Services
Herd Health Management
Our comprehensive herd health programs prevent disease outbreaks and optimize livestock productivity through regular monitoring and tailored vaccination schedules. We conduct thorough physical exams, implement biosecurity measures, and provide nutritional guidance to maintain herd wellness. Our mobile services allow on-farm assessments that reduce stress for both animals and producers.
Dentistry
We offer specialized dental care for large animals including routine floating, tooth extractions, and oral infection treatments. Our mobile equipment enables on-site diagnosis and treatment of dental issues affecting eating and overall health. Regular dental maintenance improves feed efficiency and prevents systemic infections in livestock.
Nutrition
Customized nutrition plans maximize animal health and productivity through scientific feed analysis and ration balancing. We assess forage quality, recommend supplements, and monitor weight gains to optimize feeding strategies. Our programs address specific needs for different livestock species and production stages.
Reproduction
Our reproductive services include pregnancy diagnosis, breeding soundness exams, and fertility management for dairy and beef operations. We utilize ultrasound technology and hormone monitoring to improve conception rates. Timed breeding programs help producers meet calving schedule targets efficiently.
Vaccination
Custom vaccination protocols protect herds against common infectious diseases through risk assessment and strategic timing. We administer core vaccines while considering production cycles and stress factors. Our programs document vaccine history to maintain compliance with industry standards.

Good vet and nice staff. They caught a medication dosage mistake from a previous different vet and made sure my senior dog was taken care ofl. They are never pushy about treatment but are thorough and professional. I highly recommend.

I can’t say enough about these incredibly kind, caring and compassionate people. At a time when none of the vets were taking new clients, they were there for us when we needed them. They found time that they didn’t have in their busy schedule because our Rita needed help. They provided the best care, explained it and answered our questions. They checked back to see how she was doing. And they were nothing short of amazing when her time came to say good-bye. A true godsend. We could not have done better.
