Services
Pet Dental Care
Our comprehensive dental services include cleanings, extractions, and oral health assessments. Using digital dental radiology, we diagnose and treat periodontal disease to prevent systemic health issues. Regular dental care helps maintain your pet's overall well-being and longevity.
Surgical Procedures
We perform spays, neuters, and soft tissue surgeries in a sterile environment with advanced monitoring equipment. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures patient safety, while laser surgery options reduce post-operative discomfort and recovery time for improved outcomes.
Pet Laser Therapy
This non-invasive therapy uses focused light to reduce inflammation, manage chronic pain, and accelerate healing. It's particularly effective for pets with arthritis or post-surgical recovery needs, offering a drug-free pain management alternative with visible improvements after multiple sessions.
Pet Behavior Counseling
Our Fear Free Certified team addresses anxiety, aggression, and destructive behaviors through customized behavior modification plans. We focus on creating positive associations with veterinary visits while providing home environment recommendations to improve pet-owner interactions.
Advanced Diagnostics
Digital radiology, ultrasound, and in-house lab testing enable rapid, accurate diagnoses. These tools help identify internal issues like organ abnormalities or fractures, allowing immediate treatment planning and better patient outcomes through early intervention.

Dr Beck and Dr Berndt have always been helpful taking care of our pets. Life is good all around, and we are working happily towards working out the health kinks in our senior cat. Been with the vets for more than 10 years, service has been good.

I LOVE CPAH!! Since 1970, they have taken exemplary care of my family. Over the years, there have been a few changes in doctors (but not many, considering how long ago I started going there), but all have been caring, knowledgeable and totally devoted to my furry friends. I highly recommend it to anyone who asks, and some who don't! Trust me, they are AWESOME!!
