Pet Dentistry
Our veterinary dental services include comprehensive oral examinations, teeth cleaning with polishing, digital radiography, extractions, and minor oral surgery. We emphasize preventive care to avoid periodontal disease while providing treatment for existing conditions. Our team educates owners on home care routines and uses advanced equipment to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning for both routine and complex dental cases.
Equine Wellness
We provide complete equine preventive care including vaccinations tailored to individual risk factors, deworming protocols, Coggins testing, and dental floats. Our wellness programs address nutritional needs, lameness prevention, and geriatric care. Veterinarians perform thorough physical exams and develop customized health plans while offering on-farm services for routine and emergency equine medical conditions.
In-House Laboratory
Our on-site diagnostic facility offers complete bloodwork analysis, urinalysis, parasite testing, and cytology. The lab supports rapid diagnosis through serum chemistry panels, hematology profiles, and infectious disease screening. For specialized testing, we partner with reference laboratories to ensure comprehensive diagnostic capabilities that enable timely treatment decisions and monitoring of chronic conditions.
Microchipping
We implant ISO-standard microchips between pets' shoulder blades for permanent identification. The quick procedure provides lifelong security through registered contact information. Our staff assists with database enrollment and updates, ensuring lost pets can be quickly reunited with owners. We also scan found animals and help update existing chip information for clients changing addresses or phone numbers.

This place actually cares about your pet and not just a fat wallet. They absolutely love my dogs, they treat them like their own pets. my dogs aren't scared or freaked out when I pick them up either. I will continue to drive from Burbank to let this place take care of my animals they truly are better than any place I've been in the Tri-cities!

I brought my puppy in to get spayed and didn’t know exactly what to expect, specially with COVID. Everyone at Mill Creek Vet Hospital was patient and explained how everything would happen. I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy in their hands. After the surgery, they were great with aftercare and made sure I had everything I needed. Definitely my go to for anything pet related from now on!
