Our wellness care services include comprehensive physical exams, parasite prevention, and nutritional counseling to maintain your pet's health. We assess vital organs, skin, coat, and behavior to detect early signs of illness. Tailored care plans ensure pets receive age-appropriate vaccinations and screenings, promoting long-term well-being through proactive healthcare strategies.
Vaccinations
We administer core and non-core vaccines for dogs and cats, including rabies, DHLPP, FVRCP, and feline leukemia. Vaccination schedules follow state regulations and lifestyle risk assessments. Our team educates owners on vaccine importance for disease prevention, public health, and compliance with boarding/travel requirements, ensuring pets stay protected throughout their lives.
Veterinary Surgery
Our surgical services include spays/neuters, dental procedures, and soft tissue surgeries performed with advanced monitoring equipment. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and pain management protocols ensure patient safety.

We offer in-house lab work, radiography, and specialized tests like heartworm, fecal exams, and feline leukemia screenings. Digital imaging and rapid diagnostic tools enable quick, accurate assessments of internal health. Results guide treatment decisions for conditions ranging from infections to chronic diseases, ensuring timely interventions.

Our boarding facility provides safe, comfortable accommodations for dogs and cats when owners travel. Vaccination requirements ensure a healthy environment. Pets receive individualized attention, regular exercise, and medication administration as needed. Climate-controlled spaces and play areas promote stress-free stays for all boarded animals.

I have been going to this location for several years. At one time I had 4 dogs that would be treated here. Over the last couple years Ive notice a change. Its seems the vet is more geared towards making money then treatment/health of our furry friends. Also this location has gone thru several vets over the years. Just seems impersonal & I feel that your pets best interest is not a priority. Its time cut ties from this location & move on.

Great care. They go the extra mile to care for your pet. Nick was wonderful with my dog, took the time to explain the aftercare of my pet and prevention of other issues she was being seen for. Only downfall was the wait time.

Not enough words to express my gratitude... Because of the staff here my fur baby is alive! I called the ASPCA poison control because my dog found some rat poison. They wanted to charge $65.00 just to continue the call.same with poison control & other vets near by. I called here, not only did she give me free advice, it worked & she saved my fur baby. I cannot express my appreciation enough!! I wish I could remember the lady's name that was on the phone but I'd like to say THANK YOU! You're an Angel!!

Dont bring your sick cats here. The doctors and nurses give false and inaccurate diagnosis, then take your money and send you on your way. I would not recommend bringing your sick cats here unless you truly know the cause and are able to pin it, because the professionals here do not have a better guess than you probably do. Do not come here unless you want to be out of $500 and a dead beloved cat.
