Urgent Care
Our urgent care services provide prompt treatment for non-critical pet health issues with same-day appointments. We handle symptoms like vomiting, difficulty breathing, injuries, and allergic reactions while minimizing wait times and stress for pets and owners. Our experienced team ensures quick diagnosis and treatment initiation to prevent minor issues from escalating.
Wellness Exams
Comprehensive wellness exams focus on early disease detection and preventative care. Our veterinarians conduct thorough physical exams, discuss health concerns, and create customized vaccination and parasite prevention plans. We emphasize regular check-ups to establish health baselines, monitor changes, and provide age-specific care for puppies, adult pets, and seniors.
Soft-Tissue Surgery
Advanced soft-tissue surgical services address organ and tissue conditions requiring procedures like tumor removals, bladder stone extractions, and gastrointestinal surgeries. We provide pre-surgical evaluations, modern anesthesia protocols, and post-operative care with pain management. Our state-of-the-art facilities support complex procedures while maintaining patient comfort and safety throughout recovery.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental care prevents and treats oral health issues affecting pets' overall wellbeing. Services include professional cleanings, digital X-rays, periodontal treatment, and tooth extractions. We educate owners on home care techniques while addressing dental pain, infections, and systemic health risks associated with poor oral hygiene through regular examinations and interventions.
In-House Diagnostics
Our in-house diagnostic laboratory provides rapid blood work, urinalysis, and fecal testing alongside digital X-ray capabilities. This allows immediate health assessments for sick pets, pre-surgical screenings, and chronic condition monitoring without outsourcing delays. Advanced imaging and lab analysis support accurate diagnoses and timely treatment decisions for improved patient outcomes.

I came here for over 13 years, have had good experiences overall with the vets. Had enough negative experiences lately I'm moving on and adjusting my review.

Family vet for years, even when I moved briefly I drove 3 hours to go to them rather than switch vets for a year. They're wonderful.

Friendliest service I have ever received from a vet. They squeezed me in for an appointment the day of because they were concerned about my cat. The vet gave me his personal number to contact anytime and they continued to call and text to check in on us days after our appointment. They really care here! And the prices were absolutely reasonable. Thanks Village Veterinary Clinic!

Staff is very attentive to my and my dog's needs. They are very pleasant to talk to and great at customer service. It's hard not to notice how much they love working with four legged furry ones. Love Dr. Kim and staff at the counter. One star is taken off because I feel like at my last visit, I felt a little bit rushed, which I dislike about doctor's office visit, but they seemed busy.
