Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams monitor pets' health across all life stages. Annual or bi-annual visits include physical assessments, vaccination updates, and preventive care planning. Early detection of potential issues ensures timely intervention, helping pets maintain optimal health through tailored nutrition, exercise, and home care guidance.
Vaccinations
We provide core and lifestyle-based vaccinations for dogs and cats. Non-adjuvanted feline vaccines reduce tumor risks while protecting against rabies, distemper, and leukemia. Canine vaccines cover rabies, parvo, and influenza strains. Personalized schedules consider age, breed, and exposure risks to maintain disease immunity.
Dental Care
Full dental services include cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Digital X-rays assess tooth and jaw health before procedures. We educate owners on home brushing techniques and recommend annual professional cleanings to prevent systemic infections from untreated dental disease.
Surgery
Elective and emergency surgical services cover spays/neuters, foreign body removals, and trauma repairs. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures safety for senior pets. Procedures include tumor removals, cystotomies, and dental surgeries with post-op monitoring and detailed recovery instructions for pet owners.
Emergency Care
24/7 emergency services address critical conditions like trauma, poisoning, or breathing difficulties. Our team stabilizes patients with IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and pain management. After-hours emergencies receive immediate attention while maintaining isolation protocols to protect other patients during visits.
