Services
Preventative Medicine
Our preventative medicine programs focus on early detection and proactive care to maintain pets' health. Services include vaccinations, nutritional counseling, and lifestyle assessments tailored to each pet's age and breed. By emphasizing routine checkups and home care education, we help owners avoid costly reactive treatments for conditions like dental disease or joint issues.
Emergency Care
We provide immediate veterinary attention for critical conditions during regular hours. Our trained team handles emergencies like trauma, poisoning, or severe illness with rapid triage and stabilization. Clients are advised to call ahead for urgent cases, ensuring staff preparation while maintaining standard appointment availability for non-life-threatening situations.
Dental Surgery
Comprehensive dental services address both routine and complex oral health needs. Procedures include professional cleanings, extractions, and treatment of periodontal disease. Our preventative approach educates owners on at-home dental care to prolong intervals between professional interventions, reducing long-term risks of systemic infections linked to poor oral health.
Class 4 Laser Therapy
This non-invasive therapy uses light energy to reduce inflammation, manage pain, and accelerate healing. We integrate laser treatments with traditional methods for conditions like arthritis or post-surgical recovery. The technology offers a drug-free option for improving mobility and comfort in pets with chronic conditions or acute injuries.
Senior Wellness
Specialized programs address age-related health challenges in senior pets. Services include advanced diagnostic testing, mobility assessments, and customized nutrition plans. Our focus is on maintaining quality of life through early detection of conditions like kidney disease or cognitive decline, with tailored treatment plans to extend healthy years.

I took my doggie Jasper here for the first time a few days ago. They luckily had a last minute appointment cancel and I was able to get him in the same day. The staff were all very nice and helpful, they took good care of my doggie and the total cost was a lot cheaper than expected! Ill probably come back at some point to have his teeth cleaned as they offer these services.

Ive taken my prior Shih Tzu here for a combined time of almost twenty years and I WILL NOT be going back. There has been turnover of employees and the new ones are immature, unprofessional and sloppy. One tech walked out of the room and slammed the door and could be hearD laughing outside with other techs in the hallway. I mentioned this to Dr Stanek, she just looked at me with no comment. Dr Stanek doesnt give the same care, customer/dog attention as before and appears to not care much either. When they took my dog back to test him for heart or tape worms he was gone for a long time.
