Vaccinations
Core and non-core vaccinations protect pets from infectious diseases. Our veterinarians recommend tailored schedules based on age, lifestyle, and local regulations. Rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia vaccines ensure community-wide disease prevention through herd immunity.
Dental Care
Professional cleanings remove plaque/tartar buildup while digital X-rays detect hidden dental issues. We treat gingivitis, tooth extractions, and oral infections. Home care guidance prevents future periodontal disease affecting systemic health.
Wellness Exams
Annual nose-to-tail physicals identify early disease signs. Comprehensive assessments include weight management, joint mobility tests, and organ function evaluations. Puppies/kittens receive developmental monitoring and deworming protocols.
Diagnostic Testing
In-house bloodwork, urinalysis, and fecal exams provide rapid results for organ function and infection detection. Digital X-rays and ultrasound referrals enable advanced internal organ evaluation for accurate diagnoses.
Surgical Services
Spay/neuter procedures, mass removals, and dental surgeries performed with modern anesthetic monitoring. Pre-op bloodwork ensures surgical safety while post-op care instructions promote smooth recoveries at home.

Puppies require a series of FVRCP, distemper, and rabies vaccines starting at 8 weeks, with boosters every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks old.
How often should my pet have dental cleanings?
Annual professional cleanings are recommended, with home brushing 2-3 times weekly to prevent periodontal disease affecting organ health.
Do you offer after-hours emergency care?
We provide standard care during posted hours but can refer urgent cases to local 24-hour emergency clinics when needed.
What flea prevention methods work best?
Monthly topical or oral medications combined with environmental control (vacuuming, yard treatment) provide comprehensive flea protection year-round.
How to prepare for senior pet care?
Biannual checkups with bloodwork monitoring help detect early signs of kidney disease, diabetes, or arthritis common in aging pets.
Can you help with pet anxiety during visits?
We use calming techniques, pheromone diffusers, and gentle handling. Requesting early morning appointments can reduce stress for sensitive pets.

Dr. Newell is excellent in her field, she is knowledgeable and passionate about horses. We appreciate her dedication to helping us before, during, and after the breeding seasons. I highly recommend her for all reproduction related services, she has been the most accurate with scans for our mares as well.

There are not enough words to say how much I love Dr. Vickie Newell and her veterinary practice! First of all, she is definitely not in this for the money! I have had previous vets in other states and Wow...talk about "sticker shock"! They would charge for every little thing, every question it seemed! Then, they would add on the barn call trip fee, as an '"added bonus" :-)!!
Dr. Newell is not only smart and excellent at what she does, she also makes sure to give you all of your options financially. There are numerous routes to take in the medical world, and she kindly goes over many of them that
