OUR
SERVICES

WELLNESS EXAMS

 

Annual wellness exams play a critical role in making sure your pet lives a long, healthy life! Older patients and patients with certain medical conditions may benefit from more frequent exams.

MICROCHIPPING

 

Approximately 6.5 million pets enter the US shelter system each year. Microchipping your pet greatly increases the chance that you will be reunited with your fur baby in the event they go missing!

VACCINATIONS

 

We provide a customized, comprehensive vaccination plan for each patient based on age, previous vaccine history, and lifestyle.

GENERAL SURGERY

 

From spay and neuter surgeries to tumor removals, eye surgery, and more, we are able to perform a wide range of surgical procedures to help your pet get on the road to recovery!

IN-HOUSE DIAGNOSTICS

 

We have a full suite of state-of-the-art in-house diagnostic equipment, including serum chemistry, complete blood count, and fully automated urine analyzers.

ADVANCED SURGERY

 

For orthopedic surgeries and other more complicated procedures, we work with a local board certified veterinary surgeon to provide in-house advanced surgical services.

DENTAL CARE

 

Proper dental care is one of the most effective ways to increase the life span and quality of life of our pets. In fact, timely dental care has shown to increase a pet's lifespan by 10-20%!

HEARTWORM & FLEA/TICK PREVENTION

​

Heartworm disease is incredibly common in our area, and treatment is both harsh on the body and expensive. Heartworm disease also causes long-lasting, irreversible damage to the heart and lungs.

​

Flea and tick prevention is just as important. Ticks are especially dangerous and can transmit debilitating diseases such as Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, and Anaplasmosis.
