Wellness Exams
Our preventive care program includes annual examinations tailored to each pet's specific needs. Our veterinarians assess overall health status, administer necessary vaccines, and identify potential health issues early. We provide personalized wellness recommendations based on age, breed, and lifestyle factors while emphasizing client education to help pet owners make informed healthcare decisions.
Spay/Neuter Surgeries
We offer comprehensive soft tissue surgical procedures including spays and neuters with full anesthetic monitoring. Our surgical team performs these common procedures in controlled environments with post-operative care instructions. The practice also handles complex cases like tumor removals and abdominal surgeries using modern monitoring equipment to ensure patient safety throughout the procedure.
Digital X-Rays
Our on-site digital radiography system provides high-resolution diagnostic imaging for identifying internal health issues. This technology enables rapid diagnosis of skeletal injuries, organ abnormalities, and respiratory conditions. The system allows immediate image review and adjustment while maintaining detailed digital records for tracking long-term health patterns and treatment effectiveness.
Pet Boarding
We provide supervised boarding services with individualized care for dogs and cats. Our kennel staff conducts regular health checks, administers owner-provided medications, and ensures appropriate exercise. Boarders receive a complimentary wellness exam upon admission while maintaining 24/7 monitoring for any changes in health status requiring veterinary intervention.
Microchipping
We implement Home Again microchip technology for permanent pet identification. This service is available during regular appointments or surgical procedures.

Really great, accommodating staff. We recently moved to Ohio, and they were able to see my aggressive kitty for a visit. They talked me thru the sedation process for her and were very communicative and affordable. Would highly recommend!

Where do I begin? I have the utmost respect for Dr Glenn and his staff! We have been longtime clients of his and wouldn't think of going anywhere else! Dr. Glenn and Denise are what I would describe as the A-team. Their loving care has kept our pups going well past their years. The front desk staff is just as wonderful! Every single time my husband or I call into the office we feel their care and concern for our pets. They are easy to talk to and obviously great at dealing with their clientele. We've also used their boarding and grooming services as well and have ZERO complaints. Prices are beyond
