Boarding

Our boarding facility provides a comfortable, climate-controlled environment for pets when owners are away. Each stay includes air conditioning in summer, heating in winter, and heated floors for added comfort. Reservations require up-to-date vaccinations to ensure all pets' safety. Our staff monitors boarded animals closely, offering personalized attention and care.

Grooming

Professional grooming services include baths, haircuts, nail trims, and ear cleaning tailored to breed-specific needs. We use specialized shampoos and conditioners for skin conditions and offer full-body brush-outs. Appointments fill quickly, so early booking is recommended. Our groomers prioritize pet comfort while delivering a polished, hygienic finish.

Dental Care

Comprehensive dental cleanings prevent periodontal disease through professional scaling, polishing, and extractions when necessary. We utilize digital X-rays to assess underlying issues and recommend home care strategies. Regular dental exams help avoid systemic health complications from oral infections, ensuring pets maintain healthy smiles.

Surgery

We perform routine and complex surgical procedures with pre-operative bloodwork and monitoring for safety. Services include spaying/neutering, soft tissue surgeries, and orthopedic repairs. Post-operative care plans incorporate pain management and follow-up exams. Our surgical team uses modern techniques to optimize recovery outcomes.

Wellness Exams

Annual wellness exams detect early signs of illness through physical assessments and diagnostic testing. We evaluate weight, coat condition, dental health, and organ function during these visits. Vaccination schedules and parasite prevention plans are customized based on lifestyle factors. Regular check-ups help maintain long-term pet health.

Doctors themselves are okay and very knowledgeable, their staff is the one that gives them a bad image. Theres only one staff member who is sweet as pie , while the rest are rude and condescending. One tall bigger lady rolled her eyes at us, office manager was quite rude in a voicemail in regards to a missed appt. would not recommend due to staff
So let me add to this and say even though staff is disrespectful and rude , WE must be the respectful ones ? This place is insane.

They refused to give me a paper prescription so I could send it to chewy for my beagles medicine. Then told me I had to use their online pharmacy and when we did they denied us the ability to buy them because now all of a sudden she needed a heart worm test. No mention of that at any point any time recently . Although Dr mark did a fantastic job with our Ellies spay I will not continue to go to a EXPENSIVE vet that gives me the run around and now my dog has been without her flea, tick , heart worm pill for weeks now because of their stupidity

First time going here was when my cat passed. I'll be forever grateful how tactful they handled the situation. I recently brought my dog in to get her nails trimmed and I was in and out in under 10 minutes. Would highly recommend.
