Services
Pet Exams
Our preventive care services include comprehensive physical exams to detect early signs of illness in cats, dogs, and other pets. Regular checkups help maintain long-term health through vaccinations, parasite prevention, and nutritional guidance. Our veterinarians assess vital organs, dental health, and mobility to create customized wellness plans for each animal.
Surgical Procedures
We perform advanced surgical treatments using modern equipment for soft tissue, orthopedic, and laser procedures. Pre-surgical evaluations ensure patient safety while post-operative monitoring promotes proper recovery. Our team specializes in minimally invasive techniques that reduce pain and accelerate healing for cats and dogs.
Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses therapeutic lasers to reduce inflammation, alleviate chronic pain, and accelerate tissue repair. It benefits pets with arthritis, post-surgical conditions, or musculoskeletal injuries through cellular stimulation that enhances natural healing processes without medication side effects.
Emergency Care
Our hospital provides immediate medical attention for pets experiencing trauma, poisoning, or acute illness. Available during regular business hours, this service addresses critical conditions through rapid diagnostics and stabilization procedures before initiating specialized treatment plans for recovery.
Exotic Pet Care
We offer medical services for non-traditional pets including reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals. Our veterinarians provide species-specific nutrition advice, habitat recommendations, and treatment for conditions affecting exotic animals like bearded dragons, sugar gliders, and chinchillas.

They weren't accepting me patients. My sweet baby got into some chocolate..... she was very sick. I rushed her there, exclaimed what happened. They rushed her to the back no questions asked. She stayed overnight. She's alive and thriving again. Then, when I found out how much the bill was, and having children, and responsibilities I didn't have enough on hand to cover. They were so gracious and let me put down a very small down payment and I have them my banking information and permission topull the remainder on payday. My bill was paid as promised. They are heroes. And now my baby has an amazing

Took my cat here for pet boarding and got weird vibes as soon as I dropped her off - Just got the feeling that I was not welcomed. The attendant seemed very overwhelmed, but I brushed it off. Some things that were not communicated to me beforehand: 1) you have to call when you arrive 2) masks are optional until you get into an exam room. Poor communication and will not be going back.

After our primary boarding facility was at capacity we reached out to FLAH for boarding for the upcoming weekend. We didn't have the Lepto vaccine (which other facilities don't require and some vets question the necessity of) they required for boarding, so instead of telling us they wouldn't be able to service us, which would have allowed us to find alternative plans, they had us jump through hoops with our own vet only to tell us over a day later that the vaccine would have to be administered two weeks prior to boarding. This resulted in us having to miss our daughter's end of the summer dance
