In-House Laboratory
Our in-house laboratory provides complete blood counts, chemistry screens, and urinalysis results within 8 minutes. We test thyroid levels for pets with endocrine disorders and monitor phenobarbital levels for epileptic animals. Immediate diagnostic results enable prompt treatment decisions for critical cases.
House Calls
We offer ambulatory services for home treatment of companion animals. Our house call services include routine checkups, vaccinations, and home euthanasia options. This service benefits pets with mobility issues and provides comfort for end-of-life care in familiar environments.
Digital Radiography
Digital radiography provides high-detail imaging for accurate diagnosis of skeletal and internal organ conditions. We can electronically share images with specialists for second opinions when needed. This technology reduces radiation exposure compared to traditional film methods.
ACL Repair
We perform anterior cruciate ligament repairs using TTA, TPLO, or extra-capsular techniques. Our surgical team collaborates with referral specialists who visit our clinic for complex orthopedic procedures. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring.
Online Pet Store
Our web store offers prescription medications, specialty diets, and pet products with home delivery. Auto-order features prevent supply shortages through scheduled deliveries. Customers can choose between direct shipping or in-clinic pickup options for convenience.

Great friendly staff and vet! Gave my pup a good look over and sent her home with the vaccine she needed and some dewormer.

Dr. Dolphin and his associates are always kind, compassionate and welcoming. We've been bringing our pets here for as long as I can remember and I will always recommend them for any urgent, and routine care.

Our dog has fear anxiety, he gets beside himself when there is a knock at the door. He is not easy to deal with initially. We arrived at Dolphin, the staff were all over the dog with confidence and without hesitation and that put our dog into a receptive mode. The Vet, Colin is very knowledgeable and professional. Thank You

We have a 9 year old boxer with anxiety and fear aggression. Visits to the vet have always been difficult for him and stressful for everyone involved. We started going here about 8 months ago and have nothing to say other than everyone who works there is amazing! Rosco is handled with ease and he's actually happy there. We highly recommend Dr. Dolphin!!

Our 14 yr old shitzu mix just had her teeth appointment for Dental Month. As she is older, bloodwork was done first and it came up not normal. She ended up being ok to get her teeth done, love that she was checked thoroughly first. She came home in great condition, and I just got off the phone for her follow up call 24 hours later.
Dr. Dolphin certainly has the perfect team. Highly, highly recommend.
