We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for puppies, adult dogs, kittens, adult cats, and senior pets to ensure early detection of health issues and personalized wellness plans. Our exams cover every part of your pet’s body, from nose to tail, and include tailored recommendations for vaccinations, diet, and lifestyle adjustments.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to guide new pet owners through critical early stages. Our packages include full physical exams, customized vaccine schedules, dietary recommendations, socialization/environmental enrichment advice, and follow-up plans to ensure healthy growth into adulthood. We also provide fecal testing and baseline health assessments.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care includes semi-annual exams (every 6 months) for pets aged 7+, non-invasive diagnostic testing (e.g., bloodwork, urinalysis), and personalized Senior Report Cards with recommendations for diet, medications, and quality-of-life adjustments. Early detection and baseline testing help monitor aging pets and address changes promptly.

We administer Core Vaccinations (including Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo) as part of our wellness packages for puppies, kittens, and adult pets. Vaccination schedules are tailored to your pet’s lifestyle, with recommendations provided during exams to ensure optimal protection.

We offer In-House Bloodwork using our Idexx lab station for comprehensive CBC and chemistry panels. This includes pre-surgical screening, monitoring for chronic medications, and baseline testing for senior pets. For advanced diagnostics, we send samples to external labs like Antech or Idexx.

As part of our diagnostic services, we provide Urinalysis to screen for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and other conditions. This is often included in senior wellness panels or recommended during exams if symptoms arise.

We routinely perform Fecal Testing for puppies, kittens, and adult pets during wellness exams to screen for intestinal parasites. This is a key part of our preventive care and is required for all new pets or those due for deworming.

We perform Digital X-Rays in-house to diagnose fractures, dental issues, gastrointestinal obstructions, and other conditions. X-rays are often recommended during exams or as part of pre-surgical evaluations.

We provide Spay & Neuter Surgery as a standard service, with same-day procedures for most patients. Our team ensures safe anesthesia, pain management (including take-home medications), and post-operative care. Pre-surgical lab work and fluid therapy are offered to optimize safety and recovery.

While not explicitly detailed, our surgical and diagnostic services imply readiness for Emergency Stabilization, including immediate care for critical conditions like trauma, poisoning, or acute illness, with access to lab work, IV fluids, and monitoring.

We provide Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for pets requiring post-surgical care, chronic condition management, or emergency stabilization. Our team ensures continuous observation and treatment adjustments as needed.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy during surgeries and for hospitalized patients to maintain hydration, support recovery, and manage conditions like dehydration or kidney disease.

We prioritize Pain Management for all surgical patients, providing pain medication during recovery and offering take-home options for post-operative care. Our goal is to ensure your pet’s comfort and a smooth healing process.

As part of senior and chronic care, we conduct Quality of Life Assessments to evaluate your pet’s comfort, mobility, and happiness. This helps guide decisions about treatment plans, pain management, and end-of-life care.
