Services
Vaccinations
Our vaccination programs protect pets from preventable diseases through tailored schedules. We administer core vaccines like rabies and distemper while offering specialized immunizations for regional risks. Our veterinarians develop personalized plans considering each pet's age, lifestyle, and health status to ensure optimal protection against infectious diseases.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services prevent and treat periodontal disease through cleanings, x-rays, and surgical interventions. We employ advanced techniques like digital imaging and fluoride treatments to maintain oral health. Regular dental exams help prevent systemic complications from untreated dental infections in pets.
Pet Allergies
We diagnose and manage allergic reactions through blood testing and elimination diets. Our treatment plans combine environmental modifications, immunotherapy, and medications like Apoquel to alleviate symptoms. Customized allergy regimens improve quality of life for pets suffering from skin irritations and respiratory issues.
Senior Animal Care
Specialized wellness programs address age-related changes in senior pets through bi-annual exams and preventive care. We manage chronic conditions like kidney disease and arthritis while providing nutritional guidance. Our team educates owners on adapting care routines for aging companions.
Surgery
Our surgical services range from routine spays/neuters to complex procedures using laparoscopic technology. Board-certified specialists perform soft-tissue, orthopedic, and neurological surgeries with advanced pain management protocols. Minimally invasive techniques ensure faster recovery and reduced post-operative discomfort for patients.

We travel all the way from Brooklyn to this vet. That's how good it is and that's how much we love our dog.

We always feel that our dog Gidget is getting the very best care and that everyone truly cares about her. I think they love their patients as much as we pet parents do, and no one could ask for more whether it is an office visit, boarding, or emergency . We know that she is always receiving guidance and treatment that is in her best interest. They are super great working with the insurance and it is always done immediately so the out- of- pocket costs are minimized for us reducing any possible financial hardship. During the pandemic, and even now, they have made getting food and supplies seamless

We are new to the area and brought our dogs in. The staff was wonderful. They found a heart murmur in one of our babies and I am so glad they caught it early. I am glad that we found such a caring place to take our fur babies.

The hospital was easy to get to. I was pleased that they could take my rabbit Benjamin. I understand the limitations that covid has put on us but we need to be able to see our pets while they are being examined (Skye/zoom) because they can't talk to us and tell us how it went.
