Wellness Exams
Our routine wellness exams provide comprehensive health assessments for dogs and cats. Each visit includes physical evaluations, medical history reviews, and preventive care planning. Early detection of health issues through regular checkups helps maintain optimal pet wellness while allowing owners to discuss nutrition, vaccinations, and behavioral concerns with our veterinary team.
Soft Tissue Surgery
We perform spays, neuters, and soft tissue procedures using modern surgical equipment and monitoring systems. Our surgical services include pre-operative diagnostics, pain management, and post-operative care. Dr. Tufaro and our trained technicians ensure pet safety throughout each procedure while providing clear recovery instructions for pet owners.
Dental Services
Professional dental cleanings and oral exams prevent tooth decay and gum disease in pets. Our dental services include scaling, polishing, extractions when necessary, and home care recommendations. Regular dental maintenance helps avoid systemic health issues while keeping pets comfortable during eating and daily activities.

24/7 emergency services address acute medical conditions requiring immediate attention. Our team handles trauma, poisoning, breathing difficulties, and other critical situations with priority triage. Emergency care includes diagnostics, stabilization, and hospitalization when necessary to ensure pet safety outside regular clinic hours.
Nutritional Counseling
Personalized nutrition plans optimize pet health based on breed, age, and medical conditions. We recommend balanced diets to manage weight, skin issues, and chronic diseases. Our counseling includes food selection guidance, portion control advice, and transition plans to improve overall wellness through proper dietary management.

Report
I was extremely happy with the care we received from Dr. Tufaro and his staff. When our dog was well, they accommodated his special behavioral needs and were very cost conscious about not ordering unnecessary tests. More recently, when he was nearing the end of his life, I couldn't have asked for a more kind and empathetic team to help us navigate this painful time. Thank you so much for everything.

It's just weird.. came back only bc no one could get me in this week. the staff is always nice to me but the vet is a little off.. I have a weenie dog and every time I bring her he looks at her with terror.. and I finally said forget it and brought her some please else for better communication and people skills. I'm not sure who dr. T is who this last person is taking to but dr. Rick b. I'm not even sure why he is a vet. Today I bright my dog in to see if they could help. He literally looked at me with question like he didn't know why I was there in the first place. I do find
