Services
Wellness Checkups
Annual wellness checkups ensure pets receive preventive care through physical exams, vaccination updates, and health screenings. Our veterinarians assess behavior changes, perform diagnostic tests, and provide tailored healthcare plans. These visits include parasite control, dental evaluations, and early detection of age-related issues for puppies, adult pets, and seniors.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include cleanings, extractions, and periodontal disease treatment. We use radiographs to assess subgingival health and recommend VOHC-approved preventative products. Our team addresses broken teeth, infections, and gum disease while emphasizing home care education to maintain oral health between professional visits.
Emergency Treatment
Emergency services address critical conditions like trauma, poisoning, and severe infections during office hours. For after-hours emergencies, we provide referrals to 24-hour facilities. Our staff stabilizes patients with IV fluids, pain management, and diagnostics while maintaining clear communication with pet owners throughout treatment.
Surgical Procedures
Routine and advanced surgeries include spays/neuters, mass removals, and orthopedic repairs. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork guides anesthesia selection, while trained technicians monitor vital signs during procedures. Post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and recovery.
Laser Therapy
Therapeutic laser treatments reduce inflammation and promote healing for conditions like arthritis, wounds, and post-surgical recovery. This non-invasive option stimulates cellular energy production to accelerate tissue repair. Sessions are painless and often incorporated into treatment plans for chronic or acute injuries.

There has been little or no waiting time at appointments, and when we had an emergency they worked us in right away. Staff is friendly, helpful and efficient and are compatible or lower than some other places we have gone.
