Services
Wellness Care
Our comprehensive wellness exams include nose-to-tail physical assessments, vaccination programs, and parasite prevention tailored to each pet's age and health status. We develop individualized care plans focusing on early disease detection and long-term health maintenance. Our preventative care approach helps identify potential issues before they become serious, including nutritional counseling and senior pet monitoring.
Dental Care
We provide complete dental services including professional cleanings, oral exams, and treatment for periodontal disease. Our team uses digital dental radiography to assess tooth root health and performs extractions when necessary. Preventative education focuses on at-home care techniques and dietary recommendations to maintain optimal oral health and prevent systemic infections.
Surgical Services
Our surgical suite offers spays/neuters, soft tissue procedures, and emergency operations using modern anesthetic protocols. Each patient receives preoperative diagnostics and continuous monitoring during procedures. Post-operative care includes pain management and detailed recovery instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize complications.
Diagnostic Imaging
We utilize digital radiography and ultrasound equipment for internal organ assessment and musculoskeletal evaluations. These non-invasive tools help diagnose conditions affecting the heart, lungs, urinary tract, and abdominal organs. Our experienced veterinarians interpret imaging results to develop targeted treatment plans based on accurate diagnoses.
End of Life Care
Compassionate end-of-life support includes euthanasia services and personalized memorial options. Our team provides emotional support during difficult decision-making and offers aftercare arrangements. We create peaceful environments for final visits and work closely with families to honor each pet's unique relationship and legacy.

I would of gave this place a 5 if the lady answering the phones and greeting customers was more professional and not so rude. Seems like she brings her problems from home to work. But besides this the doctor was very nice and handled my 2 cats with care.

We have used Meisels for the past 31 years. In that time Dr. Moldoff and his staff have provided caring service for our three dogs and two cats who have since passed over the "rainbow bridge" as well as his two current patients, our dogs Cassidy and Bailey. There is no substitute for the experience and professionalism Dr. Moldoff brings to his practice. We are appreciative as well for Meghan and her kind approach, her fellow techs and the front desk staff. It is a pleasure to post these long overdue words of appreciation.

The doctors and staff are so thorough in their examination and always handle my 14 year old senior dog with gentleness and patience. They talk sweetly to her and keep her calm throughout the examination. They explain everything to us in detail but without over reacting, so we stay calm too. Her surgery and recovery went very smoothly, which further proves their competence. We always come with a list of questions which we go through so we feel well prepared for the home care, plus they always check up on her the next day. My wife, dog, and I are very very pleased .
