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.

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.

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.
