Services
Wellness Exams
Regular wellness exams help detect health issues early through comprehensive physical assessments. Our veterinarians evaluate weight, coat condition, eyes, ears, and vital signs. These preventive visits include parasite screening and vaccination updates to maintain optimal pet health.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings and oral exams prevent periodontal disease and tooth loss. We use advanced equipment for scaling, polishing, and dental X-rays. Our team provides home care guidance to maintain your pet's oral hygiene between visits.
Surgical Services
We perform spaying, neutering, and soft tissue surgeries in our fully equipped operating rooms. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures patient safety while modern monitoring equipment tracks vital signs throughout procedures. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery instructions.
Senior Wellness
Specialized senior wellness packages include bloodwork, urinalysis, and joint evaluations for aging pets. Early detection of conditions like kidney disease or diabetes allows timely intervention. We develop customized treatment plans to improve quality of life for older animals.
Emergency Care
After-hours emergency services handle trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses. Our team stabilizes critical patients with IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and diagnostic imaging. We provide immediate care for injuries, breathing difficulties, and other life-threatening conditions.

We brought our dog here for an emergency visit they were able to sneak us in for. We weren't from the area. I was worried about our dog and showed up early. They allowed me to leave her in their care until the appointment. I waited outside and came back in at the time of the appointment. They had already had a look over her, determined the issue, and offered 2 solutions. After all of this i received an invoice significantly cheaper than I was expecting. In addition to an extremely reasonable charge I was greeted by friendly staff and a wonderful vet. Our dog has made a full recovery. I cannot

This is not the same clinic as when Dr. Maarhuis owned and operated. They will play every trick to run the bill even if they have know the history of the pet. Our dog got a new vet today.

We booked in with cottonwood because our regular vet wasn’t available for months, this was the best thing to ever happen. We’ve never had such amazing care from the whole team. Our dog got a full head to toe check up for their annual wellness exam, our old vet was just shots and weight and that it. They were so polite and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend cottonwood to anyone looking to switch or needing a vet.

Don't bother making any appointments here. They can't figure out their system. Last 2 times I made an appointment the first one they didn't even schedule and the second one they canceled on me, luckily I called in to confirm my appointment because I hadn't heard from them to confirm it. Took my puppy in for antibiotics and they tell me he's fine to get his vaccines a few days later and then when I take him in they said I didn't have an appointment and said he couldn't be given all his vaccines because he was on antibiotics. So now they will charge another $75 visit fee just for the last shot. This

I have been going to Cottonwood veterinary since it opened. Dr Marhuis was the only one I trusted. He went over the call of duty!!! He is the only one that has seen my babies and now they are both 13. I made an appointment today for my senior baby girl and was told I was not able to go in with her😔 First thing- I don’t know this vet - second my… girl is 13 and has only ever seen Dr Marhuis - and third she doesn’t like going to there to begin with.... I would have appreciated the new Dr to call me to maybe introduce herself and ease me but instead the girl at the front
