Services
Medical Services
Our veterinary team provides comprehensive diagnostic services including lab work, imaging, and physical exams to identify health issues in pets. We treat chronic conditions and acute illnesses with evidence-based protocols. Our approach combines advanced technology with personalized treatment plans to ensure accurate diagnoses and effective care for dogs and cats of all ages.
Surgical Services
We offer surgical interventions ranging from routine spay/neuter procedures to complex soft tissue surgeries. Our facility maintains strict sterilization protocols and uses modern anesthetic monitoring systems. Preoperative assessments and postoperative care instructions ensure patient safety. Our surgeons prioritize pain management and recovery support to promote optimal healing outcomes for all surgical patients.
Wellness Programs
Customized wellness plans address pets' health needs at every life stage through vaccinations, parasite prevention, and nutritional guidance. Annual checkups help detect early disease indicators before symptoms appear. We create tailored vaccination schedules based on lifestyle and risk factors. Regular wellness visits establish baseline health metrics that aid in identifying future abnormalities.
Cold Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment reduces inflammation and promotes healing for pets with arthritis, cruciate injuries, or back problems. The therapy stimulates cellular regeneration without requiring medication. We integrate laser treatments with traditional pain management approaches to enhance mobility and comfort. Sessions typically last 15-20 minutes with noticeable improvement after multiple treatments.
Nutritional Counseling
Our staff provides science-based dietary recommendations to address weight management, food sensitivities, and medical conditions. We evaluate pets' body condition scores and activity levels to determine caloric needs. Custom meal plans consider breed-specific requirements and owner feeding preferences. Regular follow-ups monitor progress toward optimal weight and health goals.

Report
This is the best vet in the area. I can’t even say enough good things Dr. Werger and the entire Mountaintop Animal Hospital staff. Our puppy got a cut on his leg and our normal vet couldn’t get us in until 3 days later to look at it so we would of had to go to the local emergency animal hospital which could be hours wait and ridiculously expensive. Dr. Werger took us right in even though they were so busy and was able to fix our puppy right up. He saved us hours of our time and a lot of money! These people truly care about the well being of animals and will go out of their way to make

A few days ago we had the extremely painful duty to put our beloved boy Atlas to sleep. We cannot thank the doctor and staff enough for gently helping us along. They were so caring and concerned the last few weeks we will never forget their kindness and compassion .
