Wellness Exams
Our wellness exams establish health baselines and address concerns proactively. We conduct thorough physical assessments, discuss dietary and behavioral changes, and administer vaccinations. These visits ensure early detection of potential issues, promoting long-term pet wellness through preventative strategies tailored to each animal's needs.
Dental Care
Veterinary dentistry services include cleanings, extractions, and periodontal disease management. We use advanced imaging to diagnose hidden issues and provide treatments to alleviate pain while preventing systemic health complications. Regular dental care maintains overall wellness and extends pets' lifespans through improved oral hygiene.
Diagnostic Imaging
Digital X-ray and ultrasound technologies enable precise internal evaluations. These non-invasive tools help diagnose fractures, organ abnormalities, and soft tissue conditions. Quick imaging turnaround supports timely treatment decisions, ensuring accurate interventions for both acute injuries and chronic conditions affecting pets' quality of life.
Surgical Services
We perform general and advanced surgical procedures with strict safety protocols. Our capabilities include spaying/neutering, tumor removals, and orthopedic repairs. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and modern monitoring equipment ensure patient stability throughout operations, minimizing risks while optimizing recovery outcomes for complex medical cases.
Laser Therapy
Therapeutic laser treatments reduce inflammation and accelerate healing for arthritic or injured pets. This non-invasive modality improves mobility and comfort without pharmaceutical side effects. We integrate laser therapy with other treatments to enhance recovery from surgeries, wounds, or chronic degenerative conditions affecting musculoskeletal health.

Report
Cancelled our dog's spay appointment last minute, and were unable to provide a reason. Due to our busy lives we schedule 3 months out. Due to the shortsightedness, we were kicked out of day care until she was spayed. Furthermore, Dr Longo was very condescending.There are a lot of great vet clinics in Annapolis, but this isn't one of them. Far from it. Strongly recommend you look elsewhere.

Avoid this Vet Clinic. The Vet Clinic owner decided I was not a valuable enough client for them. I will go else where where my dog is treated better.
