Services

Exams

Our comprehensive wellness exams ensure early detection of health issues through thorough physical evaluations. Annual checkups include vital sign monitoring, weight management, and vaccination updates. Sick pet exams focus on specific symptoms like vomiting, skin issues, or mobility problems. These preventive measures help maintain optimal health and extend pets' lifespans while building trust between owners and veterinary staff.

Diagnostics

Advanced diagnostic capabilities include blood work, urinalysis, and radiography for accurate health assessments. ECG monitoring supports cardiac evaluations while specialized tests identify infectious diseases. Timely diagnostics enable precise treatment plans for chronic conditions or acute illnesses. Our in-house lab accelerates results for urgent cases, improving patient outcomes through rapid intervention.

Vaccines

Preventative care programs protect pets from life-threatening diseases through customized vaccination schedules. Oral and topical preventatives combat parasites like fleas, ticks, and heartworm. Regular booster shots maintain immunity while wellness screenings detect age-related conditions early. This proactive approach reduces long-term healthcare costs and prevents avoidable pet suffering through disease prevention.

Surgery

Our surgical services include spays, neuters, mass removals, and soft tissue procedures under monitored anesthesia. Pre-operative bloodwork ensures patient safety while post-operative care instructions guide home recovery. Pain management protocols prioritize comfort throughout the surgical process. Emergency surgeries address trauma cases with immediate intervention to stabilize critical patients.

Dental Care

Comprehensive dental care includes routine cleanings, extractions, and oral health assessments under anesthesia. Digital dental radiography identifies hidden periodontal disease affecting overall health. Professional cleanings prevent tooth loss while oral pain management ensures patient comfort. Regular dental maintenance reduces systemic infection risks from untreated mouth bacteria.

I have been going to this veterinarian for the past 13 years. My dog has recently declined and has been seeing the vet there for the past month for an eye issue. I called this morning to make an appointment for another evaluation because I think my dog had a stroke and I explained to the receptionist, Shelley that I was looking to have the doctor evaluate my dog and make some determination. Basically she told me that I have two choices I can either come in for diagnostic testing after the exam or to euthanize my dog at 4:10 PM today. I was shocked and devastated that she did not show any compassion

We've been taking our dogs here for a few years now. Jen and her staff are incredibly knowledgeable and are always willing to spend a little more time explaining things about our dogs' health. Highly recommend!

We had our first well visit with Dr. Montpetit. The staff is kind and loving with my dogs. You can tell they love what they do. They are also low pressure about cost/treatment, and give you choices, which is appreciated. The doc pet our dogs through the entire visit which alleviated anxiety in my dog that has terrible white coat syndrome. I highly recommend this office.
