Wellness Exam
Annual wellness exams allow our veterinarians to assess your pet's overall health and detect diseases early. These comprehensive nose-to-tail examinations include vital checks, dental evaluations, and parasite screenings. Our team provides personalized recommendations for diet, exercise, and preventive care based on your pet's specific needs and lifestyle.
Vaccinations
We offer core and lifestyle-based vaccination programs tailored to your pet's species, environment, and activity level. Our protocols protect against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, feline leukemia, and other preventable diseases while following state regulations and AAHA/AAFP guidelines for optimal protection.
Spay and Neuter
Our surgical team performs safe spay and neuter procedures using advanced anesthetic monitoring. These surgeries help control pet overpopulation while providing health benefits like reduced cancer risk. We include pre-operative exams, pain management, and post-operative care instructions for optimal recovery.

Professional dental cleanings and oral exams help prevent periodontal disease that can affect organ health. Our dental suite provides digital imaging, ultrasonic scaling, and polishing under anesthesia to ensure thorough cleaning and early detection of oral issues.

I had such a great visit. This practice is very streamlined, efficient, and organized and all the staff very friendly and my dog was very at ease and incredibly well taken care of. I have over the years used several different vets due to relocation and BAH outshines my previous experiences. I am so relieved to have been lucky enough to find them.

We are very happy with this practice. Both Dr.s Gerard and Dr. Min are wonderful. They cared for our labradoodle through end of life care, and now support our Great Dane puppy and 3 cats. Located where they are they could be extremely expensive, but they maintain reasonable costs. The desk staff (we know Thomas and Sue) are so friendly and truly interested in the pets. And the vet techs are awesome.
