Wellness Programs
Our comprehensive wellness programs protect pets at every life stage. Puppy/kitten visits prevent parasites and establish vaccination schedules while adult exams detect early disease signs through bloodwork and physical assessments. Senior pets receive specialized screening for age-related conditions. Each visit includes tailored nutrition advice, behavioral guidance, and preventive care recommendations to maximize longevity.
Surgical Services
We perform spay/neuter procedures, soft tissue surgeries, and orthopedic interventions with advanced monitoring. Our surgical suite maintains strict anesthetic protocols with pre-operative bloodwork, continuous vital sign tracking, and post-operative pain management. Common procedures include mass removals, ear surgery, fracture repairs, and hip dysplasia treatments using both traditional and minimally invasive techniques.
Diagnostic Testing
Our in-house lab supports rapid bloodwork analysis, urinalysis, and parasite screening. Digital radiography provides immediate imaging for bone fractures and internal conditions. Specialized testing includes cardiac biomarkers (CARDIOPET proBNP), thyroid panels, and infectious disease screening. Results enable prompt diagnosis of kidney/liver disease, diabetes, and endocrine disorders for timely treatment.
Dentistry
Dental care prevents systemic infections through annual cleanings and oral exams. We perform digital dental radiography, tartar removal, and gum disease treatment. Advanced cases receive periodontal therapy or tooth extractions under monitored anesthesia. Preventive care includes home brushing guidance, dental diets, and chew recommendations to maintain oral health that impacts overall systemic wellness.
Emergency Care
Urgent care services address sudden illnesses, injuries, and post-operative complications. Our team handles trauma stabilization, allergic reactions, and acute organ failures. The clinic offers rapid diagnostic testing, emergency surgery capabilities, and critical care monitoring. We recommend immediate consultations for symptoms like difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, seizures, or sudden behavioral changes in pets.

Rude front office staff. Called for Er visit Tuesday was squeezed in Friday. Dr Issac was in our room for less 2 mins. I do not feel that my dog was assessed properly. Very quick to leave the room, no opportunity to ask any questions. I went to front office staff to follow up on plan of care and was told they didnt see something in a note from her last visit. Asked to speak to Dr Issac and was told they were too busy. After 14 years going to Krause we will not be returning. Do yourself a favor and find a vet that will give you and your fur baby the time of day.

My father had a Black Lab named Mollie. He has always taken her to Krause Veterinary Clinic. So after 12 years of taking Mollie to Krause Veterinary Clinic my father passed on Mollie came to live with me. I continued to keep her apts. with this Veterinary Clinic for the next 2.5 years. Mollie wasn't doing at all well. I've been caring her in and out of the house into the back yard because she was too weak. We were hoping she would pass on her own. But it was apparent this wasn't going to happen. So I called Krause Clinic up to bring her in knowing she didn't have much time left. It was a very hard

The doctors are super knowledgeable and helpful, the facility is always very clean. The front desk staff will make you jump through hoops to get help and straight up they don't know their own hours and will tell you they are open when they arent. I'd love to see them work on getting more helpful staff.

Walked in with a sick pup, and everyone was amazing. The staff we interacted with was compassionate and so sweet. All the doctors here are easy to understand, knowledgeable and willing to answer my many questions. Will definitely be going back here. Worth the 30 min drive.
