Wellness Exams
Regular wellness exams help maintain pet health through early disease detection. Our comprehensive nose-to-tail examinations assess body condition, organ systems, and skin health. Veterinarians create personalized care plans based on age, breed, and lifestyle factors. Annual exams include vaccination reviews and parasite prevention recommendations.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings prevent periodontal disease through ultrasonic scaling and polishing. We perform digital dental radiography to assess tooth root health. Treatment plans address tartar buildup, gum disease, and dental extractions when necessary. Home care guidance includes brushing techniques and dental diet recommendations.
Pet Boarding
Our supervised pet hotel offers comfortable accommodations with regular exercise and personalized attention. Boarding includes access to veterinary care, multiple daily feedings, and medication administration. Special amenities include playtime sessions, email updates, and on-site grooming services. Reservations are recommended for holidays and peak seasons.
Surgical Services
We perform spays, neuters, and soft tissue surgeries using advanced anesthetic monitoring. Preoperative consultations include detailed procedure explanations and recovery plans. Postoperative care involves pain management and follow-up examinations. Our surgical suite maintains strict sterilization protocols for patient safety.
Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy reduces pain and inflammation without medication side effects. Treatments benefit pets with arthritis, soft tissue injuries, and post-surgical recovery. Sessions last 15-30 minutes with no sedation required. Most pets show improved mobility within 24 hours of treatment.

Revised to four stars as Sheabel price manager responsive to my spouse this morning. Would still caution that up charging seems to be the business model. But dogs well cared for.

Brought my two dogs who receive regular health care to board for four nights. We knew the younger one needed her annual bordatella so we took her to her vet to have her appropriate vaccinations for usual boarding. In addition to the $400 for five days/four nights stay (charged by the day, not the night) we were charged $335 for "vet care" which included $25 per dog insurance against boarding related illness

I brought my dog here for a wellness exam. The staff were safe, friendly and open to my questions and concerns. The Vet came out quickly and briefly explained what she recommends for treatment for my dog (has allergies). The prescription worked and I will assume, from my experience, that they know what they are doing. With that being said, as a pet owner, you need to advocate for not only your pet but for yourself. Ask for a written prescription before purchasing the prescription at the vet. You will save money! Many people feel bullied and taken advantage of by vet clinics. At the end of the day

Best vet ever got my dog in same day a few hours later even during the pandemic. The vet herself came to my car and explained everything and went above and beyond to take care of the problem and address other things! Highly recommended!

This place is a joke. They can't even neuter a cat successfully. They opened my cat up TWO TIMES before getting all of her ovaries out.. not to mention charged $77 in tax for a $60 bill. If you want to be ripped off for multiple unsuccessful EASY surgeries go here. If you read this, this is by far THE WORST VETARARIAN CLINIC I'VE EVER BEEN TO IN MY LIFE.. and I've had animals for over 10 years.

My main man Boone had a worrisome stomach condition over the weekend, so I wanted to get him checked out asap Monday. As always, Sheabel was very responsive and gave me an appointment within a half hour of my call. That's great service when you're worried about your pet! Turns out, nothing too serious, and my peace of mind is back to peaceful.
