Veterinary Rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation services combine underwater treadmill therapy, therapeutic laser treatments, and customized exercise programs to improve mobility and recovery for pets with orthopedic or neurological conditions. Certified practitioners utilize advanced techniques to address post-operative recovery and chronic conditions. The spacious heated therapy pool allows for hands-on treatment sessions that reduce stress while maximizing therapeutic benefits for dogs and cats.
Pet Dentistry
Comprehensive dental care includes professional cleanings, digital radiography, and surgical extractions to maintain oral health. Our team addresses periodontal disease prevention and treatment of dental infections that can impact overall pet wellness. Regular dental evaluations help prevent systemic health issues affecting heart, liver, and kidney function in companion animals.
In Patient Care
Dedicated ICU monitoring and species-specific wards provide optimal recovery environments for critically ill or post-surgical patients. Continuous veterinary oversight ensures timely interventions while specialized nursing care maintains patient comfort. Separate dog and cat treatment areas minimize stress during hospitalization periods.
Laboratory Services
On-site diagnostic laboratory capabilities enable rapid bloodwork analysis and disease screening for early detection of metabolic disorders. Comprehensive testing protocols help identify subclinical conditions in senior pets and monitor treatment effectiveness through reference laboratory partnerships for specialized diagnostics.
Acupuncture
Certified veterinary acupuncturists use sterile needle insertion at biologically active points to manage chronic pain and neurological conditions. This complementary therapy addresses musculoskeletal issues and internal medical conditions through neurochemical regulation and improved circulation patterns in canine and feline patients.

Dr. Happen & staff were very helpful and sympathetic when we had to treat our cat for cancer, then put her to sleep. I highly recommend them.

We used board our handicapped dachshund Willie here when we had to go out of town. They always took such wonderful care of him and we knew that we had nothing to worry about. Outstanding service and a warm, compassionate staff.
