Services
Dentistry
Our veterinary dentistry services prevent and treat oral diseases that can impact pets' overall health. We perform professional cleanings, extractions, and oral surgery using advanced equipment. Regular dental care helps prevent heart, liver, and kidney issues caused by untreated periodontal disease.
Laser Therapy
This non-invasive therapy accelerates healing and reduces pain through targeted light energy. We use it for arthritis management, post-surgical recovery, and chronic pain conditions. The treatment stimulates cellular regeneration while minimizing discomfort without medication side effects.
Surgery
Our surgical suite provides spay/neuter procedures and complex soft-tissue surgeries with modern anesthetic monitoring. Board-certified surgeons perform orthopedic procedures while maintaining strict sterility protocols. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork ensures patient safety during all surgical interventions.
Vaccinations
We offer core and lifestyle-based vaccination programs to protect against common infectious diseases. Our veterinarians recommend tailored schedules based on age, health status, and exposure risks. Proper vaccination prevents serious illnesses and maintains herd immunity in pet populations.
Wellness Exams
Comprehensive physical examinations detect early signs of disease during annual visits. We assess weight, dental health, organ function, and mobility while providing preventive care recommendations. Regular exams establish health baselines for timely intervention when abnormalities arise.

Thank you for the AMAZING care you provided to my daughter's 6mo old German Shepard puppy!!! I really appreciate you accommodating us on such short notice. Everyone of the staff were very kind and knowledgeable!!! They were able to diagnose her baby quickly and get us on the right track to getting her better. This will now be our Veterinarian of choice in the future

Report
During such a different time, and when the term new normal is being used, I feel sorry for the pet owners who do not trust their vet enough to do curbside. I have 6 animals who see Dr. Bethany. Would it be nice to go inside? Of course! However, I thank all of the staff for trying to keep us safe and their doors open. I trust Dr. Bethany and Dr. Parra and the staff to handle my dogs. If I were afraid to do curbside with my pets, I would not have found 2 major concerns with my two dogs. Thank you Dr. Bethany, and staff for answering my endless questions via phone. I hope this review reaches the owners who are reluctant to bring their pets in for routine visits during this time.
