Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams help detect health issues early through physical examinations, diagnostic testing, and preventive care planning. These regular checkups ensure your pet maintains optimal health while allowing us to establish baseline measurements for future reference. Our veterinarians provide personalized recommendations for diet, exercise, and preventive treatments during these visits.
Vaccinations
We offer core and elective vaccination programs tailored to your pet's lifestyle and risk factors. Our vaccination protocols follow AAHA guidelines while considering individual health needs. This preventive care helps protect pets against common infectious diseases while maintaining community herd immunity.
Surgical Services
Our surgical suite handles routine and complex procedures including spays/neuters, soft tissue surgeries, and orthopedic interventions. We use modern anesthetic monitoring equipment and pain management protocols to ensure patient safety. Pre-surgical diagnostics help assess surgical risks for each individual patient.
Dentistry
We provide complete dental care including cleanings, extractions, and oral health assessments under anesthesia. Digital dental radiography helps identify hidden oral disease. Our team educates owners about home dental care to maintain oral health between professional cleanings.
Nutritional Counseling
Our staff offers science-based nutrition guidance for pets at every life stage. We address special dietary needs for weight management, medical conditions, and performance animals. We help owners evaluate commercial pet foods and formulate balanced homemade diets when appropriate.

The tech will come to your car to pick up your pet and Dr. Polit calls you as soon as she examines your pet while you wait in your car! Appointments are made so that there is not a very long wait! I feel very taken care of. Thank you
