Services
Dentistry
Our dental services include professional cleanings, digital x-rays, and extractions to address periodontal disease and maintain oral health. We educate pet owners on at-home care techniques while using advanced equipment to detect and treat dental issues below the gumline. Regular dental maintenance prevents systemic infections and improves overall pet wellness.
Pet Vaccination
We provide core vaccinations (rabies, distemper, parvovirus) and lifestyle-based non-core vaccines to protect against infectious diseases. Our team creates customized vaccination schedules for puppies/kittens, adults, and senior pets while explaining vaccine benefits and monitoring for adverse reactions to ensure safety.
Surgery
Our surgical services cover spaying/neutering, soft tissue procedures, and emergency interventions. Pre-surgical bloodwork ensures patient safety while advanced monitoring equipment maintains stability during anesthesia. Post-operative care includes pain management plans and follow-up examinations to support proper healing.
Senior Pet Care
We offer bi-annual wellness exams for senior pets, including bloodwork, urinalysis, and mobility assessments. Our team develops arthritis management plans, recommends joint supplements, and provides dietary guidance to address age-related changes while maintaining quality of life for aging animals.
Microchipping
Permanent microchip implantation services ensure pet recovery if lost. We register chips in national databases and update contact information as needed. The minimally invasive procedure provides lifelong identification security compared to traditional collars that can become damaged or removed.

I'm so thankful for them, they are the only ones that would take my cat in without being a patient. My Ellie was sick for a week and it took me 2 days to finally get her seen. ( i tried everywhere) They ended up doing blood work and a ultrasound and unfortunately it ended with her having cancer in her blabber and kidneys. 😢 They told me my options and I chose to have to put her to sleep. They gave me meds for her to comfort her for 2days, we wanted one more whole day with her before we let her go. Tomorrow is the day but I know I'm doing the right thing because she's in pain and not herself
