Services 

We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best:

Preventive Medicine: Wellness care is tailored to your companion's needs. With regular, thorough physical exams and vaccinations appropriate to your pets' lifestyle, we can assist you in providing your pet the best possible care.  In addition, periodic diagnostic blood testing can help identify problems so they can be treated early, or, if normal, provide comforting peace of mind.  


Behavioral Counseling:  We can provide advice regarding training and behavioral problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling, anxiety disorders and aggression.  Referral to a behavior specialist is available if needed.



Dietary Counseling:  We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance and performance.  Our veterinarians also appreciate the value of health management for specific diseases through diet.       
   



 
Permanent identification:
We offer HomeAgain microchip identification.  10 million pets get lost every year. Without ID, 90% don't return home.  Over 94% of pets microchipped with HomeAgain have been reunited with their families.

Microchipping is a simple procedure that only requires a quick trip to the clinic. The microchip is implanted under the skin between the shoulder blades.















Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services:  Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pet's complete health care needs.  

Senior Pet Care:  Pets have many of the same medical conditions we have as we age. Regular lab testing is even more important in senior pets to prevent, detect, and monitor diseases they may develop.  Older pets may be treated for liver and kidney diseases, diabetes, cataracts, arthritis, incontinence and dementia.  When the time comes, hospice-type care can be provided for your pet's peace and comfort.
