Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams include medical history review, physical exams, vaccine updates, and preventive care planning. We use in-house lab testing for quick diagnostics and focus on early disease detection through blood work and fecal testing. These exams ensure pets maintain optimal health through lifestyle-tailored recommendations.
Surgical Procedures
We perform spays, neuters, dental cleanings, tumor removals, and wound repairs with advanced anesthesia monitoring. Pre-surgical consultations include bloodwork, procedure details, and pain management plans. Our technicians use digital radiography and maintain strict safety protocols to ensure successful outcomes for routine and complex surgeries.
Reproduction Services
Partnering with Agnew Veterinary Reproductive Services, we offer frozen semen storage, transcervical insemination, and progesterone testing. Our board-certified specialist creates personalized breeding plans using same-day diagnostics. This service supports successful reproduction through advanced techniques and collaborative client relationships.

Our saline pool provides low-impact exercise for post-surgical recovery, joint health, and fitness. Private hourly sessions accommodate pets and owners year-round. Day passes ($35/hour) and monthly unlimited passes ($150) include wellness checks. The climate-controlled facility ensures safe, comfortable aquatic therapy for all seasons.
