Emergency Care
Our 24/7 emergency veterinary service provides immediate care for critical conditions including trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses. Trained professionals use advanced diagnostics to stabilize patients while maintaining clear communication with pet owners. The facility maintains specialized equipment for life-saving interventions and critical monitoring.
Dental Services
Comprehensive dental care prevents and treats oral diseases through cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatments. Digital radiography identifies hidden issues while anesthesia protocols ensure patient safety. Regular dental exams help prevent systemic health complications from oral bacteria entering the bloodstream.
Surgical Procedures
We perform soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries using modern techniques and monitoring equipment. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures surgical safety while post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring. Common procedures include spays/neuters, mass removals, and trauma repairs.
Diagnostic Testing
In-house lab capabilities and imaging technologies enable rapid diagnosis of internal conditions. Services include bloodwork, urinalysis, digital radiography, ultrasound, and electrocardiography. These tools help identify organ dysfunction, structural abnormalities, and systemic diseases.
Wellness Exams
Routine checkups detect early health issues through physical examinations and age-appropriate screening tests. Vaccination programs protect against infectious diseases while parasite prevention strategies address regional risks. These visits establish baseline health metrics for better long-term management.

You don't want your dog dead or hurt!!! They Lost our trust!!!!!!! PLEASE READ
I have an older dog with a serious yet treatable condition. We made an action medical plan with Dr. LILI and they disregarded it WITHOUT CALLING ABOUT THE CHANGE. Our senior dog received a serious shot that would make it very difficult to walk, the action plan was: he would get his first vaccine he stay the night and then pick him up next day: and in 30 days he would get another vaccine and the stay another night and then 24 hours later he would get another and then stay again to be observed. After starting the process

Todays visit earns Zero Stars. I have been faithfully visiting lily vet for several years with my three pets needs. Todays appointment was a follow up for one of my dogs. Nothing significant, foot bandage removal, checking foot status for infection and get some annual booster shots. We sat in the lobby 25 minutes past the start time for my pets appointment waiting to be placed into a staging room. While there we watched other pets get placed into rooms for their appointments; for people who arrived after we did. There were also open clean rooms available. When I finally inquired about our

I have so many great things to say about this vet clinic. Firstly; I was panicked and needed emergency services because my pet was very ill after getting them from the ADL, and they took us in last minute and provided the best care and saved my baby! We continued going there since for all her regular care and theyve been just amazing. Theyre also affordable. Rest assured your animals can be trusted in their hands, whether its for vet care, routine, grooming etc. wish I could take them with me when we move
