Vaccines
We provide essential vaccinations including rabies, distemper, bordetella, lepto, and leukemia vaccines. Our veterinary team helps determine appropriate vaccine choices based on each pet's lifestyle and exposure risks. These preventive measures protect against common infectious diseases in companion animals.
Microchipping
Our microchipping service offers permanent identification for pets through safe implantation and registration. We also scan existing chips to verify current contact information. This service ensures lost pets can be quickly reunited with their owners through veterinary clinics and shelters.

We offer customized annual wellness packages for pets at different life stages, including puppies, kittens, and senior animals. These plans include preventive care services and can be paid through convenient monthly installments. Our programs help maintain optimal health through regular veterinary checkups and screenings.

Our emergency veterinarian has nearly a decade of specialized experience managing critical cases in various animal species.

Dr Hugh is the most genuine and caring vet we've ever met. They really care about you and your pets and will even take after hours calls if need be
Don't go anywhere else, especially forever vets. I had a fading foster baby and they charged me a "walk in fee" like $60 in addition to the visit.

My dog was imported from Europe and came microchipped and my wife didnt know that when she took the dog for the anual checkup at this clinic, besides a bunch of tests the vet suggested to do for the sake of making more money, he said we should microchip her and my wife unknowing the dog already had a chip, agreed. They didnt not scan her to check if she had one or not and went ahead with the second micro ship! SO UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! MONEY KS WHAT THEY WANT!!! BE AWARE!!!

I cannot find the words to express my gratitude towards Dr Hugh & his staff for their kindness and compassion shown towards me and my 13 year old Maltese. They helped me make the best decision for my dog and made sure I was comforted throughout the process. They are hands down the best vet office I have experienced and I cannot recommend them more to anyone that is looking for a vet that genuinely cares about your pets!

Love this vet! My cats love the Dr. He is really kind and gentle with them. He gets down on the floor to exam and visit with them. It makes it so much less stressful for them.
