Services
Pet Radiology
Our digital radiology services provide high-quality imaging for diagnosing illnesses and injuries in pets. The technology reduces radiation exposure while enabling faster, more accurate diagnoses. Images can be securely shared with specialists when needed for collaborative care.
Pet Dental Care
We offer comprehensive dental services including cleanings, radiology, and surgical treatments for dental disease. Proper oral care prevents systemic health issues and maintains tooth integrity. Regular exams help detect problems early for better outcomes.
Pet Microchipping
Microchipping provides permanent identification for lost pets. The grain-sized chip is implanted painlessly between shoulder blades. Registering the chip ensures contact information remains accessible to shelters and clinics nationwide.
Senior Pet Care
Our senior care program addresses age-related conditions like arthritis, diabetes, and organ disease. Twice-yearly exams with lab work help manage chronic conditions. Customized treatment plans maintain quality of life for elderly pets.
Orthopedic Pet Surgery
We perform specialized surgeries for fractures, joint issues, and congenital defects. Procedures include bone plating, ligament repairs, and joint replacements. Post-operative care includes restricted activity and potential rehabilitation for full recovery.

I truly HATE these Covid restrictions by having to wait in the car etc., but I am sure they would do things differently if they could. That is my ONLY issue. I love the staff and how accommodating they are. They have always taken amazing care of my animals. THANK YOU!!!

My dog was diagnosed with a couple of very expensive problems before COVID hit. They wanted to see him every month for tests. They stopped allowing regular appointments and now have a six week wait. I was told it is because of client volume when actually it is because of their STUPID COVID protocols. I will never take my dog there again. I also think his diagnosis is just to make money. Pet care definitely not a priority.

Love the homey atmosphere in this clinic. It doesn't feel cold and sterile, but feels like home. Very comfortable and with great staff! Doctors here are very helpful and knowledgeable. If you prefer the old country style businesses then this is the place for you and your animals!
