Services
Dental Care
Our comprehensive dental services include exams, cleanings, X-rays, and extractions using anesthesia for pet comfort. We follow AVMA guidelines for safe procedures and offer preventive care education. Annual cleanings help prevent periodontal disease that affects 80% of dogs and 70% of cats by age three.
Surgery
We perform soft-tissue, orthopedic, and dental surgeries with advanced pain management protocols. Our surgical team handles routine procedures and complex cases requiring specialized equipment. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures patient safety while post-operative care focuses on rapid recovery with minimal discomfort.
Microchipping
Permanent microchip implantation provides reliable pet identification that cannot be lost like collars. The quick procedure offers lifelong protection with 25-year chip durability. We emphasize maintaining updated contact information for successful reunification of lost pets with owners.
Vaccinations
Core and non-core vaccination programs protect against rabies, distemper, and other transmissible diseases. We recommend age-appropriate vaccines for puppies, kittens, and adult pets. Our protocols follow legal requirements while addressing individual lifestyle risk factors for each animal.
Senior Wellness
Twice-yearly exams for senior pets include bloodwork, dental checks, and cognitive assessments. Early disease detection through senior panels monitors organ function and identifies potential health issues. We address age-related changes to maintain quality of life for older animals.

Brought my dog in for a simple bandage change (he has a splint wrap that needs changing weekly) and some more pain medication for his broken toe. He had gotten his cast wet (the protective bag kept ripping) so we bought our own supplies and re-wrapped the bandage until we could get an appointment somewhere for them to make sure he hadn't got a rash because of the wet cast. My request was clear, 1. bandage change, and 2. To check that he didn't have irritation under the damp cast before they re-wrapped it. The Dr kept suggesting that we give him a sedative daily on top of his pain medication to

They take great care off my dog. He always hated going to the vet before I took him here. Now he loves going! They are very professional but also obviously really care about my dog.

Over $30 later. Never consulted with us or reviewed the bill when we checked out. We called 3 other loc vets and they said we would never charge to administer medication. All 3 of our dogs came down with kennel cough. Today our oldest boxer woke up throwing up and very sick. Lastly our youngest
