Services
Veterinary Diagnostic Labs
Our in-house diagnostic laboratory provides rapid blood panels, fecal tests, and urinalysis for immediate results. This equipment enables timely diagnosis and treatment of pet health issues. Our facilities support comprehensive internal medicine evaluations while maintaining strict quality control standards.
Pet Wellness Exams
Regular wellness examinations detect early signs of disease in apparently healthy pets. Our preventive care approach includes vaccination programs, parasite screening, and nutritional counseling. These exams help maintain optimal health through early intervention and customized care plans.
Dentistry
We provide complete dental services including professional cleanings, digital X-rays, and extractions. Our team addresses periodontal disease affecting over 85% of pets over three years old. Treatments include oral pain management and home care education for long-term dental health.
Cat Grooming
Professional cat grooming services include bathing, coat trimming, and nail care performed by experienced technician Lori Beatty. Regular grooming maintains coat health, reduces shedding, and helps detect skin abnormalities early. Our stress-free handling techniques ensure positive grooming experiences.
Ultrasound
Diagnostic ultrasound creates real-time images of internal organs without radiation exposure. Our veterinarians use this technology for abdominal evaluations, detecting conditions like kidney stones and organ abnormalities. Both Dr. McKenzie and Dr. Lindquist have specialized training in ultrasonography for accurate diagnoses.

We had an amazing experience at this veterinary clinic today! The veterinarian performed the most thorough and comprehensive examination on Marlee and spent a great deal of time going over her health history and treatment options with me. The staff were very personable and provided excellent customer service.
