Services
Veterinary Exams
Annual physical examinations help detect health issues early through thorough assessments of vital signs, coat condition, and organ function. Our veterinarians create customized wellness plans based on age, breed, and medical history. Preventive care visits include parasite screenings and vaccination updates to maintain optimal pet health.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include professional cleanings, extractions, and oral surgery using digital X-rays to identify hidden dental disease. We educate owners on home care techniques while treating periodontal issues to prevent systemic health complications from oral infections.
Surgical Procedures
Our surgical suite handles soft tissue and orthopedic procedures with advanced monitoring equipment for anesthesia safety. Preoperative bloodwork ensures surgical candidates are healthy enough for procedures ranging from spays/neuters to complex tumor removals and fracture repairs.
Diagnostic Imaging
Digital radiography provides immediate high-resolution images for diagnosing fractures, respiratory issues, and internal organ abnormalities. Dental X-rays allow precise evaluation of tooth roots and jawbone health to guide appropriate treatment plans.
Integrative Medicine
Combining conventional treatments with alternative therapies like acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, and laser therapy addresses chronic pain and mobility issues. This approach benefits pets with arthritis, neurological conditions, and recovery needs through non-invasive treatment options.

My dog injured her leg. Took her to see Dr Brancel. She sprained her leg. Dr. gave me some pills to keep the swelling down. Great Doctor, he kept my dog calm while he was looking at het.
