We offer rapid, in-house bloodwork using Heska analyzers to assess organ function (liver, kidneys), endocrine systems, and immune responses via CBCs and chemistry panels. This enables quick pre-surgical screening or diagnostic evaluations when time-sensitive decisions are critical.

We utilize state-of-the-art SOUND® Digital X-ray technology for instant, high-detail imaging with lower radiation exposure. Our digital radiography allows real-time evaluation and adjustments during procedures while providing enhanced image clarity through contrast manipulation and internet-sharing capabilities for consultations.

We offer endoscopic retrieval of swallowed foreign objects (e.g., toys, bones) to avoid traditional surgery when possible. This minimally invasive approach reduces trauma and speeds recovery while maintaining diagnostic capabilities via biopsy or imaging.

We provide 24-hour monitoring and hospitalization for post-surgical or critically ill patients, with continuous patient tracking via ECG, pulse oximetry, and temperature devices. Our skilled nursing staff ensures comfort and safety during recovery.

We prioritize pain management through pre-emptive protocols (e.g., pre-anesthetic bloodwork, optional pain medications) and tailored post-operative care. Our surgical release forms allow you to customize your pet’s analgesia plan based on their needs.

During anesthesia for procedures like spays/neuters or dental work, we offer medical grooming services, including nail trims, ear cleanings, and sanitary shaves. These optional add-ons reduce stress by consolidating care into a single visit.

We perform anal gland expression as part of routine wellness exams or during medical grooming procedures to prevent discomfort and infections in pets prone to impactions.
