Pet Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams monitor pet health through physical evaluations, weight assessments, and preventive care planning. We examine skin, coat, eyes, ears, dental health, and vital organs while discussing nutrition and behavior. Early detection of potential issues allows timely intervention. These exams help maintain optimal health and extend lifespan through personalized care recommendations.
Pet Vaccinations
Tailored vaccination programs protect pets against core and non-core diseases based on age, lifestyle, and risk factors. We administer rabies, distemper, and parvovirus vaccines while recommending additional protection against bordetella, leptospirosis, and feline leukemia. Our schedules ensure proper immunity development for puppies, kittens, and adult pets through regular booster shots.
Pet Spaying and Neutering
Spaying and neutering procedures prevent pet overpopulation while offering health and behavioral benefits. These surgeries reduce cancer risks, infections, and hormone-driven behaviors like roaming. Our team provides pre-surgical consultations, safe anesthesia monitoring, and detailed post-operative care instructions for smooth recovery and long-term wellness.
Pet Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings and exams prevent periodontal disease through scaling, polishing, and gum health assessments. We address bad breath, tooth decay, and gingivitis while educating owners on home care techniques. Untreated dental issues can lead to systemic infections affecting heart and kidney function, making regular checkups crucial for overall pet health.
Pet Rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation programs combine therapeutic exercises, underwater treadmill therapy, and acupuncture to improve mobility and manage pain. These treatments assist post-surgical recovery, arthritis management, and neurological condition support. Customized plans enhance strength, flexibility, and quality of life for pets with chronic conditions or sports injuries.

Good but expensive. Kind of too expensive compared to 5 years ago. They lost their personal touch when Dr Mike stop being there full-time the owner of the place now it's always some other doctor and you never get to see Dr Mike and that was the reason why we started going there 15 years ago

This is not the animal hospital it once was. I have brought my dogs to this facility for many years and have been happy with the care my dogs have received until the past year. My puppy was given an unnecessary rabies vaccine because the staff did not review her history from the breeder! When I questioned them, they assured me that there would be no harm. I figured the extra stress from Covid might be to blame. Today, I arrived at 8:01 and called in for my dog's 8 am appointment. After being on hold for 20 minutes, I was nastily told that since we were so late, the doctor had taken another patient

Dr. Gerevics is amazing with our girl, peach, who is working on her reactivity! This is our one stop pup shop for their medical and behavioral needs. We completed training with the Nobel beast here too. All the staff are incredibly helpful and very responsive.

They have a very caring staff. I have been there approx 12 times this past month for rehab for 1 of my 4 dogs and they are very professional and thorough. My dogs like going and I'm very confident in what they tell me my dogs need. Whether it be dental or rehabilitation for bad joints, they know what they are doing.
