Services
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness visits detect early signs of dental disease, heart conditions, and skin problems through comprehensive physical exams. We recommend vaccinations, parasite prevention, and disease screening tailored to your pet's age and lifestyle. Our preventative care approach helps maintain long-term health and extends pets' lifespans through early intervention.
Diagnostic Services
In-house diagnostic capabilities include radiology, bloodwork, ultrasound, and cytology for rapid results during critical situations. Our endoscopy equipment enables non-surgical foreign object removal and internal examinations. These tools support accurate diagnosis of illnesses and injuries while minimizing patient stress through immediate care.
Emergency Care
After-hours emergency services available for established patients with 24/7 doctor on-call availability. We handle urgent surgical needs, trauma cases, and critical illnesses with advanced anesthetic monitoring. Large animal emergencies receive mobile support, though severe cases may require referral to specialized facilities during off-hours.
Dentistry
Comprehensive dental care addresses periodontal disease through scaling, polishing, and extractions under general anesthesia. We perform dental X-rays to identify hidden issues and offer pain management solutions. Our focus on oral health prevents systemic infections and maintains overall wellness for pets showing signs of dental disease.
Large Animal Services
Mobile farm call services cover routine and emergency care for dairy cattle, beef cattle, horses, and small ruminants. We provide reproductive services, herd health programs, and on-farm surgical capabilities. Our equine services include lameness evaluations, vaccinations, and integrative care for performance and companion animals.

Welcoming staff- wonderful communication and clean facility! I had an emergency with my cat (who I love so so much) we had been going to another vets office due to travel but had bad experiences there. Montpelier was able to get us in the same day, do the surgery and keep him over night. We will be staying with them from now on.
