Services
Wellness Exams
Comprehensive physical examinations help detect early illness signs and prevent disease through routine veterinary care. Our exams include dental assessments, weight management counseling, and age-specific screenings. Regular checkups ensure pets maintain optimal health throughout their lives.
Homeopathy
We treat illnesses using natural remedies that stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms. This approach addresses chronic conditions with minimal side effects while supporting overall wellness. Our practitioners combine homeopathy with conventional diagnostics for balanced treatment plans.
Orthopedic Surgery
Advanced surgical procedures address musculoskeletal injuries and conditions affecting bones, joints, and ligaments. We employ minimally invasive techniques and post-operative rehabilitation to restore mobility. Our surgeons specialize in treating sports injuries and degenerative joint diseases.
Cold Laser Therapy
Non-invasive laser treatments reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate tissue healing. This therapy benefits pets with arthritis, wounds, or post-surgical recovery needs. Sessions typically last 15-30 minutes with no required sedation.
Hormone Sparing Sterilization
We offer sterilization methods that preserve reproductive hormones while preventing overpopulation. These procedures maintain natural growth patterns and reduce disease risks associated with traditional spaying/neutering. Consultations determine suitability for individual pets.

One of the absolute worst vet experiences of my pet-owning life. I would never recommend this vet to anyone.

We have been seeing Dr. Lavaroff for almost 14 years and have 0 issues with his care. He is actually the only reason we stayed with this clinic for so long and unfortunately Dr. Moira’s lack of professionalism,… compassion, and need to argue instead of listening to a dog parent’s concerns are just not worth putting up with further. There have been multiple occasions in the past where we have felt she was maybe not the right fit for us, but prior to this past summer we had thought it was maybe a difference of personalities and not anything to do with her veterinary skills as we

Hollistic vet that gives you options and doesn't recommend tests unless really necessary is very respectful if people are trying to work within budgets, and most often natural treatments are super reasonable and has always helped our dogs and cats. They do titer testing so as not to over vaccinate. they truly care about your pets health and well being its not about just making money

We love Pawsitive! It’s great how Dr Moira blends the alternative with conventional therapies. We have had 2 dogs and 2 cats under her care. She is very matter of fact, which is very helpful when you are dealing with emotional situations. Dr Moira and her husband were so compassionate and caring when we said good bye to one of our dogs last summer.… My husband and I both appreciated their kindness. The staff are great, very open and helpful. I always feel confident when I take our pets to her that whatever issue we have will be resolved. I am so thankful for the care we have received

Hands down the best bet I have ever been to in my life of owning animals..they were extremely friendly and I did not even want to leave. I learned so much and was given so much valuable knowledge. It felt like a family. we laughed and joked. I am so happy and I will be using them from now on !!!!!!

My vet for 20 years, professional and caring and always respectful. This is the vet clinic I always recommend to my puppy buyers and my grooming clients.
