Services
Wellness Exam
Our comprehensive wellness exams detect early health issues and maintain optimal pet health through physical examinations, dental assessments, and preventive screenings. We tailor vaccination protocols to individual risk factors while providing nutritional guidance and parasite prevention. With specialized care for senior pets, our exams combine traditional medicine with alternative therapies to address both immediate and long-term health needs. This proactive approach helps prevent disease progression and extends healthy lifespans through early intervention.
Cold Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses specific light wavelengths to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate tissue healing. We employ it for arthritis management, post-surgical recovery, and chronic pain conditions by stimulating cellular repair processes without medication side effects. The therapy improves circulation and nerve function while promoting faster healing of wounds and musculoskeletal injuries through enhanced cellular metabolism and reduced oxidative stress.
Pet Surgery
Our surgical suite handles routine and complex procedures with pre-anesthetic bloodwork, advanced monitoring, and multi-modal pain management. We perform spays/neuters, mass removals, foreign body extractions, and emergency surgeries using sterile techniques and post-operative rehabilitation plans. Digital imaging and in-house diagnostics ensure surgical precision while personalized recovery protocols optimize healing outcomes for both soft tissue and orthopedic procedures.
Acupuncture
Administered by certified practitioners, our acupuncture treatments address chronic pain, neurological conditions, and mobility issues by stimulating specific body points. This ancient practice enhances blood flow, triggers endorphin release, and restores energy balance to improve quality of life for pets with arthritis, disc disease, or digestive disorders. Sessions are customized to individual needs and often complement conventional treatments for enhanced therapeutic effects.
Mobile Services
Our mobile veterinary units provide large animal care at farms and stables across the region. Equipped for on-site diagnostics and treatments, we offer bovine, equine, and small ruminant services including wellness exams, vaccinations, and emergency care. This service reduces animal stress while providing specialized veterinary attention in familiar environments with access to our full diagnostic laboratory and treatment facilities.

When you arrive you are greeted by a kind and skilled staff.They reach out to you and your pet to make you feel comfortable. My German Shepherd loves this place. He struts in like it's his own home. To me that tells me he feels comfortable being with people he hardly knows. Coming from a security dog. But he trust them with a wagging tail and a kissing tongue. I truly believe he likes coming here for checkups.
