Services
Wellness Exams
Annual physical exams focus on preventive care through vaccinations, parasite screening, and heartworm testing. Our veterinarian develops customized wellness plans tailored to your pet's age and lifestyle. Early detection of health issues ensures better treatment outcomes for long-term vitality.
Surgery
We perform spay/neuter procedures, lump removals, and emergency surgeries with strict safety protocols. Pre-anesthetic blood testing and constant monitoring ensure patient safety during operations. Post-operative care instructions guide owners through recovery processes at home.
Boarding
Our Inn @ TVH provides spacious dog kennels with outdoor playtime and separate quiet areas for cats. We accommodate special diets with owner-provided food. Weight-based pricing ensures fair rates for all pet sizes while maintaining personalized attention from our staff.
Dentistry
Professional cleanings remove plaque buildup while dental polishing prevents future tartar accumulation. We perform extractions and minor oral surgeries to address periodontal disease. Regular dental maintenance prevents systemic health issues from oral infections.
Radiology
Digital radiography enables immediate imaging to diagnose fractures, foreign objects, and internal conditions. This technology provides faster diagnosis without compromising image quality, allowing prompt treatment decisions for urgent cases like intestinal blockages or respiratory issues.

Dr. Woodham explains everything to you and is very very knowledgeable. He and his staff even offered to keep my dog while i work (i think they just wanted more time with her lol). The receptionists were super nice and all swarmed my puppy as soon as we came in. I have found a lifelong veterinarian!!
