potentially fatal diseases. These vaccinations are a cornerstone of preventive care and are recommended for all pets based on lifestyle and risk factors. Vaccination schedules are personalized during wellness exams.

We perform Parasite Deworming to eliminate intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms, which can cause digestive issues and other health problems. Deworming is often included in our Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages and is recommended for all pets, especially those with outdoor access or symptoms like diarrhea or weight loss.

Our Behavioral Counseling services are led by Dr. Jennifer Feeney, a certified Applied Animal Behavior specialist.

Our in-house lab allows for quick results, so we can adjust treatment plans promptly during your visit.

We utilize Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose issues like fractures, dental disease, heart conditions, and abdominal abnormalities. X-rays are often performed during dental cleanings or as part of diagnostic workups for symptoms like limping, coughing, or unexplained weight loss. Our digital technology provides high-quality images for precise evaluations.

Our clinic collaborates with Dr. Johanna Frank, a board-certified internal medicine specialist, to provide Ultrasound Imaging services.

We use this advanced imaging to guide accurate diagnoses and treatment plans.

Our clinic performs Spay & Neuter Surgery to prevent unwanted litters and reduce the risk of certain cancers and reproductive diseases. These procedures are typically performed on puppies and kittens as part of our Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages and are a routine part of preventive care.

While we triage emergencies during business hours, we also provide Emergency Stabilization for critical cases like difficulty breathing, trauma, or toxin ingestion.

Our licensed practitioners use sterile needles to stimulate specific points on your pet’s body, promoting natural healing and improving mobility. Acupuncture is often used alongside traditional treatments for enhanced results.

These adjustments are performed by trained professionals and can improve mobility and reduce inflammation, often used in conjunction with physical therapy or acupuncture for comprehensive rehabilitation.
