We offer a variety of services to cater to your pet's needs. These include yearly preventative care such as physical exams, vaccinations, and testing for heartworms and other internal and external parasites. We also provide microchipping using the most widely used Microchip to ensure your pet's safe return. In addition to routine spays and neuters, our veterinarians have extensive experience with complex orthopedic and soft tissue surgeries, including bone pinning, cystotomies, enterotomies, gastrotomies, gastropexies, resection/anastomosis, and caesarean sections. Our dental services include routine cleanings and ultrasonic cleaning.
Diagnostics play a crucial role in modern veterinary services, and we offer in-house digital radiographs, ultrasound, blood chemistry analysis, and hematology. When necessary, we utilize outside commercial laboratories like Antech and Idexx. Our full-service pharmacy is stocked with all veterinary prescription drugs, the latest flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives, including the Proheart 6-month injection heartworm preventative. We also offer Hill’s Science and prescription diet foods.
