Behavior evaluation

Changes in your pet’s behavior may be linked to underlying medical conditions. We assess concerns such as aggression, anxiety, excessive barking, socialization issues, and destructive habits to determine if it’s linked to a health issue. We also provide techniques, resources, and environmental modifications to support them.

Cat and dog skin and coat care

We diagnose and treat issues like dryness, itching, allergies, hot spots, and hair loss that can result from causes such as allergies, parasites, or infections. Whether they need relief from irritation or routine care, our team can help restore their skin and coat health.

Orthopedic evaluation and treatment

Orthopedic evaluations help diagnose joint and mobility issues, including limping, arthritis, ligament injuries, and fractures. Our veterinarians assess their bones, joints, and muscles through physical exams and imaging to create a treatment plan to support their mobility and long-term joint health. Treatment may include pain management, lifestyle modifications, mobility exercises, and, if needed, surgical options.

Parasite prevention and treatment

We offer screening and treatment plans for internal and external parasites. Year-round flea, tick, and heartworm prevention helps keep your pet protected.

Pet gastrointestinal diagnosis and treatment

For symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or digestive discomfort, we perform gastrointestinal evaluations to identify and treat the underlying cause. This may include physical exams, lab tests, and imaging to uncover if it’s an infection, food sensitivity, parasite, or more serious condition.

General surgery

We perform a variety of procedures, including removing foreign objects, repairing wounds, removing masses or tumors, and orthopedic surgery. We prioritize safety, pain management, and a smooth recovery for your pet.

Spaying and neutering

Dental digital x-ray

Pet dental digital X-rays are often performed during dental cleanings and allow our team to see below the gumline of your pet’s mouth. They help diagnose tooth infections, fractures, and periodontal disease.

Digital radiology (Pet X-Rays)

Pet X-rays let us quickly diagnose a wide range of health problems in dogs and cats. With imaging, we can evaluate bones, joints, and internal organs to detect conditions such as fractures, swallowed objects, intestinal blockages, lung disease, and other internal injuries.

In-house laboratory diagnostics

On-site testing provides fast test results. Common tests include blood work, urinalysis, and parasite screening, which help detect infections, diseases, and other health problems.

Drop-off services

Convenient drop-off services allow you to leave your pet in our care while we perform exams, testing, or treatment.

End-of-life care

We provide compassionate support for pets during their final stages of life. Our vet team offers guidance on pain management, quality of life assessments, hospice care, palliative treatments, and humane in-office euthanasia when the time comes. We are here to support you with care, dignity, and respect, helping you make the best decisions for your beloved companion.

Foreign language and ASL interpretation services

We offer free interpretation services for over 350 languages, including ASL. Let us know before your appointment and you will be connected by phone or video call to a professional translator who can help you clearly understand your pet’s diagnosis and treatment needs.

In-house veterinary pharmacy

Our in-house pharmacy means owners can get their pet prescriptions at their visit. Antibiotics, pain relief, parasite prevention, and other medications recommended during the exam are available immediately, meaning your pet gets the treatment they need without waiting.

Medical grooming

Under veterinary supervision, medical grooming helps pets with severe matting, skin conditions, or anxiety. When necessary, sedation or anesthesia may be necessary to safely remove mats, trim fur, and maintain hygiene.

Microchipping

Microchipping provides permanent identification and increase the chances of being reunited with your pet if they are lost. A tiny microchip is safely inserted under the skin and contains a unique ID number that veterinarians and animal shelters can scan to identify lost pets and contact their owners.
