Preventive Health Care Programs:
The importance of a routine visit is immeasurable. Among other things, it will help to ensure:
- Early diagnosis of health or behavioral problems
- Prevention of infectious disease
- Highest level of immune readiness
- Heartworm, flea, other parasite control
Our annual health maintenance package includes a thorough physical examination of your pet's coat and skin, eyes and ears, nose and throat, mouth, teeth and gums, heart and lungs, legs and paws, abdomen and gastrointestinal system, urogenital system, weight and diet.
If your animal is found to be healthy, vaccinations will be administered. Please contact us for information about the specific vaccines that we recommend. A microscopic examination of the feces for intestinal parasites (such as hookworms, ascarids, whipworms, tapeworms, giardia and coccidia) is also included. Canines receive an annual blood screen to detect the presence of heartworm disease. Additional health screening procedures may be performed depending on your pets' age and other medical issues.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services:
Animal medicine has made great strides in recent years and pets are now enjoying much longer and trouble-free lives with the aid of qualified and conscientious health care professionals. Our hospital has all of the tools necessary to meet your pets' complete health care needs.
- Advanced Digital Radiology Services - Our on-site, digital X-ray equipment provides high quality radiographs quickly to aid in the diagnosis of many disorders.
- Electrocardiography Services - We provide ECG services on-site as well as consultations with cardiology specialists.
- Laboratory Services - Our in-house laboratory facilities provide for serum chemistry, hematology, serology, urinalysis, parasite testing, and more. We also utilize commercial veterinary laboratories for specialized diagnostics and consultations.
- Pharmacy - We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, prescription foods, shampoos and heartworm preventatives to meet the needs of your pet.
Nutritional and Behavioral Counseling - We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance and performance. We can provide advice regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling and aggression.
Surgical/Anesthesia Services:
Our state-of-the-art surgical suite is equipped for the performance of a wide variety of procedures. In addition to performing pre-operative blood screening, other screening tests may be recommended in order to determine whether the patient is a good candidate for anesthesia. The patient’s vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, oxygen saturation) are monitored during anesthesia with the most modern machinery. We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide that extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high risk patients. Fluid therapy is administered to aid in flushing the patient's system of residual anesthetic and to keep the patient hydrated. All patients recover in a supervised environment, where the patient is kept safe and comfortable. We then design a pain management plan to fit the patient's post-operative needs.
Dental Services
Our dental services include teeth cleaning and polishing, dental X-rays, tooth extractions and oral surgery. Click here for detailed information on and pictures of what is involved in a professional dental cleaning. Ask us about veterinary-approved foods, treats and special sealants that are proven to slow the progression of tarter build-up.
- Scaling and Polishing - Veterinarians use similar instruments as human dentists to remove plaque and calculus from your pet’s teeth. Polishing with a special paste is also recommended to smooth out any scratches in the tooth enamel.
- Fluoride and Sealants - The application of an anti-plaque substance, such as a fluoride treatment and a barrier sealant can help strengthen and desensitize teeth as well as decrease future plaque.
- Post Cleaning Examination and Diagnostics - We examine individual teeth for mobility, fractures, malocclusion, and periodontal disease.
Supervised Boarding/Hospitalization:
We offer affordable, comfortable, climate-controlled pet boarding as a service to our clients. Our full-time kennel supervisor, Emily, gives each pet individual attention and ensures that all of their needs are being met! Our
facility has accommodations for felines in our cat condos and
for canines in our dog condos on the opposite side of
the clinic. Dogs are let outside in our fenced in outdoor play area at
least three times a day. Additionally, Emily enjoys leash-walking dogs around the
clinic grounds with your consent.
Our staff is on
hand to tend to any medical needs that a patient may have, from medication
administration to doctor examination and monitoring. For the safety of all pets in our care we require that all vaccinations are current and that all pets are free of internal and external parasites. Routine and therapeutic
bathing services are available upon request.
We supply our
visitors with food and water bowls, comfortable bed pads, and fresh
towels. Science Diet brand foods will be offered at no additional
charge to pets if no other food is provided. You are welcome
to bring any of your pet’s comfort items from home, including toys, blankets,
medications and special foods. We do not have in-house laundry facilities.
Soiled items will be sent home unless arrangements have been made for us to
dispose of them. Click here for more information on boarding.

like a vaccine. It is a safe and effective way to distinguish your pet from
others and to allow your pet to be tracked back to you. Click here
