Our Services

Annual Physical Exam

Our annual physical exam is a comprehensive check-up to ensure your pet’s overall health and prevent possible diseases from progressing too far. During this time, we will review potential exposure to diseases, discuss appropriate vaccines, and perform heartworm and fecal testing for parasites.

Routine Vaccinations

Our routine vaccination service is designed to keep your pet’s immune system prepared to deal with and stop infections when exposure occurs. We will review your pet’s potential exposure to diseases and recommend appropriate vaccines to protect their health and well-being. With our vaccination service, you can rest assured that your pet is protected against common illnesses and diseases.

X-Rays

Our state-of-the-art digital X-ray service helps us to make informed and efficient treatment decisions for your pet. With lightning-fast processing speed, your pet will have minimal time being restrained, reducing stress. We offer full-body digital X-rays as well as digital dental X-rays, a major advancement in pet dental health care that helps us determine the health of your pet’s teeth below the gum line.

Bloodwork

By analyzing your pet’s blood, we can detect early signs of illness, monitor chronic conditions, and provide a baseline for future comparisons. Our experienced veterinarians will perform a comprehensive blood panel to evaluate your pet’s organ function, blood cell counts, and more.

Surgery

Our veterinarians perform a variety of surgical procedures, both routine and emergency. From spaying and neutering to more complicated procedures such as ACL repair, our staff is fully prepared to give your pet the best surgical and post-surgical care possible. We understand that surgery can be a stressful experience for both you and your pet, which is why we take the time to explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have. Our goal is to ensure that you feel comfortable and confident in your pet’s care. If you have any questions or concerns about a specific surgery or the types of surgeries we perform, please don’t hesitate to come in or give us a call.

Dental Care

Dental health is a crucial part of your pet’s overall well-being. In fact, by age three, 70-80% of pets will begin showing symptoms of periodontal disease. We will perform an in-depth physical examination and digital dental radiographs to evaluate your pet’s dental health below the gum line. If necessary, we will perform a thorough ultrasonic cleaning of the crown and underneath the gum line, followed by polishing. In some cases, dental extractions may be necessary to optimize your pet’s health and remove sources of pain. Our vets will only perform extractions when absolutely necessary for your pet’s well-being. After your pet’s dental cleaning, our staff will guide you in the right direction for future at-home dental care.

Ear Cleaning

Over time, wax and debris can build up in your pet’s ears, leading to ear infections and discomfort. That’s why we offer a comprehensive ear cleaning service that removes any excess wax and debris to prevent infections and promote healthy ears. Our vets use gentle techniques to minimize any discomfort or stress for your furry friend. With our ear cleaning service, you can ensure that your pet’s ears are healthy and well-maintained, promoting their overall health and well-being.

Nail Trimming

Overgrown nails can cause discomfort and pain, making it difficult for your pet to walk and run comfortably. Our experienced vets will carefully trim your pet’s nails to a safe and comfortable length, ensuring that they are not too short or too long. We use gentle techniques to minimize any discomfort or stress for your furry friend.

Micro-Chipping

Ensure your pet’s safe return if they ever become lost. We will implant a small microchip under your pet’s skin, which contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by animal shelters and veterinary hospitals. This identification number is linked to your contact information, allowing you to be reunited with your pet quickly and easily.

Emergency Care

We offer an emergency care service during our business hours. Our veterinarians and staff are fully prepared to handle any emergency situation that may arise, providing your pet with the best possible care. Whether your pet has ingested something toxic, experienced trauma, or is exhibiting other concerning symptoms, we are here to help.
