Services

Surgical Procedures

Our surgical services include spay/neuter operations, soft tissue procedures, mass removals, and emergency interventions. We perform hernia repairs, organ surgeries, and ophthalmic procedures using modern techniques. All operations follow strict safety protocols with pre-anesthetic evaluations to ensure optimal patient outcomes during complex procedures.

Dental Care

We offer comprehensive dental services including oral exams, teeth cleaning, extractions, and periodontal treatments. Our team addresses gum disease, tooth decay, and oral masses through both routine maintenance and specialized interventions. Regular dental checkups help prevent systemic health issues related to oral bacteria in pets.

Diagnostic Testing

Advanced diagnostic capabilities include bloodwork analysis, urinalysis, fecal testing, and digital radiography. These tools help identify organ function issues, infections, and structural abnormalities. Cytology and histopathology services support accurate diagnoses for skin conditions, internal diseases, and cancer screenings.

Vaccinations

Customized vaccine schedules protect pets against preventable diseases like rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukemia. We recommend core vaccines for all animals and additional non-core immunizations based on lifestyle factors. Our protocols follow industry guidelines while considering individual exposure risks.

Wellness Exams

Annual comprehensive physical exams detect early signs of health issues through hands-on evaluations. These preventive visits include nutritional assessments, parasite screenings, and age-specific health monitoring. Early disease detection extends pet lifespans and improves treatment success rates.

Love the service I've had for my two dogs until today. $50 total for nail trimming is outrageous. Literally, took four minutes. Would not recommend for this rip off!

Need to have my dog put down, they were unable to help because I was not an existing customer and they were not accepting new pets. . . . My love was suffering and I couldn't see him suffer. Will never take any of my animals there!

The staff was very caring and friendly and the prices were reasonable! It was also great that I was able to bring in a cat that had taken up residence at my house for care for an appointment as a new patient quickly! Would highly recommend!

Twin Lakes Vet Hospital got us in quickly and called promptly with test results. The Dr was thorough and answered my questions and I also thought the prices were reasonable. The only reason I didn't give a full 5 stars is because we weren't allowed inside since only one person can accompany the animal and I had my toddler with me. They explained this to me prior to arriving though and I understand that it is COVID protocol, just wish we could have gone in with our pup.
