Companion Animal Boarding
Our climate-controlled boarding facilities provide safe, comfortable stays for dogs and cats. Canine guests receive three daily walks and spacious runs, while cats enjoy Shoreline cages with outdoor views. Staff monitors appetite and health, administering medications as needed. All boarding pets require current vaccinations and parasite prevention for safety.
Professional Dental Care
We perform comprehensive dental exams, cleanings, and extractions using modern techniques. Our services prevent periodontal disease that can cause pain, tooth loss, and systemic health issues. Annual cleanings and home care guidance help maintain your pet's oral health, with early intervention for symptoms like bad breath or eating changes.
Digital Radiography
Advanced digital radiography enables rapid, low-radiation imaging of bones and internal organs. This technology supports accurate diagnosis of fractures, arthritis, foreign objects, and heart/lung conditions. Images appear instantly on computer screens, allowing immediate treatment decisions and specialist collaboration.
In-Clinic Diagnostics
Our in-house lab conducts complete blood counts, parasite screenings, and disease tests during sick visits or wellness exams. Quick turnaround times facilitate prompt treatment for conditions like infections or organ dysfunction. Routine bloodwork establishes health baselines for aging pets.
End-of-Life Hospice
We provide compassionate hospice care and humane euthanasia for terminally ill pets. Pain management strategies prioritize comfort during final stages, with guidance for making timely decisions. Our gentle euthanasia process uses anesthesia-like techniques to ensure peaceful passing without distress.

Took both my furbabies today for their first visit with Ramey Vet. We needed to transfer to a vet closer to our home because one of my dogs does not travel well. Ramey Vet was highly recommended by several people. I am now one to highly recommend them. My appointment was at 9:30, for our 2 dogs and I was leaving at 9:55. The staff were so very nice. We made the right choice. Thanks Ramey Vet for loving on my Pitman & Molly

The staff is very nice and helpful. They patiently answer my silly questions, which I really appreciate. My puppy is treated sweetly by all the staff and the prices are not ridiculous.
