Services
Preventative Medicine
Our preventative medicine program focuses on disease prevention through tailored vaccination schedules and parasite control. Annual wellness exams help detect early signs of illness, while nutrition counseling supports long-term health. This proactive approach minimizes the need for reactive treatments, ensuring pets maintain optimal health throughout their lives.
In-house Radiology
We utilize advanced digital radiology equipment for immediate imaging diagnostics. This technology enables rapid assessment of injuries, joint issues, and internal abnormalities, allowing for quicker diagnosis and treatment planning. High-resolution images help our veterinarians make accurate medical decisions during critical care situations.
Dentistry
Our comprehensive dental services include oral exams, cleaning, polishing, and extractions. Dental radiographs reveal hidden issues beneath the gumline, while preventive care addresses periodontal disease that can impact overall organ health. We prioritize pain management and post-operative care for all dental procedures.
Grooming
Professional grooming services maintain pets' hygiene and comfort, featuring baths, haircuts, and nail trimming. Our groomer specializes in handling nervous pets and offers puppy acclimation packages. Required vaccinations ensure a safe environment for all animals receiving grooming services.
Mobile Ultrasound
We provide access to mobile ultrasound specialists for detailed internal organ imaging. This service offers non-invasive diagnostics for complex cases without requiring pet transport. Board-certified specialists collaborate with our team to interpret results and develop treatment plans.

Report
Do not bring your cats here to get neutered. Last year I got my 8 month year old kitten neutered here and he passed away during his surgery. My kitten was young and healthy. It is super rare that a kitten passes away during a neuter surgery. They clearly did something wrong. They did not even offer to do an autopsy to figure out the reason for his death. They even made me payed to get my kitten cremated even though he passed away under their care. As a vet, wouldn't they want to know what happened? I went there to get my kitten neutered and went home without my baby.

This vet has always been my go-to for my cats and doggo, my family also take their pets here and always have raving reviews. No, it's not cheap, but having a pet comes with a financial responsibility. I'd pay double the price if that meant I could have this team for my pets. They're wonderful, truly the nicest staff all around and so incredibly genuine. I lost my golden a few months back and they were so marvelous to help the process go as smoothly as possible given the circumstances. She was like my child and they understood and respected that so much. They were friendly with my panicked calls

I've been dealing with this vet for about 10yrs now. I don't drive and even when an hr away still found it was worth the drive. Prices are competitive or often lower. Staff is amazing. Appointment wait time is usually within days. And we were able to email for simple follow-ups or questions instead of having to go in. They also faxed prescription that could be to closer locations for us.
