Services
Boarding
Our separate dog and cat boarding facilities provide a peaceful, health-monitored environment. Pets receive Hill's Science Diet food, regular exercise, and special dietary accommodations. All boarders must be vaccinated and flea-free, with advance reservations recommended during peak seasons.
Dental Care
We address periodontal disease, tooth extractions, and oral hygiene education. Regular cleanings prevent systemic issues affecting heart, liver, and kidney health. Post-procedure guidance includes at-home brushing and diet recommendations to maintain dental wellness.
Laser Surgery
Laser techniques reduce scarring and accelerate healing during mass removals or soft tissue procedures. Pre-surgical bloodwork ensures safety, while continuous monitoring maintains patient stability throughout anesthesia and recovery processes.
Radiography
Digital radiography enables precise internal diagnostics for bone fractures, organ abnormalities, or foreign objects. Sedation may be required for optimal positioning, ensuring accurate imaging to guide treatment decisions.
Heartworm Testing
Annual blood tests detect heartworm presence, with prevention plans established for negative results. Year-round medication is recommended in southern climates to protect against mosquito-borne transmission.

Ive been taking my pets here for over 10 years. They used to be so nice and professional. The doctors are great but the other staff has gotten so rude over the last 2-3 months. I know that they are very busy but they shouldnt mistreat the people that have been coming to them for years. I will not be using them anymore, they have gotten so mean and rude that I dont feel that my pets are safe boarding or receiving care there.

This is my favorite vet I've had Dr.Gil who was great and a woman vet I can't remember her name but they were both very nice. Their prices are the best I wished I knew about them sooner. It's so sad that I'm moving outta state.
