Services
Laser Therapy
Our FDA-cleared laser therapy accelerates healing through endorphin release and cellular stimulation. This non-invasive treatment effectively manages pain and inflammation for both chronic conditions and post-operative recovery, offering a drug-free alternative with immediate results and no side effects for dogs and cats.
Veterinary Care
Comprehensive medical care includes preventive check-ups, vaccinations, and diagnostics for illness detection. Our team addresses internal medicine needs spanning cardiology, neurology, and oncology through referral partnerships with specialists while maintaining continuity of care for long-term treatment plans.
Dental Services
Professional dental cleanings utilize ultrasonic technology for thorough plaque removal both above and below the gum line. Post-cleaning polishing creates enamel-resistant surfaces, complemented by fluoride treatments to reduce sensitivity and maintain optimal oral health for companion animals.
Nutritional Counseling
Certified staff provides tailored dietary recommendations to address specific health needs and maintain ideal weight. We offer guidance on commercial and homemade food options, emphasizing balanced nutrition to prevent disease and support overall wellness across all pet life stages.
Behavioral Medicine
Specialized diagnosis and treatment of behavioral disorders like separation anxiety and compulsive behaviors help improve pet quality of life. Our approach combines environmental modifications with targeted interventions to address both physical and psychological components of abnormal behaviors.

My first time here, I was nervous and not thrilled I couldn't go in with my boy. But, I understand the reasons. My boy seemed fine and I even got a thank you/welcome card in the mail a few days later. Impressive!

This veterinary office is by far the best I've ever been too. They made me and my buddy Jasper feel welcome. He was my best friend a beautiful black cat who was a special friend and family member. I felt they cared as much about him as I do. They did all they could for him and showed him compassion and love on his last day with us. Words can't express how appreciative and thankful I am that I found this place. I highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a new veterinarian.

We took Dusty there and Dr. Olszak called me on her day off to give me results of blood work. She told me what needed to be done to try and help him. I told her we are on fixed income and won't be able to pay a large amount. She told me it will be very costly, she recommended I get hold of paws 4 a cure. I need my boy to be healthy and I truly don't want to lose him. We love him. I can't let him die ,I just can't afford it all and I can't get paws 4 a cure in time. I am so thankful to her for finding the problem with him. He is having kidney failure. If anyone can help me Please help Dusty.
