Our team prioritizes preventive care to ensure a long, happy life for your furry family member.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages that include complete physical exams, age-appropriate vaccinations, parasite prevention (deworming and flea/tick control), and nutritional counseling. These packages are designed to set your new pet up for a lifetime of health while addressing your questions about training, socialization, and early health concerns.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on proactive aging management through regular wellness exams, senior-specific bloodwork, and personalized health assessments. We address age-related changes, such as joint health, kidney function, and dental care, and adjust treatment plans as needed. With advanced veterinary medicine, we help older pets live comfortably and joyfully in their golden years.

We administer Core Vaccinations like Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo to protect your pet from serious and life-threatening diseases. Our team follows evidence-based vaccination guidelines to tailor schedules based on your pet’s lifestyle, risk factors, and local disease prevalence, ensuring optimal immunity while minimizing unnecessary vaccines.

Our goal is to support your pet’s longest, healthiest life through proper nutrition.

We recommend Parasite Deworming for all pets as part of routine preventative care.

Deworming is also offered during wellness visits for puppies/kitten packages and senior care to keep your pet parasite-free and your family safe.

Our clinic is equipped to perform In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to assess your pet’s organ function, blood cell counts, and overall health. Quick results (often within minutes) allow us to diagnose issues early, monitor chronic conditions (like diabetes or kidney disease), and tailor treatment plans effectively for a quicker recovery.

We offer Urinalysis as part of our diagnostic services to evaluate kidney function, detect urinary tract infections, diabetes, or crystals, which contribute to bladder stones. Routine urine testing is particularly valuable for senior pets and those with existing medical conditions. Urinalysis helps us catch issues early and adjust care plans before they become serious.

We perform Fecal Testing to screen for intestinal parasites like hookworms, roundworms, and giardia. This simple test involves a fresh stool sample and provides essential insights into your pet’s digestive health. Regular fecal testing is vital for routine prevention, especially for puppies, kittens, and pets with compromised immune systems.

Our practice features Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose a wide range of conditions, from bone fractures and joint issues to internal organ disorders like tumors or gastrointestinal obstructions. With our advanced equipment, we capture high-quality images on-site, enabling prompt treatment planning. X-rays are non-invasive and use minimal radiation, making them safe for all pets, including senior and young animals.

As part of our dental care, we offer Dental X-Rays to assess the full extent of oral health issues below the gumline, such as hidden fractures, abscesses, or tooth roots. These scans allow us to detect early-stage problems like tooth decay or periodontal disease, enabling effective treatment planning. Dental X-Rays are vital for thorough diagnostics during cleanings or oral surgeries.

We perform Tooth Extractions to treat severe dental disease, fractured teeth, or painful oral infections that cannot be conserved. Extractions are conducted safely under anesthesia with pain management protocols to ensure your pet’s comfort during and after the procedure. Our team prioritizes minimally invasive techniques and provides post-operative care instructions for smooth recovery.

Our vets provide Spay & Neuter Surgery to improve your pet’s long-term health by preventing unwanted pregnancies, reducing cancer risks (like mammary tumors in females), and minimizing behavioral issues tied to heat cycles. We offer low-cost options and prioritize pain management and a compassionate surgical experience to keep your pet comfortable during recovery.

If your pet ingests or otherwise injures themselves with a foreign object, we can perform Foreign Body Removal through minimally invasive techniques or surgery. Early detection via X-rays or ultrasound allows quicker intervention, and we provide post-operative care and monitoring to ensure a smooth recovery and prevent complications.

Our team provides prompt Wound & Laceration Repair to clean, disinfect, and properly close cuts or punctures to avoid infection and promote healing. We use advanced suturing techniques and monitor recovery closely, offering guidance on at-home wound care. Prompt treatment helps prevent systemic infections and ensures your pet’s comfort during healing.

During regular business hours, we prioritize care for acute illnesses and injuries through Emergency Stabilization. While we do not provide 24/7 emergency medicine, we quickly assess and treat urgent conditions (like trauma, poisoning, or severe allergies) and coordinate care with 24-hour referral facilities if necessary. Your pet’s comfort and rapid intervention are our top priorities.

We offer in-house Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for pets requiring intensive observation following surgeries, chronic illness management, or critical conditions. Our veterinary staff monitor vitals, administer medications, and adjust care plans as needed. Patients stay in comfortable, secure spaces to ensure safety and recovery while under continuous attentive care.

Comprehensive Pain Management is a cornerstone of our care, addressing discomfort from routine procedures (like spays), surgeries, or chronic conditions (like arthritis) with safe and effective medications and therapies. We customize treatment plans and educate pet owners on recognizing pain signals in pets. Our goal is to prioritize your pet’s comfort and well-being throughout their healing process.

If your pet ingests toxic substances (like human medications, plants, or xylitol), we provide prompt Poison & Toxin Treatment, including induction of vomiting (when safe), medication administration, and IV fluids. We also offer pet-proofing advice and guidance on recognizing toxic exposure to keep your pet safe. Serious cases are referred to emergency veterinary hospitals.

We deliver specialized Medical Grooming for pets requiring assistance with hygiene-related care, including post-surgery wound management, limb trimming (e.g., arthritis-affected joints), and grooming support for long-haired pets with restricted mobility. Our gentle approach is tailored to meet medical needs while ensuring your pet’s safety and dignity.

For pets needing hygiene support—such as those with matted fur, mobility issues, or anal gland problems—we provide Sanitary Shave services during check-ups or medical grooming visits. This process keeps your pet clean and comfortable while minimizing stress and potential infections. We tailor shaving techniques based on your pet’s specific medical needs.

Our team performs Nail Trimming & Dremeling to maintain your pet’s paw health and prevent overgrowth, which can lead to discomfort or joint issues. We use precise tools to avoid cutting into the quick and offer this service during regular visits or alongside Medical Grooming. For anxious pets, we discuss gentle techniques to ensure a stress-free experience.

We perform Anal Gland Expression to relieve discomfort and abscesses caused by impacted anal glands. This procedure is vital for pets showing scooting, excessive licking, or swollen anal glands. We can provide this service during wellness exams or as needed to ensure your pet’s hygiene and comfort. Follow-up guidance is offered to prevent recurrence.

We provide comprehensive Standard Pet Boarding in clean, climate-controlled quarters designed for maximum comfort. Dogs and cats are housed separately and receive individualized attention, including supervised outdoor exercise for dogs and private condos with windows for cats. Our experienced staff monitors health needs, and older animals or those requiring medication are given special care.

Need a Domestic Travel Certificate for your pet? We issue these for pets traveling between states or on cruises, meeting the requirements for airlines and hotels. Certificates are issued after a health check and proof of vaccinations (like rabies) to ensure safe and legal travel. Please schedule visits ahead of your travel dates to avoid delays.
