Services
Preventative Care
Our preventative care programs emphasize early disease detection through annual or semi-annual wellness exams. Services include vaccinations following AAHA/AAFP guidelines, parasite control, and microchipping. Tailored wellness plans address age-specific needs for puppies, kittens, adult pets, and seniors, ensuring comprehensive health maintenance.
Diagnostic Testing
We offer in-house diagnostics for immediate results, including bloodwork, urinalysis, and parasite testing. Advanced imaging like digital X-rays and ultrasounds enables precise diagnosis of internal conditions. Our on-site lab facilities reduce wait times, allowing faster treatment initiation for critical cases.
Veterinary Surgery
Our surgical services range from routine spay/neuter procedures to complex interventions. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and continuous patient monitoring ensure safety. Post-operative pain management plans and endoscopic capabilities support recovery, with referrals for specialized orthopedic or neurosurgical cases.
Pet Dental Services
We provide comprehensive dental care including professional cleanings, extractions, and oral health assessments. Annual dental cleanings under anesthesia remove plaque and tartar, while at-home care guidance prevents periodontal disease. Early intervention addresses dental pain and systemic infection risks.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy offers non-invasive pain management for injuries, arthritis, and post-surgical recovery. This treatment accelerates tissue repair through photon absorption, reducing inflammation and promoting healing. Most pets experience immediate comfort improvements during pain-free, drug-free sessions.

This place is unbelievable. They did NOT give my dog a complete groom and charged me more than was quoted. I was told that my little 16 pound dog was too difficult to handle and so they only partially groomed her and yet charged me extra for the trouble. I would like everyone to know that is is unacceptable - maybe the little funky bandana makes it all better? Her nails were not trimmed-her tail was too long. The things I specifically asked for were ignored. RUN DO YOU WALK AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

I was quoted $66.00 for the groom. They charged me addition money because they said my dog was difficult. When I saw the job they did I had to insist we go back and the cut needed to be better.. At the end of the day, your quote IS WHAT SHOULD BE CHARGED. The cut should be a good job. Neither was done. I would never go back. Poor groom and overcharge AND almost 4 hours. Run don't walk...away

I get my dogs nails cut here every month. They must be good because she's not afraid to go in at all!

Hands down the best grooming place I've been to. Not only because of the great, patient and thorough job done by the groomer Michelle but also because of the amazing all-round service and care provided by everyone in the office, especially Katie.

I am convinced they do the best job on my dog. When I have gone elsewhere, I am inevitably disappointed. That wont happen again!
