Veterinary Exams
Our comprehensive physical examinations assess all major body systems including cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and neurological health. These routine evaluations help detect early signs of disease through detailed assessments of weight, mobility, coat condition, and vital organ function. Annual exams for young pets and biannual checkups for seniors ensure timely medical intervention while maintaining preventive care schedules.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings include pre-anesthetic blood work, full mouth radiographs, and scaling with ultrasonic equipment. We specialize in periodontal disease management through tooth extractions, root planning, and antimicrobial treatments. Preventive education focuses on home care techniques and dietary modifications to maintain optimal oral health for pets at all life stages.
Orthopedic Surgery
Our board-certified surgeons perform tibial plateau leveling osteotomies (TPLO) for cruciate ligament injuries and femoral head ostectomies for hip dysplasia. State-of-the-art equipment supports fracture repairs using plates, pins, and external fixators. Post-operative care includes pain management protocols and rehabilitation therapy for optimal functional recovery in canine and feline patients.
Diagnostic Imaging
Digital radiography and ultrasound technologies enable non-invasive internal organ evaluation. Advanced ultrasound applications assess cardiac function and detect abdominal abnormalities while digital X-rays identify skeletal injuries and pulmonary conditions. In-house imaging allows immediate diagnostic interpretation and rapid treatment planning for both routine and emergency cases.
Senior Pet Care
Specialized wellness programs for mature pets include senior blood panels, joint mobility assessments, and cognitive function evaluations. We implement multimodal arthritis management through prescription medications, weight control plans, and physical therapy. Regular diagnostics help detect age-related conditions like kidney disease and hyperthyroidism at treatable stages.

Our rescue dog Tuffy was hit by a car on day 4 of when we received him. He shattered his femur, broke his pelvic bone and had an eye distended. I scooped him up and rode Into town and brought him I to the clinic asking for help. Dr Beveridge and staff stabilized him and several days later removed the top of his femur and created a joint out of muscle and connective tissue, and removed his eye. He went there for physical therapy first 3 times a week for 2 to 3 times a day for about 10 weeks.. ending up once a week. Everyone cuddled him and they said he was a tough guy. Thus his name converted to
