Services
Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams involve nose-to-tail evaluations for early detection of health issues. We assess body condition, organ systems, and skin health while providing vaccination schedules and parasite prevention plans. Routine check-ups help maintain pet wellness through proactive care strategies tailored to each animal's specific needs.
Pet Dentistry
We provide professional dental cleanings and oral disease management to prevent systemic infections. Our services include tartar removal, dental X-rays, and tooth extractions when necessary. Regular dental exams help maintain oral health, preventing pain and complications from periodontal disease.
Surgical Procedures
Our surgical services range from routine spays/neuters to complex soft tissue operations. Using modern anesthetic protocols and monitoring equipment, we ensure patient safety during procedures. Post-operative care instructions help pet owners support optimal recovery outcomes for their animals.
Diagnostic Imaging
We utilize radiography to diagnose internal conditions affecting bones and organs. Digital X-rays provide immediate results for faster treatment decisions. This non-invasive technology helps identify fractures, tumors, and organ abnormalities requiring medical intervention.
End of Life Care
We offer compassionate euthanasia services and support during difficult decisions. Our team provides pain management options and aftercare arrangements while respecting pet owner preferences for their companion's final moments.

Love the care my Chiweenie receives from the staff! Dr. Dugan and his staff are professional and very caring. If you are looking for a new Animal Hospital I highly recommend. They use PetDesk app which makes communication and scheduling appointments much easier.
