Our anesthesia services include comprehensive pre-surgical evaluations with bloodwork and diagnostics.

Our team ensures safe, controlled anesthesia for surgeries and dental cleanings.

We provide complete dental cleanings under anesthesia, including tartar removal below the gumline and polishing. Digital x-rays help assess dental disease severity, while antibacterial flushes prevent infections. Our focus on oral health helps prevent systemic complications from untreated dental issues.

Report
Dr. Harris saved my dog’s life many years ago. He had swallowed an unknown object and was misdiagnosed by two other veterinarians. I drove two hours, each way, to see Dr. Harris. She did emergency exploratory… surgery and saved his life! He had swallowed a pet finger-tip toothbrush without me knowing. I was able to keep Oscar with me for another 7 years, thanks to Dr. Harris. She is the most wonderful vet!! Thank you for all the extra time I had with Oscar. It meant the world to me! He lived a healthy, happy life until 16 years old and I loved him for every minute of it.

Our Fur baby just came out of emergency surgery with Dr. Harris and I can not say enough about how amazing the staff has been. They fit him in right away and within an hour he was in surgery. The staff is amazing and caring, this is our vet hands down from now on.
