Wellness Exams
Routine veterinary examinations help maintain optimal pet health through early disease detection and preventive care strategies. Our comprehensive wellness exams include physical assessments, vaccination updates, and personalized health recommendations tailored to your pet's age and lifestyle. Regular checkups enable us to establish baseline health metrics and identify potential concerns before they become serious medical issues.
Vaccinations
Customized vaccination protocols protect pets against common infectious diseases while following current veterinary medical guidelines. We provide core vaccines for puppies/kittens and adult pets, along with lifestyle-appropriate non-core vaccines. Our team educates owners about vaccine schedules and maintains detailed immunization records to ensure continuous protection throughout your pet's life.
Dental Care
Complete dental services address periodontal disease prevention, oral surgery, and teeth cleaning under anesthesia. Digital dental X-rays help diagnose hidden oral health issues while professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup. Our dental care emphasizes long-term oral health to prevent systemic infections that can affect major organ systems.
Emergency Care
Veterinary emergency services address acute injuries, sudden illnesses, and life-threatening conditions during regular business hours. Our team prioritizes critical cases and provides immediate stabilization for pets experiencing trauma, poisoning, or severe symptoms. Emergency care includes diagnostic testing, pain management, and follow-up treatment planning.
Surgery
Soft tissue and orthopedic surgical procedures treat injuries, congenital conditions, and disease-related health problems. We perform spays/neuters, tumor removals, dental surgeries, and TPLO procedures using modern anesthetic protocols and post-operative care plans. Surgical patients receive continuous monitoring and pain management throughout their recovery process.

I booked an appointment for 330, apparently they moved the appointment without telling me or provided me the wrong time. When I arrived they had filled my slot with someone else and had no acceptable solution or timeframe. Only book here if you don't value your time!

Everybody here is so caring and so loving. They gave my baby the best care that a fur mommy could ask for.......
Update...I just tried to make an appointment for the same cat I just took him to and they said they had no record of him. The woman was rude to me and hung up while I was still speaking. It was a much different experience, not pleasant at all.

The manager of this fine establishment is rude to staff and customers alike. In my opinion the manager also shows a clear bias(I'd go so far as to say discrimination)when hiring. Favoring white females over any other race/gender. The rest of the staff are always friendly and ready to help. It's a shame the manager is the living caricature of a stereotypical "boomer."

I had to take my 8 year old dog in afterhours because it was having a hard time breathing. The vet was vet good and with xray and untrasound found that she had a heart arrhythmia. The vet gave her some medications to help her. After a few days her breathing was much better. The staff was wonderful and knowledgeable.
