Services
Examination
Our comprehensive health examinations assess your pet's overall condition through physical evaluation and medical history review. These routine visits help detect early signs of disease while establishing baseline health metrics. Our veterinarians provide tailored recommendations for preventive care, vaccinations, and lifestyle adjustments based on your pet's specific needs and life stage.
In-House Lab
On-site laboratory equipment enables rapid blood work, urinalysis, and parasite screening for immediate results. This capability allows timely diagnosis of infections, organ function issues, and metabolic disorders. Our diagnostic services support accurate treatment planning and monitoring of chronic conditions, reducing wait times for critical health assessments.
Digital X-Ray
Digital radiography provides high-resolution internal imaging for diagnosing fractures, joint issues, and organ abnormalities. This non-invasive technology offers quicker results with reduced radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays. Our imaging services aid in evaluating respiratory conditions, cardiac health, and skeletal structures with enhanced diagnostic precision.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include professional cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment to maintain oral health. We utilize advanced equipment for scaling, polishing, and dental radiography to address tooth decay and gum disease. Regular dental care prevents systemic infections and supports overall wellness through improved oral hygiene.
Laser Therapy
Therapeutic laser treatments reduce inflammation and promote healing for post-surgical recovery or chronic conditions. This non-invasive modality enhances circulation and tissue regeneration for pets with arthritis, wounds, or soft tissue injuries. Our laser therapy provides drug-free pain relief and accelerates healing without requiring sedation.

I called to make an appointment for my wifes dog and was told due to missed appointments from 2014-2018 I have to prepay to set an appointment. Not only that I was told as of today that there was a new policy placed as of November and I never got any kind of notice through mail, via email, text, or call. I was informed today but you would think if youre running a business you would be notified ahead of time like any other kind of business. I know of my mistakes on missing appointments but it should not reflect on me this time around. Also being told that I need to prove myself in order to

They saved my Chiweenie. It was expensive, and they wanted the money upfront, but her eye was hanging out. They removed the eye and saved her life. They also did what they could do to keep costs down for me. Plus, they trimmed her unruly nails!

They were incredible. Dr. Wade even sat on the floor to meet my mom's dog and was so friendly and loving to all my pets I took in that day. Last week Dr. O'Brien showed the same loving care and even examined my granddaughter's stuffed kitty and gave her a clean bill of health! They are truly amazing!

Totally unreliable. They were going to let my dog die. What's the point of having an "animal HOSPITAL" If you don't take emergencies?? So thankful we found Cascade Veterinary Clinic. The people there are soooo much more professional and reliable. The receptionist at this "hospital" was short and rude and cold despite my dog (and myself) being in distress. Her attitude STINKS. They need to change their name to "Pick and Choose Animal Clinic" because that's EXACTLY what they do. Totally misleading. Totally unreliable. GO TO CASCADE INSTEAD THEY ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT ANIMALS.

They are always attentive to our cats and work to get them seen when there is an emergency. Provide necessary solutions and care at a very reasonable price. I would not go anywhere else.
