Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help to alleviate serious health problems.

To assist you in managing your pet’s care, we encourage you to utilize ePetHealth, a portal to your pet’s records, online store, and informational articles or the Veterinary Partner, which is an excellent pet resource.

In addition to providing a variety of services for the care of your pet, we utilize the latest technology and equipment to improve your pet’s recovery time.

Anesthesia: We utilize the safest anesthetics available to provide an extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high-risk patients. Using the most modern equipment, the patient’s vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.

Behavioral Counseling: We can provide advice regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, and house soiling.

Boarding: We provide pet boarding as a service to our clients. All boarders receive personal attention from our caring staff. Pets may be dropped off and picked up during regular business hours Monday through Saturday with an additional pickup time available on Sunday evening.
