Services
Vaccinations
We provide core and non-core vaccinations tailored to your pet's lifestyle and risk factors. Our protocols follow AAHA guidelines while addressing local disease prevalence in Philadelphia. Vaccines protect against rabies, parvovirus, leptospirosis, and feline leukemia while offering giardia testing for zoonotic disease prevention.
Wellness Exams
Annual comprehensive physical exams detect early health issues in dogs and cats. We emphasize preventive care for puppies, senior pets, and shelter adoptions. Exams include nutritional counseling, parasite screening, and customized vaccination schedules to maintain optimal pet health throughout their life stages.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings under anesthesia address periodontal disease in cats and dogs. We use T/D Diet recommendations for tartar control while providing digital radiography to diagnose hidden oral issues. Preventive care reduces systemic infections linked to dental disease in senior pets.
Urgent Care
Immediate attention for non-life-threatening pet injuries and illnesses. Our urgent care handles allergic reactions, minor trauma, and chronic condition flare-ups during regular business hours. Veterinarians utilize in-house diagnostics for rapid assessment while offering referral options for critical cases.
Geriatric Medicine
Specialized management for aging pets' chronic conditions like arthritis and organ disease. We develop pain management plans using advanced diagnostics including digital radiography and ultrasound partnerships. Regular senior wellness exams monitor mobility, cognitive function, and metabolic health in older dogs and cats.
