Vaccinations
Our vaccination programs protect pets against core diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus while offering lifestyle-based protection against conditions like leptospirosis. We follow strict protocols to ensure proper immunity development while minimizing adverse reactions. Each vaccination schedule considers the pet's age, health status, and exposure risks, with detailed records maintained for travel and boarding requirements.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include professional cleanings, periodontal treatment, and oral surgery. We use digital radiography to detect hidden dental disease and implement preventive care plans to maintain oral health. Our team educates owners about home care techniques while addressing painful conditions like tooth resorption and gingivitis through modern treatment modalities.
Diagnostic Services
In-house laboratory capabilities enable rapid bloodwork analysis, urinalysis, and infectious disease screening. We complement these with specialized testing through certified reference labs for endocrine function, genetic markers, and advanced pathology. Digital imaging includes radiography and ultrasound for internal organ assessment, supporting accurate diagnosis of complex medical conditions.
Surgery
Our surgical suite handles routine procedures like spaying/neutering alongside complex soft-tissue and orthopedic surgeries. Patients receive multi-modal pain management and continuous monitoring during anesthesia. We utilize laser surgery for reduced bleeding and post-operative care instructions include detailed recovery timelines and activity restrictions to ensure optimal healing outcomes.
House Visits
Mobile veterinary services bring medical care directly to pets' homes, reducing stress for anxious animals. Our house calls include wellness exams, vaccinations, and basic diagnostic testing while maintaining treatment continuity with clinic records. This service particularly benefits elderly pets and those with mobility challenges, ensuring consistent healthcare access.

PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU LOVE YOUR FUR BABIE!!! This excuse of a vet should be avoided at all costs!!! It was my experience that He is incapable of simply not only taking blood from any animal, he has horrific history of properly putting our fur babies to sleep. My experience has left me with P.T.S.D. After repeated attempts to inject the first needle and failing, he pushed the solution into her anyway. It freaked Her out! She started to bit me and was screaming to get out of the room. Her eyes where pleading with me to stop this but, I could do nothing but plead to end this night mare. Then

Went in for an examination for my dogs Eye he refused to give me the drops at the date of the appointment he said just to monitor it and then couple days later and got even more red and the other eye started getting red as well and then I called the clinic to see if I can get the eyedrops they wanted to charge over $30 for it and then when I asked for a prescription so I could get it elsewhere cheaper they also wanted to charge me $14 for the prescription which isnt fair because I had paid for the examination fee and prescription was supposed to be a part of the examination fee.
