Our peaceful passings and grief support services are designed to provide comfort, compassion, and dignity to both pets and their families during this challenging time.
Diagnostics
Diagnostic testing plays a crucial role in identifying and treating health issues in pets. At our hospital, we offer a range of diagnostic tests to accurately assess your pet’s health and guide treatment decisions.
In-House Pharmacy
We have an in-house pharmacy to provide quick and timely access to your pet’s prescriptions.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations are a crucial part of your pet’s care plan, providing protection against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. You can expect our veterinarians to discuss the core vaccines recommended for all pets, along with a customized vaccination plan that is tailored to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors.
Spay & Neuter
These procedures offer numerous benefits for both pets and their owners, contributing to a healthier, happier pet population and reducing the number of homeless animals.
Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures performed under anesthesia by our experienced veterinary team. Our team will discuss the associated benefits for your pet and walk you through each step of your pet’s care.
Urgent Care
Our veterinary hospital provides life-saving procedures during our open hours, serving pets experiencing urgent symptoms such as coughing, ear infections, growths, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, poisoning, scooting, cuts or lacerations, eye infections, limping, persistent scratching, rashes, and urinary issues. While we're not an emergency hospital, we're equipped to handle critical situations and offer immediate care for your pet's well-being.
Kitten & Puppy Care
Our veterinarians will provide you with a comprehensive vaccination schedule, parasite evaluation and prevention plan, along with heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. They will also discuss spaying or neutering, along with other important topics to support your pet’s health.
Cancer Care
Our veterinarians are experienced in diagnosing and evaluating treatment options for your pet should a cancer diagnosis occur. These options may include care in our hospital or in some cases, consultation or referral to a cancer specialist.
Surgery
Whether your pet requires a routine procedure or complex surgery, you can trust our experienced veterinary team to provide compassionate care and expert surgical expertise.
X-Rays
X-rays are invaluable tools in veterinary medicine, providing detailed images of your pet’s internal structures to aid in diagnosis and treatment. We offer both full-body and dental X-rays to ensure comprehensive care for your furry family member.
Dental Cleaning & Health
Did you know that dental disease is one of the most common health problems in pets, affecting up to 80% of dogs and 70% of cats by the age of three?
Our dental cleaning services are designed to keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy, ensuring a lifetime of good oral hygiene. Regular dental cleanings are essential for preventing dental disease and maintaining your pet’s overall health and well-being. By addressing dental issues early, we can help prevent pain, infection, and other serious health problems down the road.
