​Dental Care
Dental Care is a critical part of your pet's routine health care. 30% of pets by the age of 2 show some degree of change to their dental health. Your pets teeth will be checked yearly at their annual physical examination. At this visit we can discuss and demonstrate  at-home dental care tactics, such as tooth brushing, dental diets and oral health chews. 

In the event that your pets dental health has surpassed the efforts of home care tactics alone, a routine scale and polish of their teeth may be indicated. Unfortunately, as our pets do not know not to bite the dentist, this requires they be placed under general anesthetic for their cleaning. While asleep, they will have each tooth cleaned thoroughly with an ultrasonic scaler, and then polished to create a smooth surface, helping to reduce future plaque buildup. Once the cleaning is complete, we will recommend and review products to use at home, to keep your pets new clean smile pearly white!
Diagnostic Services 
In our diagnostic work-up, we may use many different tools and tests to determine the cause of your pets illness and the available treatment options. Our lab allows us to analyze urine, and feces in house, in order to achieve fast and reliable diagnostic clues!  We also use outside Laboratories for more comprehensive testing and consultation on your pet. For more serious issues we can refer you to the proper feline or canine specialist. 
Dietary & Nutritional Counseling
Many clinical conditions can be treated or managed through your pets diet. Whether your pet has a weight problem or requires a special diet for a particular health condition, our staff can counsel you on the nutritional options available. We encourage the use of high quality food like Hill's Prescription Diet, Royal Canin and ProPlan Veterinary Diets to keep your pet as healthy as possible. 
Digital Radiology
With our ability to take and process x-rays digitally we can quickly diagnose and treat your pet.  Images can also be emailed to owners to share with their family or to a specialist for consultation. 
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is used to treat a variety of conditions to reduce inflammation, relieve both acute and chronic pain, improve circulation and speed up the process of healing by accelerating cell growth and repairing tissues. 
On-site Pharmacy Services
By providing medications at the time of the appointment the veterinarian is able to review the labels and answer any questions owners may have regarding the treatment of their pets.  This guarantees that the pet receives the correct medication and eliminates any chance of error with communication to an outside pharmacy.  This service also has the added benefit of eliminating the extra stop on the way home and the wait that always seems to come along with picking up a prescription!
Radiology 
As our furry friends are unable to speak, x-rays can be a useful tool in our diagnostic work-up of the sick or painful pet! Our state of the art digital radiography system provides clear, quality x-rays in a very short amount of time. The high level of accuracy and ability to manipulate image settings allows for better and faster diagnosis, which leads to better and faster treatment.
Surgical Procedures
Routine and emergency animal surgeries are performed at our hospital. Our elective surgeries take place Monday to Friday (except Thursdays) and include spays, neuters, declaws, biopsies and mass removals. All patients are monitored under anesthesia by a trained veterinary nurse. Most procedures required pre-surgical bloodwork to ensure that there are no predisposing conditions or anesthetic risks. Administration of intravenous fluids during surgery helps your pet to maintain blood pressure and hydration status during the surgery.  Aside from routine elective surgery, our veterinarians are also fully skilled in surgeries involving the bladder, stomach and intestinal tract. In the event your pet requires a specialty surgery, we can easily arrange referral to a board certified veterinary surgeon. 
New Pet Counseling 
Adding a new addition to your home can be a difficult transition time for existing animals, and overwhelming for the new pet owner. We believe in educating clients in order to make the transition into new pet ownership as smooth as possible! Starting as a kitten or puppy, we will help guide you through health and training tips and provide all necessary information to maintain your pet's health in all of his/her life stages.
