Emergency Care
Our full-service emergency veterinary care operates during regular business hours for urgent pet medical needs. We handle critical cases including trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses with immediate attention from experienced staff. While not a 24-hour facility, our extended weekday hours ensure timely care for most emergencies.
Dentistry
Comprehensive dental care includes professional cleanings, digital radiography, and periodontal treatment under monitored anesthesia. Our services prevent systemic infections from dental disease while maintaining oral comfort through polishing and extractions when necessary.
Pet Boarding
Secure boarding facilities offer six daily exercise sessions for dogs and quiet accommodations for cats. We require current vaccinations and provide scheduled feedings with options for special dietary needs or medication administration during stays.
Dermatology
Specialized treatment for pet allergies and skin conditions includes diagnostic testing for environmental and food-related triggers. We develop customized management plans using anti-inflammatory medications, dietary adjustments, and immunotherapy when appropriate.
Microchipping
Permanent identification implantation between shoulder blades provides lifelong pet security. Our ISO-compliant microchips work with standard scanners at shelters and clinics to quickly reunite lost pets with owners through registered contact information.

Been taking my dog here for years. Doctor and tech is wonderful. Wendy just answered the phone should not be working with animals. My dog is very very ill, she didn't care one bit. She was beyond rude. In fact Wendy was cruel.

Been taking my dog there for years. Recently my dog was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I called to talk to the vet a couple of days later and they couldn't be bothered to return my call. It's very upsetting & emotional to receive that diagnosis & of course people are going to have questions. I decided to contact a cancer specialist who wanted to speak with the vet ..not only would they not return the call but they were extremely rude to the cancer specialist when she called them. The cancer specialist told me I'm sorry but I would not bother to take my pet back to them..after spending 1500 there

Inconsistent. Unfortunately this veterinarian office has one of the best vets my family has ever experienced and also one of the very worst. One doctor actually provides proper treatment to your animal and explanation of treatment. While the other one sends you home with a trick or treat bag of medication to give your pets knowing youll be back in two months with the same issue. He also will provide no feedback on what treatment he is doing to your animals or cost associated with it. If youre considering this location to be the caregiver to any of your pets I would first validate which
