Services
Bloodwork
Our in-house diagnostic lab performs complete blood analysis for pets. Blood tests detect conditions like anemia, infections, and organ dysfunction. We provide rapid results for timely treatment decisions while maintaining comfort through minimal sample collection.
Dental Care
Annual dental cleanings prevent periodontal disease in pets. Our technicians remove plaque and tartar above and below gum lines. We treat dental pain while educating owners on home care techniques to maintain oral health between professional cleanings.
Euthanasia
Compassionate euthanasia services available with private consultation rooms. We guide owners through decision-making about pet comfort and aftercare options. Sedation ensures peaceful passing while respecting emotional needs during difficult moments.
Vaccinations
Core vaccines protect against rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. We administer booster shots according to AAHA guidelines while monitoring for adverse reactions. Our staff explains vaccine benefits and addresses owner concerns about pet immunity.
Wellness Exams
Annual physical exams detect early disease signs in pets. We assess weight, dental health, and organ function while discussing nutrition and exercise. These preventive visits establish health baselines and identify age-related concerns in senior animals.

Very good practice with great caring staff and doctor. They even suggest how to save money such as buying routine meds like flea, tick and heartworm on line and even a cheaper alternate for neutering, if we felt comfortable. Our last collie had to go to ER vet and ended up not making it, and Deer Creek was nice enough to call us and ask about him and if everyone was ok. That meant a lot at the time.

My little girl had a uterine infection found on her spay. They saved her! Quite an emotional experience. With me being handicapped, they were so kind and gentle with both myself and my baby girl, Grace. They followed up with phone call to check on our needs or wants. Love this place and thank you
