Services
Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams assess pets' overall health through head-to-tail evaluations. These preventive care visits help detect early signs of potential health issues before they become serious. Our veterinarians create customized care plans based on each pet's age, breed, and medical history.
Vaccinations
We provide core and elective vaccinations to protect pets against contagious diseases. Our vaccination protocols follow current veterinary guidelines while considering individual risk factors. Each appointment includes a thorough health examination to ensure pets are fit for immunization.
Dental Care
Our dental services include professional cleanings, extractions, and oral health assessments. Regular dental care prevents periodontal disease that can lead to systemic health issues. We educate owners on home care techniques to maintain optimal oral health between visits.
Surgical Procedures
We perform spays, neuters, lump removals, and wound repairs using modern surgical techniques. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and monitoring equipment ensure patient safety during procedures. Post-operative care instructions help pets recover comfortably at home.
Diagnostic Testing
Our in-house lab and radiology equipment enable rapid diagnostic results for effective treatment planning. We offer bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal exams, and digital imaging services. These tools help identify underlying health conditions affecting pets' well-being.

Just a place to make as much money as possible! Just went in for a routine vaccine for my dog and tried to charge me an extra $178.00 just to put her sleep while they did it! Not going back

These people lie about the prices for vaccinations. I called and asked what the price was for a lepto vaccine and she told me it was around 30$. When it came time to pay she added a 40$ fee she conveniently didnt tell me about when I called in. Sketchy place

I was visiting family in Hamilton and took my 1 yr old dog there for his yearly shots but felt they tried to push me to get things that looking back on it was probably not necessary! you would think that the Vet and staff would do a quick check to make sure things are ok but instead I was forced to show them about a few tick bumps my dog had that they failed to spot. i strongly feel that a Vet should do the bare minimum and at least do a physical check . i ended up paying $400 for the yearly shots (with the pressure of getting unnecessary blood work done) and that "all in one" tablets/pills against

Visited today with my dog, I was very pleased with the Covid-19 protocols in place and how friendly and knowledgeable the employee was(Jessie I think!). I called in the morning and had an appointment later that day. I had many questions before, during and after our visit and all were answered-I appreciated having things explained to me and being told costs upfront. Vets are very expensive, however I felt that what I was charged was reasonable. Thanks so much for the great care!

Best price for my dogs dental, but that's not why they are getting 5 stars, they worked well with my dog who has fear aggression, Got the work done and did what needed to be done while trying to cause as less stress as possible. The Tech's are super friendly listen to concerns and never once made me feel like my dog would be treated any differently even though he's a bit nasty!
