Services

Pet Wellness Exams

Regular wellness exams evaluate your pet's health through physical exams and diagnostic tests. These checkups detect early signs of disease and establish baseline values for aging pets. Our exams include heartworm testing during warmer months to prevent serious illnesses.

Vaccinations

We provide core and lifestyle-based vaccinations for dogs and cats. Services protect against distemper, rabies, leptospirosis, and feline leukemia. Our team recommends customized vaccine schedules based on your pet's environment and activity level.

Spay & Neuter Surgery

Our surgical sterilization services include pre-anesthetic bloodwork and post-operative care. Spaying prevents reproductive cancers while neutering improves behavior. The process involves pre-surgery consultations, same-day procedures, and follow-up appointments for optimal recovery.

Dentistry

We offer comprehensive dental cleanings and surgical treatments for periodontal disease. Services address 80% prevalence of dental issues in pets under two years old. Treatments prevent systemic infections affecting kidneys, liver, and heart health through early intervention.

Senior Wellness Assessments

Specialized assessments for pets over seven years include bloodwork, urinalysis, and ECG testing. These evaluations detect age-related conditions like diabetes and organ degeneration. The service provides personalized report cards with management strategies for chronic conditions.

Dr. Pittaway and his team are top notch. They are extremely kind. Service prices are a bit on the higher side, but you get what you pay for. Highly recommend.

My review has nothing to do with the Dr. it is all about the reception, I called few times to get my dog in and every single time I call, who ever on the reception answering my calls were rude and unprofessional. They even hang up the phone before completing the call. Sorry about saying that.

A dog I know had a medical emergency and so we called this vet. They began to say that even though the dog was at a VERY HIGH risk, they were fully booked. In my opinion this is EXTREMELY unprofessional considering these situations are what these staff are trained for. Thankfully we found another animal hospital, and the dog was okay. Will not be coming back here.

Dr. Pittaway is incredible, caring and genuine. He provided excellent care for my golden retriever Ben from the time he was a puppy to the day he passed. I cannot thank him enough. The staff are also wonderful.
