Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams help maintain your pet's health through early disease detection. These routine checkups evaluate your pet's overall condition, establish health baselines, and identify potential issues before they become serious. Our veterinarians create customized care plans based on your pet's age, breed, and lifestyle.
Dentistry
We provide complete dental services to prevent and treat oral diseases that can affect your pet's overall health. Our dental care includes cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment using modern equipment. Regular dental exams help prevent heart, liver, and kidney problems associated with poor oral health in pets.
Surgery
Our surgical services utilize advanced technology and techniques for both routine and complex procedures. We perform spays/neuters, soft tissue surgeries, and orthopedic procedures in a sterile environment with continuous patient monitoring. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery support.

We offer core and elective vaccinations to protect pets from common infectious diseases. Our vaccination protocols follow AAHA guidelines while considering each pet's individual risk factors. We educate owners about vaccine benefits and schedule appropriate boosters for lifelong immunity.

Our team stabilizes critical patients and provides triage for trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses. We maintain referral relationships with regional specialty hospitals for advanced care.

Great Vets and the office staff is amazing and took good care of us. 2 of our dogs are skittish around other dogs so they helped more us in and out quickly. They do additional bloodwork our old Vet didnt and we found out one has Lime Disease. Great job catching it so we can treat him. Thank you Southgate Vets and staff!
