Pet Dentistry
Our pet dentistry services address periodontal disease, the most common health issue in dogs and cats over three years old. Using digital dental radiology, we diagnose and treat oral health problems below the gum line. Yearly cleanings are recommended for pets over two years old, with at-home preventive care products available to maintain dental health.
Digital Radiology
Advanced digital radiology provides high-resolution imaging for diagnosing chest, abdominal, and orthopedic conditions. Real-time imaging reduces radiation exposure and allows immediate review, enabling precise treatment plans. This technology supports early detection of abnormalities, improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
Pet Ultrasounds
Ultrasound imaging offers non-invasive diagnostics for abdominal organs, muscles, and tendons. Combined with x-rays and lab tests, it helps avoid surgical intervention. Our certified LVT performs advanced imaging, ensuring detailed diagnostics for complex cases while minimizing patient discomfort.
In-house Laboratory
Our in-house laboratory conducts complete blood counts, urinalysis, fecal testing, and ELISA snap tests for diseases like heartworm and feline leukemia. Rapid results enable timely diagnosis and treatment, with comprehensive screening available for early detection of organ dysfunction and parasitic infections.
Boarding and Grooming
Serenity Pet Resort offers safe, supervised boarding with outdoor playtime and personalized care. Grooming services include bathing, nail trimming, and coat maintenance. Pets receive individual attention, with daily health monitoring and access to veterinary care if needed, ensuring comfort and well-being during their stay.

They really go above and beyond at this vet office. My puppy is super shy and are amazing with her. And my 2 cats don't skip a beat after their visits. They have been reliable about responding to messages when I have questions too. And the fact they use a phone app petdesk to keep all my animals info straight is definitely a plus.

I use Serenity because they are knowledgeable about greyhounds. It's a great veterinarian hospital. They are not cheap as it takes money to run a veterinarian clinic well. But I trust the care that they give to my sighthounds.

Dr Sherman literally saved my dog's life. She was relentless about finding out what was wrong with our 2 year old lab mix - ended up being a rare blood disease. After spending 1000s of dollars on MRIs and tests she was the only one that helped. We have had over 9 extra years with our sweet Misty that we wouldn't have had if we didn't meet Dr Sherman. We are forever grateful.
