Services
Vaccines and Immunizations
We provide essential core and lifestyle-specific vaccinations for puppies, kittens, and adult pets to prevent serious diseases. Our team creates customized immunization schedules based on species, age, and environmental factors while explaining each vaccine's purpose and benefits. Patients receive protection against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and other preventable illnesses through safe, effective formulations.
Parasite Prevention
Our clinic offers year-round parasite prevention solutions including oral and topical treatments for fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites. We educate owners on species-specific risks while providing diagnostic testing for existing infestations. Treatment plans address both external and internal parasites through safe, veterinarian-approved medications that protect pets and prevent zoonotic transmission.
Pet Dental Care
We perform comprehensive dental examinations and cleanings under general anesthesia to maintain oral health. Services include digital dental radiography, tartar removal, periodontal disease treatment, and home care instruction. Early intervention prevents tooth loss, oral pain, and systemic complications while maintaining fresh breath and proper nutrition for pets at all life stages.
Exotic Pet Care
Our veterinarians provide specialized care for birds, reptiles, and small mammals including nutritional guidance, habitat recommendations, and species-specific wellness exams. We offer diagnostic testing, surgical interventions, and dental care for exotic species while educating owners about proper husbandry requirements to ensure optimal health and longevity for unconventional companion animals.
Emergency Care
We treat critical conditions including trauma, poisoning, respiratory distress, and severe infections during regular business hours. Our clinic maintains life-support equipment and emergency medications while offering triage assessment and stabilization for pets experiencing acute medical crises. Client education focuses on recognizing emergency symptoms and prompt intervention to improve outcomes for urgent care cases.

My little guy cracked his nail at the nail bed and was in pain and limping. They got me in the same day, even cut their lunch hour short so he could be seen before the weekend. They fixed his nail, gave him meds, and explained everything thoroughly. I was a bit embarrassed to go in, as he hadnt been seen by a vet since we had him (Covid). They made me, and my little gentleman feel completely comfortable. As they were tending to us, they were also going above and beyond to make accommodations for a timid pup being seen. Everyone was incredibly kind, and flexible with my schedule. They made

We have been taking our pets to M.V.C. for 20+ years, and would not think of going anywhere else. They clearly care about their four legged patients, and have helped us through the enjoyment and pain that comes with having pets. They are a great group of people.
