Services
Wellness Exams
Personalized wellness exams monitor pet health through physical assessments, vaccinations, and parasite prevention. Tailored plans address age-specific needs for puppies, adults, and seniors. Early detection of conditions like diabetes or kidney disease ensures timely intervention.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include cleanings, digital X-rays, and extractions under anesthesia. Treatment prevents periodontal disease that can impact heart and kidney health. Post-op care includes pain management and home hygiene guidance.
Surgery
Soft tissue surgeries like spays, neuters, and mass removalals prioritize safety with pre-op bloodwork and continuous monitoring. Advanced techniques minimize recovery time while managing pain through multimodal protocols for optimal healing.
Health Certificates
USDA-certified health certificates facilitate domestic and international pet travel. Services include microchipping and documentation meeting destination-specific requirements for entry compliance and pet safety during relocation.
Laser Therapy
Non-invasive laser treatments reduce inflammation and accelerate healing for post-surgical recovery or chronic conditions like arthritis. Sessions provide drug-free pain relief through targeted light energy stimulating cellular regeneration in affected tissues.

The staff of this office made our first trip to the vet a great experience. Pets only are allowed in the office at this time, and as a pet owner of a shy girl, I was initially unsure of how things may go. Once Lulu was happily returned to me with a wagging tail, my heart smiled and I knew Lulu had been well cared for. I highly recommend Mixed Pet for your pet(s)!!! Dr. Schoolmeester and Jayme were excellent to work with!!

My new puppy Hestia and I have had a great experience here. They're always kind, professional, and responsive. They really take the time to make sure you understand what's going on and what/why the treatments are being done. I love the detailed explanation and puppy care advice I got on my first visit. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Just had a great first experience at the Mixed Pet Vet Clinic. The Doctor, nurses, and front desk staff were very kind, professional, and took the time to explain everything to me. Aspen, my dog, came out of there happy and excited! I will definitely be coming back!

We have seen and enjoyed both Dr. schoolmeester and Dr. Keb for about 18 years now and have always been extremely happy and welcomed at each visit. The rest of the staff remains consistent and very thankful for all of your help over the years keeping our furbabies healthy and happy. We are always satisfied with the service and care they provide us.
