We provide flea, tick, and deworming medications alongside nutritional consultations to ensure proactive care. Regular assessments help identify potential issues before they become serious health concerns.
Diagnostics
We offer comprehensive diagnostic capabilities including digital X-rays, ultrasound, and in-house lab testing for blood, urine, and fecal samples. Advanced tools like ECG monitoring and ophthalmic testing support accurate diagnoses. Specialized tests are sent to certified laboratories for precise results.

Our surgical services range from routine spays/neuters to complex procedures like mass removals and dental treatments. Modern monitoring equipment ensures patient safety during general anesthesia. We handle wound repairs and refer specialized cases to board-certified veterinary surgeons when needed.

They were so compassionate when we had to have our cat put down. When we took our new pup for her 2nd visit they were equally as good. Their covid protocols are very good as well.

5:30pm I noted dog had broken skin on abdomen. Appt. by 7:00pm. Dog stitched and sent home by 8pm. Amanda Curry DVM and tech Kellie were both fully informative and quick to answer questions. I was very happy to get our girl back and in good shape after a fairly serious ordeal. I am grateful for their loving care for one of our family.

I have taken many animals here over the years, and they have always treated them with love and care. I feel safe entrusting my pets in their care. The staff have been through a lot of losses with my aging animals (my oldest was an almost 23 year old cat, spunky and feisty despite his age) and they have always been so compassionate and comforting during those sad moments. I trust them completely here. They all clearly love animals.
