                                          Adult Pet Preventative Care

Our veterinarians believe very strongly in preventative medicine. Comprehensive physical exams are the most important. Pets can not communicate when they are not feeling well. Veterinarians are trained to detect abnormalities such as heart murmurs, ear and eye conditions, skin diseases, organ enlargements, and other signs of diseases that most owners are not able to detect.  Early detection and treatment are the key to helping your pet live a long, healthy life
Our wellness programs are designed specifically for your pet and include:

• a comprehensive physical exam
• intestinal parasite testing
• heartworm and flea control
• vaccines
• spay and neuter packages
• specialized blood tests for all life stages.

Senior Pet Preventative Care

Veterinarians are trained to detect abnormalities such as heart murmurs, ear and eye conditions, joint problems, organ enlargements, and other signs of diseases that most owners are not able to detect.  Many diseases and health problems are more common in the older senior pets. Early detection and treatment are the key to helping your pet live a long, healthy life
Our senior wellness programs are designed specifically for your pet and include: a comprehensive physical exam; senior blood work; intestinal parasite testing; heartworm and flea control; and vaccines

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a surgery-free, drug-free, noninvasive treatment to help with the relief of pain, inflammation and swelling associated with soft tissue injuries, trauma, surgery and chronic everyday disorders. 
Class IV lasers use a beam of laser light to penetrate deep into the tissues. The laser energy induces a biological response within the cells which leads to reduced pain, reduced inflammation, and increased healing speed. 
Laser therapy is used to treat many conditions such as:

• Arthritis
• Urinary bladder problems
• Post-surgical healing and pain relief
• Ear infections
• Hot spots
• Wounds
• Hip dysplasia
• Allergies
• Sprains/strains
• Periodontal disease
• And much more...

​Dentistry

Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet's teeth. We use modern and safe ultrasonic equipment to clean each tooth thoroughly - above and below the gum line. Dental technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup. We do pre-anesthetic blood work and offer surgical monitoring for all procedures.

We also offer a wide variety of dental products that can be used easily at home to lengthen time between cleanings.

Surgery
​
We offer the most advanced surgical techniques and technology. All patients are carefully screened through a pre-anesthetic examination by our veterinarians. We have a technician dedicated to monitoring your pet very closely during surgery and the recovery period.  We also offer ECG monitoring, blood pressure testing and pre-anesthetic bloodwork, among other important services for your pet's health and well being under anesthesia.

​Boarding

We know how difficult it can be to leave your pet while you are away. To make this easier, our boarding services treat your pet like it was our very own, but if the need arises, excellent veterinary care can be provided as well. 

Our canine facilities feature spacious runs and large and small suites. We provide two walks a day and a complimentary bath after 5 nights of staying with us*. Other optional services include playtimes, daily brushing and deluxe baths. 

Our kitty suites are in a different area of the clinic so that our feline friends can have the peace they deserve while vacationing here with us. 

All pets are required to be current on all vaccinations, as well as have a negative fecal examination within the last 6 months. We also require flea preventative for all animals who stay with us.
We also offer a deluxe boarding suite for those canines who are used to a little extra pampering. These suites are spacious runs with a raised bed, raised water and food dishes and include an extra walk each day. Its the ultimate bed and breakfast for your pet.

*Complimentary baths are given the morning of scheduled departure (Friday's for any scheduled to go home Saturday). Please plan on picking up your dog after 4:00 PM on the departure date if you are wanting a complimentary bath to be given. We do not offer rain checks on complimentary baths, they must be given during their boarding stay to be free of charge.
