Services
Vaccinations
We provide core and elective vaccinations to protect pets against preventable diseases. Our protocol follows AAHA guidelines while considering individual risk factors. Vaccinations help maintain herd immunity and prevent outbreaks in the local pet population.
Dental Care
Our comprehensive dental services include cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Regular dental care prevents systemic infections and maintains overall pet health. We use modern anesthetic protocols for patient safety during procedures.
Digital X-ray
Digital radiography enables rapid, accurate diagnosis of internal conditions. This technology reduces radiation exposure while providing high-resolution images for evaluating skeletal, cardiac, and abdominal issues. Immediate results allow for timely treatment decisions.
Surgical Procedures
We perform routine and complex surgical procedures in our sterile operating suite. Services include spaying/neutering, mass removals, and orthopedic repairs. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and monitoring ensure patient safety during all surgical interventions.
Annual Examinations
Comprehensive physical exams assess pets' overall health and detect early disease signs. These checkups include weight monitoring, dental evaluation, and parasite screening. Regular exams help maintain optimal health through preventive care strategies.

My cat & I were treated badly by Vet. assistant in parking lot after exam. She was gruff & dangerous. She tried to push cat cartier between myself & steering wheel. Not enough space. Car door swung back twice & nearly crushed cat inside the sift case carrier! She did nothing to block door & never apologized. She began to gi e my cat a fatal diagnosis although shes not a VET. Dr. didnt say fatal, but she jad the nerve to tell me it probably was. Horrible office staff here. Stay away
