Veterinary Care

Our comprehensive veterinary care includes wellness exams, vaccinations, and preventative treatments to maintain optimal pet health. Experienced doctors perform thorough nose-to-tail evaluations, identifying potential issues before they become serious. We emphasize early detection through regular checkups tailored to each pet's age and medical history while providing nutritional counseling and parasite prevention programs.

Surgical Procedures

We offer both routine and advanced surgical treatments using modern anesthetic protocols and monitoring equipment. Our surgical capabilities include soft tissue operations, orthopedic repairs like ACL reconstruction, dental procedures, and mass removals. Patients receive careful pre-operative assessments and dedicated post-operative care to ensure safe recovery and pain management.

Urgent Care

Daytime urgent care services address pet emergencies Monday through Saturday. Our trained staff handles injuries, sudden illnesses, and acute medical conditions during operating hours. For after-hours emergencies, we maintain referral relationships with local 24-hour veterinary hospitals while providing follow-up care for stabilized patients.

Pet Boarding

Secure boarding facilities offer separate accommodations for cats and dogs with temperature-controlled environments. Pets receive individual attention, medication administration without extra fees, and immediate veterinary care if needed. We require current vaccinations and recommend advance reservations during peak periods to guarantee availability.

Pet Grooming

Professional grooming services include bathing, coat trimming, nail clipping, and de-shedding treatments. Our experienced groomers handle various breeds while checking for skin issues or parasites during sessions. We recommend regular grooming to maintain coat health, prevent matting, and identify potential skin conditions early.

We've been bringing our pets to Acredale since they took over Dr. Vaughan's practice in Great Bridge. It's always been a good experience. We sure do miss Dr. Alex though! The staff is great - especially Kara, one of the technicians. Other than annual exams/shots, I bring my fiesty kitties in regularly to have their nails trimmed which is no easy task. She is quick and gets them trimmed while I hold them. Using the store room rather than an exam room works like a charm....no other animal scents in there for them to freak out over!
Kudos Kara.....
