Services
Check-ups
Annual physical examinations help maintain pet health through early disease detection. Our veterinarians perform comprehensive head-to-tail assessments, including dental evaluations. Regular check-ups ensure pets receive timely vaccinations and preventive treatments while maintaining detailed health records.
Dentistry
Professional dental cleanings and oral health assessments prevent periodontal disease. We address tooth decay, gum infections, and oral pain through scaling, polishing, and extractions when necessary. Regular dental care contributes to overall pet wellness and longevity.
Radiology
Digital radiography provides immediate diagnostic imaging for internal health issues. This technology helps assess skeletal structures, organ systems, and soft tissue conditions. Accurate imaging supports timely treatment decisions for pets experiencing trauma or chronic symptoms.
Surgery
Soft tissue surgeries and limited orthopedic procedures performed in-house. We handle routine spays/neuters, mass removals, and injury repairs. Complex cases receive specialist referrals while maintaining continuity of care through our network of veterinary experts.
Nutritional Counseling
Customized feeding plans address specific dietary needs and health conditions. We recommend prescription diets for medical management alongside balanced nutrition options. Proper nutrition helps prevent obesity-related issues and supports pets with chronic diseases.

Report
I brought my dog to my local vet where I had to leave my dog at the door and was not allowed in. They claimed that they took X-Rays and examined my dog to say that there was nothing wrong and sent her home with pain meds. I came here to Gibbons for a second opinion who helped carry my dog in from my vehicle, let me come in and be with her during her exam, they showed me the X-Rays that they took and explained everything to me and explained my options. Unfortunately there were multiple large growths attacking her organs and we decided in the best of her well-being and for pain, to put her down.

Very kind and knowledgeable vet. The staff was able to accommodate our "sort-of" emergency by fitting us in that same day! The vet was kind and patient both with me and my dog! Thank you all very much!

We wanted a second opinion on Boots, our 11 year old Border Collie/ Lab cross, who has severe arthritis due to an accident when he was 1 year old. Our regular vet clinic just kept prescribing Metacam and due to COVID I was not allowed in with him. They never showed us his x-rays that were taken and just called to say there is nothing they can do & wanted us to take him to a specialist. We decided to go to the Gibbons Vet Clinic and the service was excellent! The doctor took 6 x- rays and explained everyone of them to me. It was an emergency visit as Boots could not even walk. Not only didn't we

Brought our relatively new-to-us rescue here for vaccine updates and we didn't know how our dog would do with the vet. Our dog wasn't necessarily happy to be there but they were great with him. The dr showed me how to manage a growth myself to avoid future vet costs which was nice. Sure, it's not the newest clinic (old lino, etc.) but it was clean and had that disinfectant-y smell, staff were knowledgeable. Would definitely come back.

Dr. Iqbal and the techs were very rough with my pet and the clinic and exam room weren't very clean at all. Any decent place has one tech or vet in the room at a time to not stress the animal out too much, especially on the first visit. In contrast this clinic had 2 techs and the vet all grabbing at my cat, literally trying to dump him out of his carrier (of which the top half comes off, by the way).
The dental work he did on my cat was okay and the prices were reasonable, but after two visits there I can't get my cat to go into his carrier - never had a problem before - so he's clearly traumatized
