Medical Care
Our comprehensive medical services address acute and chronic conditions through advanced diagnostics and targeted treatments. We manage gastrointestinal issues, allergies, respiratory diseases, and infectious conditions using modern equipment like digital radiology and electrocardiography. With tailored treatment plans, we ensure pets receive appropriate care for their specific health needs while maintaining open communication with pet owners about diagnosis and recovery processes.
Dentistry
We provide complete dental services including professional cleanings, digital x-rays, and oral surgery to maintain optimal pet oral health. Our team educates owners on home care techniques and uses local anesthetics to ensure patient comfort during procedures. Regular dental checkups help prevent systemic infections that can affect vital organs, making this a critical component of preventative pet healthcare.
Preventative Care
Our preventative medicine approach includes semi-annual exams, vaccinations, and age-specific diagnostic testing to detect early disease indicators. We emphasize proactive health management through parasite prevention, nutritional counseling, and tailored wellness plans that adapt to pets' changing needs throughout their life stages, helping extend their lifespan and quality of life.
Emergency Services
Available six days weekly, our emergency services handle critical situations like trauma, poisoning, and acute illness. Trained staff utilize advanced monitoring equipment and maintain immediate access to surgical facilities for life-saving interventions. We prioritize rapid assessment and stabilization while providing clear guidance to pet owners during high-stress situations, ensuring timely and effective treatment.
Nutrition Plans
We develop customized nutrition strategies considering breed-specific requirements, age, weight, and medical conditions. Our team offers guidance on commercial diets, prescription food options, and home-cooked meal plans formulated with veterinary nutritionists. By addressing dietary needs, we help manage chronic conditions like joint pain and food allergies while promoting overall pet wellness through balanced nutrition.

Dr. Klein, one-in-a million vet, saved the life of our beloved collie mix, after she had been misdiagnosed elsewhere. What you will find at Buck Road is absolutely superior, admirably attentive and compassionate care. Our pets cannot speak for themselves and tell us what is wrong. Dr. Klein truly listened to our account of our collies symptoms, observed her with laser-focus attention and deep kindness, marshaled a series of probing questions and brought all his extraordinary diagnostic skills to resolve her crisis. For anyone who has read the All Creatures Great and Small series, James Herriots
