Preventative Medicine
Our preventative medicine program focuses on early disease detection through regular checkups and tailored wellness plans. We help pet owners understand vaccination schedules, parasite prevention, and nutrition strategies to maximize their pets' longevity. This proactive approach reduces long-term healthcare costs while ensuring pets maintain optimal health throughout their lives.
Dentistry
We provide comprehensive dental services including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal disease treatment. Our team educates owners about home care routines to prevent oral health issues that can impact pets' overall wellbeing. Advanced dental diagnostics and pain management protocols ensure comfortable treatment experiences for all patients.
Vaccinations
Customized vaccination plans protect pets against common infectious diseases based on their age, lifestyle, and exposure risks. Our veterinarians explain core versus non-core vaccines and maintain detailed records to ensure timely boosters. We prioritize vaccine safety while maximizing disease prevention for individual and community pet health.
Emergency Care
Sunday emergency services address critical pet health issues outside regular hours. Our team handles trauma, poisoning, breathing difficulties, and other life-threatening conditions with immediate diagnostic testing and stabilization procedures. We provide triage care while coordinating follow-up treatment with primary veterinarians when needed.

I recently moved and had to change vets. After calling a couple and finding out they had no availability until months later I decided to give happy pets a call. They required a $75 new patient fee that I found to be strange (I have never been asked to do something like this before). A vet much closer to where I live got back to me a few minutes after I had made the appointment at happy pets. It was literally 5 minutes after I made my appointment, but happy pets would not give me back my $75. They never told me the fee was nonrefundable. I honestly feel like they stole from me. I would think long

Great experience with Happy Pets. We adopted a dog about a year ago and they have been great with helping us with medication, routine exams and anything else we have needed to care for our new family member. Definitely recommend!

My dog bear had a bad ear infection, and the place I usually went to had been shut down due to Hurricane Ida. They were really quick about helping him and gave me clear instructions on how to take care of him afterwards. Would def take him back here in the future!

Dr. Sulner is fantastic! We recently moved to the area and heard about Happy Pets for our dog. She has now become his primary veterinarian. From random scares to routine checkups not only is she thorough but extremely in love with our pup. Highly recommend Happy Pets!

Good place! Nice people. We had a little bit of an issue with my dog Harper but they were very kind and fixed the problem quickly and effectively. Thank you! I really appreciate it.
