Pet Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services protect against oral disease while safeguarding overall pet health. Our offerings include routine cleanings, digital dental radiology, and surgical treatments for tooth fractures or advanced dental issues. Regular dental examinations help prevent systemic infections that can affect vital organs. Professional care ensures pets maintain healthy teeth and gums throughout their lives.
Surgical Procedures
We perform various soft tissue surgeries using state-of-the-art equipment in a stress-free environment. Our procedures include eye, ear, throat, and lung surgeries with thorough pre-operative exams and continuous patient monitoring. Skilled veterinarians prioritize patient comfort and recovery through attentive post-operative care. Surgical interventions address both emergency and chronic medical conditions affecting companion animals.
Emergency Pet Care
Emergency services handle urgent medical conditions during regular business hours. For after-hours care, we provide referrals to specialized emergency facilities with contact information. Our team assesses critical cases promptly while stabilizing patients before specialty care transfer. Treatment focuses on immediate injuries, severe illnesses, and life-threatening conditions requiring rapid intervention.
Preventive Care
Regular wellness exams detect hidden health issues through comprehensive physical examinations. We identify heart murmurs, tumors, cataracts, and ear/dental problems before symptoms appear. Vaccination programs protect against common infectious diseases while parasite prevention safeguards pet health. Customized care plans consider age, lifestyle, and breed-specific health risks.
Diagnostic Imaging
Advanced diagnostic tools include digital radiology for detailed internal organ visualization. Our on-site laboratory enables rapid testing for accurate condition diagnosis. Imaging helps identify injuries, tumors, and organ abnormalities requiring medical or surgical treatment. Technological capabilities support precise assessments of complex medical cases affecting pets.

Very long wait times, phone is usually busy. Every time we have been in they have recommended expensive up-charges because our dog is apparently always dying of something probably. Overpriced and they don't approve prescriptions to external pharmacies that sell the meds cheaper than their in house. Definitely not going back at this point.

They are handling all appointments with appropriate COVID-19 safety precautions. You arrive for your appointment, text the number listed on the sign, they come out masked to get your pet, the doctor calls you during her exam. The payment is rung up by the receptionist over the phone.
