Services
Veterinary Surgery
Our clinic provides comprehensive surgical services ranging from routine spays/neuters to complex orthopedic procedures. Our experienced surgeons utilize modern anesthetic protocols and monitoring equipment to ensure patient safety. We specialize in soft tissue surgery, fracture repairs, and tumor removals while emphasizing post-operative care and pain management.
Laser Therapy
We offer therapeutic laser treatments for pets suffering from arthritis, injuries, or post-surgical recovery. This non-invasive technology reduces inflammation, accelerates healing, and alleviates pain without medication. Treatments require no sedation and can be combined with other medical therapies for optimal patient outcomes.
Equine Wellness
Our equine services include customized wellness programs for foals, breeding mares, and performance horses. We provide vaccinations, dental floating, nutritional counseling, and reproductive assistance. Regular health assessments help maintain optimal condition for working and pleasure horses throughout their lives.
Dental Care
We diagnose and treat common oral diseases affecting pets' overall health. Services include professional cleanings, tooth extractions, and oral exams. Our team educates owners about home dental care while addressing issues like bad breath, gum disease, and eating difficulties through preventive and therapeutic interventions.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our facility offers digital radiography and ultrasound for accurate internal diagnostics. These tools help identify injuries, organ abnormalities, and reproductive status in both small animals and horses. Advanced imaging capabilities support timely, precise diagnoses to guide effective treatment plans.

They were so disrespectful when I called them over the phone concerning my dog and his well-being. Switching to a new vet asap because no one should be disrespected when it comes to getting things straightened out.

Dr. Smith is an attention to detail, no none sense doctor. She is an advocate for my fury friends. As well her compassion for all concerned is appropriate and appreciated. Highly recommend Dr. Smith and the rest of the crew for all your pet needs.

I love this clinic. They are kind, practical and very patient with pets and pet parents with a bit to much worry on the mind. I never fail to notice that after an "owie" there's always a good dose of loving pets.I truly believe my vet loves my pet. It's more than a job. It's his calling

Wonderful Vets here! Even call back after hours, most recently on Memorial Day weekend when I called in a panic over an injury my beloved Boxer dog was exhibiting. He gave me helpful information which I followed. :)

They were very professional and friendly! Our kittens weren't scared at all and the Vet kindly answered all of our questions. They have even answered our pet concerns over the phone any time we called wondering if we needed to bring any of our pets in. They are very caring and we will be using them while we live in the area. Can't go wrong with this place.
