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.

Comprehensive wellness exams

Comprehensive wellness exams help keep pets healthy with a thorough checkup from nose to tail. From puppies and kittens to senior pets, regular exams help us detect changes early and screen for potential diseases.

Dog and cat vaccinations

Vaccinations help protect pets from potentially life-threatening diseases. We offer all routinely recommended vaccines, including rabies, parvovirus, Bordetella, FVRCP, FeLV, and more.

Nutrition recommendations

We offer personalized nutrition guidance based on your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and health needs. Whether managing weight, allergies, or digestive issues, we help you choose the right diet and feeding plan.

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.

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.
