Dental Care
Our comprehensive dental services prevent and treat periodontal disease through professional cleanings, oral exams, and home care guidance. We use anesthesia for thorough evaluations including gum probing and dental X-rays. Post-cleaning fluoride treatments and polishing help maintain oral health, while our team educates owners about at-home brushing techniques and VOHC-approved dental products.
Urgent Care
We handle critical cases like trauma, poisoning, and severe infections with immediate diagnostic testing and interventions. Our facilities offer digital radiography, in-house lab work, IV fluid therapy, and surgical capabilities during business hours. For after-hours critical care, we coordinate with local overnight facilities to ensure continuous treatment for injured or ill pets.
Internal Medicine
Our veterinarians diagnose and manage complex conditions affecting organ systems through advanced diagnostics like blood work, urinalysis, and ultrasound imaging. We treat chronic diseases such as diabetes, kidney failure, and endocrine disorders while providing personalized treatment plans that address each patient's unique medical needs and life stage requirements.
Pet Boarding
Our clean, spacious boarding facilities accommodate dogs and cats with regular exercise and personalized attention. We require up-to-date vaccinations and offer medication administration for pets with special needs. Reservations are recommended during holidays, with accommodations available for puppies, kittens, and diabetic animals requiring specific care protocols.
Grooming Services
Professional grooming includes breed-specific styling, bathing, and coat maintenance tailored to each pet's needs. Prices vary based on size, coat condition, and required services. We require current vaccinations for all grooming clients and offer appointments Monday through Friday with advance scheduling recommended for preferred time slots.
