Services
Dental Care
Our veterinary dental services address feline oral health needs through comprehensive exams, cleanings, and surgical interventions. We utilize advanced imaging techniques and anesthesia protocols to ensure safe, thorough treatment while preventing periodontal disease and tooth decay. Our team provides post-operative care guidance and home maintenance recommendations tailored to your cat's specific needs.
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams focus on early disease detection through comprehensive physical assessments and diagnostic testing. Our veterinarians evaluate weight, coat condition, organ function, and dental health while administering age-appropriate vaccinations and parasite prevention. These checkups establish health baselines and identify potential issues before they become serious medical concerns.
Cold Laser Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses low-level lasers to stimulate cellular regeneration and reduce inflammation in cats with chronic pain conditions. Effective for arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and soft tissue injuries, each 15-30 minute session promotes healing without requiring anesthesia or medication, making it ideal for sensitive feline patients.
Internal Medicine
Our veterinarians diagnose and manage complex internal conditions affecting feline organ systems, including endocrinology, cardiology, and gastroenterology cases. We employ advanced diagnostic tools and collaborate with specialists when necessary to develop customized treatment plans for chronic diseases like diabetes, kidney failure, and autoimmune disorders.
Kitten Care
We provide comprehensive wellness programs for kittens through their first year, including vaccination schedules, deworming protocols, and nutritional guidance. Our team offers socialization advice, behavior counseling, and early detection screenings to establish proper growth patterns and address developmental concerns during critical life stages.

Absolutely recommend this vet, everyone Ive dealt with here is kind, understanding and goes absolutely above and beyond when it comes to the care of your kitty. Not to mention the office is very cozy and comfortable, not like other vet offices.

My cat Rocky was really sick one evening and I was very worried about him. So I called the cat hospital and the vet was able to see me after hours. She gave him some shots and some medicine to see if it would help. And if not to bring him back in the morning. I am so grateful that I was able to at least try and get the medicine he needed. Thank you

Took my cat here for a spay. The spay was done well and the rest of the staff were wonderful, however had a terrible experience with Dr Sandy. It seems he made an assumption about me and my pet ownership and entered the conversation with an attitude and was entirely disrespectful to me. While I am not a vet and I understand that, I was shocked at the way he spoke to me about my pet care practices, specifically for using more than one vet in the past despite a valid reason. Pushed a food brand I don't agree with and for no reason, especially since he admitted to me my cat was healthy although had
