We offer tailored Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to help your new furry family member start on the right foot. Including vaccinations, microchipping, spay/neuter discussions, nutritional guidance, and personalized medical exams to build a foundation for a long, healthy life.

With our Senior Pet Wellness Care, we help older pets maintain their quality of life by providing specialized exams, age-adjusted diagnostics, and tailored care plans. We monitor for early signs of age-related conditions and address any concerns to ensure they enjoy their golden years to the fullest.

We administer essential Core Vaccinations for dogs and cats, including rabies, distemper, and parvovirus, to protect them from serious and often fatal diseases. These vaccines are customized for life stage and risk level to provide optimal immunity while avoiding unnecessary booster overuse.

We offer Heartworm Testing & Prevention through annual blood tests and year-round heartworm preventive medications. Early detection and diligent prevention are critical in areas like Monroe NC, where mosquitoes (and therefore heartworm transmission) remain a year-round threat.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention services include prescription-strength treatments and year-round parasite control strategies to protect your pets from fleas, ticks, their associated diseases like Lyme and Ehrlichia, and the discomfort they cause. We tailor programs according to your pet’s risk factors and local parasite prevalence.

We provide dietary plans that align with your pet’s unique needs, activity levels, and health goals.

We provide Parasite Deworming to safely eliminate intestinal worms, like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms, which can cause discomfort, weight loss, and other health issues. We recommend regular deworming protocols based on your pet’s age, exposure risk, and medical history.

Through our Behavioral Counseling program, we assess and address common issues such as aggression, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, and litter-box avoidance. We work with pet owners to implement positive training techniques, medication if necessary, and environment modifications to create calmer, healthier household companions.

We perform In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels for quick, accurate assessments of your pet’s organ function, blood health, and overall wellness. In-house diagnostics enable us to catch issues early while pets wait, speeding up treatment plans and recovery.

Our Urinalysis service screens for urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney disease, diabetes, and other underlying conditions through dipstick and microscopic evaluations. This non-invasive test is a key diagnostic tool to address urinary issues and assess organ health promptly.

With Fecal Testing, we examine your pet’s stool to identify common and harmful parasites such as Giardia, parasites, and tapeworms before they cause gastrointestinal upset or other health issues. We provide rapid in-clinic test kits or submit samples to specialized labs for precise results.

Our Digital X-Rays (Radiography) offer immediate high-resolution images to diagnose fractures, evaluate organ size, detect foreign objects, assess dental health, and much more. Rapid digital radiography helps us provide quicker care decisions while improving the accuracy of your pet’s treatment plan.

We use Ultrasound Imaging to closely examine your pet’s internal organs without invasive procedures. This diagnostic tool is invaluable for identifying organ abnormalities, heart conditions, tumors, reproductive concerns, and more. Ultrasound studies are often paired with X-rays to provide a complete picture of your pet’s health.

Prior to surgery and during heart-related issues, we perform EKG / ECG Testing to monitor your pet’s heart rhythm, size (e.g., cardiomegaly), and function. Our non-invasive EKG helps us evaluate heart health and ensure safe anesthesia administration while also diagnosing heart diseases like arrhythmias or murmurs.

To identify hidden dental concerns, we use Dental X-Rays to detect root issues, abscesses, fractures, retained puppy teeth, and other subclinical conditions. These radiographs are crucial for formulating accurate treatment plans and recommending the most effective dental care or extractions needed.

We perform Oral Surgery, which may include tooth extractions (e.g., fractured or diseased teeth), cyst removal, or more complex dental procedures. These are typically performed under general anesthesia and with post-op care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Our in-house Spay & Neuter Surgery is performed using modern surgical techniques and best practices for safe recuperation. We address early spay/neutering benefits, including prevention of reproductive cancers, roaming behavior, and behavioral improvements.

If your pet has swallowed or ingested a foreign body, we can perform Foreign Body Removal surgery, endoscopy, or other appropriate methods to safely retrieve items like rawhides, toys, or debris before they cause intestinal blockages or perforation.

Our clinic handles Wound & Laceration Repair for common injuries, using advanced suturing techniques to minimize scarring and promote faster healing. Wounds are cleaned, evaluated for any underlying conditions, and repaired to prevent infection or complications.

We provide Medical Grooming services to accommodate pets with medical or sensitive skin conditions, ensuring safe and comfortable grooming while addressing their unique needs, like anal gland expression, sanitized baths, and post-operative care preparation.
