Wellness Exams
Regular wellness exams ensure pets maintain optimal health through preventive care. Our veterinarians conduct comprehensive physical assessments, vaccinations, and parasite screenings tailored to your pet's age and lifestyle. Early detection of potential issues allows for timely intervention, promoting longevity and quality of life while providing owners with actionable health insights.
Surgical Services
We offer general and orthopedic surgical procedures in a state-of-the-art facility with advanced safety protocols. Our team utilizes positive pressure ventilation to minimize infection risks and specialized postoperative care, including heated recovery areas. Each surgery is supported by pre-anesthetic bloodwork and pain management plans to ensure patient comfort and successful outcomes.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services address oral health's critical role in overall pet wellness. We provide professional cleanings, extractions, and treatments for periodontal disease, using digital radiography for accurate diagnosis. Preventive education and Dental Club memberships help owners maintain oral hygiene at home, reducing risks of systemic health complications from untreated dental issues.
Dermatology
Our dermatology services diagnose and treat skin, ear, and allergy-related conditions through advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment plans. Onsite ear cytology and laboratory testing identify underlying causes like infections or food sensitivities. Treatments combine traditional medicine with alternative therapies to alleviate symptoms and improve skin health for long-term comfort.
Senior Care
Tailored senior wellness programs address age-related health challenges through bi-annual exams, bloodwork, and mobility assessments. We manage chronic conditions like arthritis with pain management strategies and lifestyle adjustments. Nutritional counseling and early intervention for cognitive decline help maintain vitality and quality of life for aging pets.

Dropped off a client, Manouche for CCL surgery & picked him up the next day. The surgeon, Dr. Breanne Galloway, was very kind, polite & professional, showing us the X-rays & explaining in detail what she did, what we can expect & how to proceed moving forward. She returns calls if placed & is happy to help with any questions or concerns. The clinic is very clean & tidy & I would definitely recommend this Hospital & it's staff.
