Services
Veterinary Medical Services
We deliver comprehensive medical care for pets, encompassing internal medicine, dermatology, and surgical treatments. Our services include diagnostics for chronic conditions like diabetes and respiratory diseases, alongside preventive care such as vaccinations. With advanced equipment and experienced veterinarians, we address complex health issues while emphasizing early detection through biannual wellness exams to ensure pets' long-term health.
Diagnostic Testing
Our in-house lab and digital imaging technologies enable rapid diagnosis of infections, organ function, and heartworm status. Services include bloodwork, urinalysis, and ultrasound to identify issues like kidney disease or intestinal parasites. Partnering with universities for specialized tests, we ensure accurate results and immediate treatment planning, minimizing wait times for pet owners during critical health events.
Spay and Neuter
We perform spay and neuter surgeries to prevent overpopulation and improve pets' health. Procedures include pre-anesthetic exams, monitoring during surgery, and post-operative laser therapy for pain management. Benefits include reduced cancer risks and behavioral improvements. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure safe recovery for dogs and cats.
Pet Boarding
Our climate-controlled boarding facilities offer safe stays for dogs, cats, and exotics with personalized care. Dogs enjoy private runs and outdoor playtimes, while cats reside in sunny condo spaces. Services include medication administration, special diet accommodations, and add-ons like extra play sessions. All pets require up-to-date vaccinations to maintain a healthy environment for every guest.
Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses light energy to reduce pain and inflammation in pets with arthritis or post-surgery recovery needs. Sessions stimulate cellular repair, accelerating healing without medication. Effective for wounds, dental procedures, and chronic conditions, laser therapy offers a drug-free alternative to improve mobility and comfort, often showing results within hours of treatment.

They were really nice, the place was really clean, and I had a 10 o'clock appointment and they got me in at 10:05. It was amazing. We are new to Knoxville, and e are so lucky to have found such a great place to take our two cats to.

I brought my cat last week because she was sick. Dr. Lori and her assistant treated her and I with the highest respect. Very thorough and kind with examinations and diagnosis. My baby girl deserves the best. Bring your pets here folks.

They are really caring professional. I love that they run a program to place pets with seniors and take donations of food to feed the pets for seniors. What a wonderful program.
