Veterinary Services

We believe in high quality care and great service. Our goal is providing exceptional client service from the most qualified staff in our state of the art veterinary facility. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best.

Annual Wellness Exam

Our pets age five to seven years for every one of ours, making yearly physicals even more necessary than our own. Our veterinarian strongly recommends annual vaccinations and annual wellness examinations to ensure that your pet receives the best preventative medicine. Annual exams help to ensure that health problems are caught and addressed early. Our Healthy Adult Diagnostic Package is available in addition to your pet's annual vaccine appointment and includes a Complete Blood Count, Basic Metabolic Panel, Heartworm Test or FelV/FIV Test, and Intestinal Parasite Check for $150 (a $245 value). Urine and a poop sample are required to be brought to the appointment for the Urinalysis and Intestinal Parasite Check to be preformed.

Senior Wellness Exam

We offer a Healthy Senior Diagnostic Package in addition to your pet's annual vaccine appointment to enhance your older pet's well being and promote early detection of abnormalities and disease. Our Healthy Senior Diagnostic Package includes a Complete Blood Count, Complete Metabolic Panel, Electrolytes, Thyroid Panel, Urinalysis, Heartworm Test or FelV/FIV Test, and Intestinal Parasite Check for $250 (a $400 value). Urine and a poop sample are required to be brought to the appointment for the Urinalysis and Intestinal Parasite Check to be preformed. We also recommend yearly preventative X-rays ($250) to evaluate internal organs.

HT Vista Cancer Screening

HT Vista uses heat diffusion imaging (HDI), an artificial-intelligence algorithm that recognizes cancerous cells by their unique heat-flow properties. The patented technology was developed by experts in AI, thermodynamics, oncology and radiology. When HT Vista’s handpiece is applied to a suspicious lump, HDI initiates a dynamic image recording of thermal signals to measure heat diffusion and compare them to surrounding tissue. An algorithm analyzes the results and classifies the lump as malignant or benign. The results are delivered immediately on a 1-to-10 scale. One to 4 means further diagnostics are necessary, while 5 to 10 indicates that the mass is benign, with a 98% negative predictive value. This non-invasive screening starts at $150 for the first mass, then $25 for each additional mass.

Diagnostic and Laboratory Services

Our in-house laboratory and ultrasound equipment allows us to quickly and thoroughly evaluate your pet's health. Our in-house laboratory allows us to have results of many blood tests in less than an hour for critically ill or injured pets. For more in-depth or routine testing, we use an outside laboratory that can often have results to us in 24 hours or less.

Surgical Services

Our surgical suite is equipped with the most up to date anesthesia, surgical, and monitoring equipment to ensure your pet's safety and comfort. All animals undergoing surgery have their blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and end tidal CO₂ monitored throughout the procedure. Our doctor believes strongly in providing pain management before, during, and after the procedure. Our surgical services include spay/neutering, lacerations/abscesses, tumor removal, abdominal surgery, ear and eye surgeries, reproductive, oral/periodontal surgery. For more information, please check out our Surgery Electives!

Laparoscopic Surgeries

Laparoscopic surgery is known as minimally invasive, or keyhole surgery. It involves 3 small 5-10 mm incisions being made into the body wall that then go into the abdomen. From there, multiple procedures can be preformed from liver biopsies to spays. A laparoscopic spay has many advantages over the traditional method, including faster recovery time, smaller incisions, fewer complications, and often less pain. A traditional spay requires a post-operative rest and recovery period of 10-14 days. With a laparoscopic spay, this is reduced to a rest period of only 3-5 days before normal activity levels can resume.

Anesthesia

We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide an extra margin of safety especially for our older or high-risk patients. Using the most modern equipment, the patient's vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.

Internal Medicine Consults

We offer referrals to an internal medicine specialist who performs ultrasounds, CT/MRIs, endoscopic procedures and helps us with the diagnosis of more complicated cases.

Radiology

Our on site state-of-the-art digital radiology equipment provides high quality x-rays to help our veterinarians evaluate muscular-skeletal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, reproductive, and urinary systems.

Dentistry

Maintaining good oral health can add years to your pet's life and can make their later years more comfortable and happy. Our dental services include oral/dental exam, cleaning, polishing and fluoride treatment, dental x-rays, extractions, and fracture repair. During an annual visit, the doctor will examine your pet's mouth for signs of early gum disease and point out areas of tartar build-up or decay. If you notice any of these warning signs, do not wait for the next annual visit; set up the appointment today.

Microchipping

If your pet gets lost how do you find it? Microchipping has become a popular way to identify your pet should they go missing. Having a microchip greatly increases the chance that a shelter or vet can identify your pet by scanning for a microchip. The microchip is a small chip about the size of a small grain of rice. It is inserted into the scruff of your pet's neck. It contains a unique number which, when registered online, provides a reliable way of identifying the pet without the need for a collar. Microchipping is a simple and harmless procedure.

Laser Therapy

We are excited to offer our clients Cutting Edge Laser Therapy. Laser therapy provides non-invasive, pain-free, surgery-free, drug-free treatment which is used to treat a variety of conditions and can be preformed in conjunction with existing treatment protocols. Relief and/or improvement is often noticed within hours depending on the condition and your pet's unique health status. Whether your pet is rehabilitating from trauma or injury, healing from wounds, or simply aging, your companion can benefit from this innovative approach to treating pain.

Pharmacy

We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, medicated shampoos, flea and tick control products and heartworm preventatives to meet the needs of your pet. We do charge a $20 fee for external prescriptions for medications that we have available here but you choose to fill elsewhere. Prescription Diets are excluded from this fee.

Emergency Care

Dietary Counseling

We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance and performance.

Grooming

We offer grooming services to client-owned animals only. Your pet can be dropped off as early as 8:00 am, but needs to arrive by 9:30 am on the day your pet is scheduled to be groomed. Your pet can be picked up from 3:00pm to 5:00pm. Your pet will be kept in a safe, friendly atmosphere and never exposed to unvaccinated animals. To ensure your pet's safety, we require all pets to be vaccinated prior to being admitted. You can feel confident that should any medical emergency arise while your pet is with us, he or she will have immediate access to our professional veterinary staff.

Boarding

We provide boarding for our clients. All boarder’s vaccinations and annual exam must be current and will receive personal attention from our caring staff. Pets may be dropped off and picked up during regular business hours Monday through Friday. Reservations can be made up to three months in advance; holidays and get-away weekends fill quickly. Patients with medical needs will be given preference when space is limited.

Hospitalization

Hospitalized patients are examined daily by our veterinarian who communicate progress to their owner directly. Our veterinary nurses ensure your pet’s safety by monitoring your pet throughout the day. In some cases, owners are encouraged to visit their hospitalized pet during our visiting hours, between 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm. This often boosts your pet’s morale, which may factor into the recovery process.
