Services
Pet Dental Care
Our comprehensive dental care prevents disease and tooth loss through routine cleanings, digital radiology, and oral surgery. We emphasize preventive care to maintain overall health, as oral hygiene directly affects systemic well-being. Clients receive tailored advice for at-home care and dietary adjustments.
Surgical Procedures
We perform surgeries using advanced equipment and monitoring, including spaying/neutering, soft-tissue procedures, and laser surgery. Pre-operative exams ensure safety, while post-operative care focuses on pain management and recovery support. Our team prioritizes minimizing stress for pets and owners.
Pet Laser Therapy
Laser therapy accelerates healing and reduces pain for conditions like arthritis, wounds, or post-surgical recovery. Non-invasive and painless, treatments integrate with traditional methods. We assess each case to determine optimal therapy plans for chronic or acute issues.
Pet Behavior Counseling
Our experts diagnose and address behavioral issues such as anxiety, aggression, or phobias. Consultations involve medical evaluations to rule out underlying causes, followed by customized treatment plans combining environment adjustments, training, and medication when needed.
Pet Grooming
Grooming services include baths, nail trims, anal gland expression, and breed-specific haircuts. We accommodate nervous pets with gentle handling and offer sedation when necessary. Regular grooming promotes skin health and parasite prevention alongside aesthetic benefits.

I just started taking my dog to Big Creek Pet Hospital and am very pleased with the service my dog and I received. Every worker there from the receptionist to the vet tech to the vet is friendly, professional and caring. They treated both my dog and I with respect and took care of all our needs. I would recommend this vet to all pet owners.

I highly recommend you take your fur babies here. Every employee we had the pleasure of interacting with on all our visits were incredible. Everyone truly respects you and cares deeply for your pets. They spend however much time you need to feel comfortable each visit and go over your pets health and recommendations. They will treat you and your fur babies like family. There's so much more I could say.
Bring your fur babies here! Special shout out to Carolyn, the way from the first appointment to the last you were incredibly kind. Truly made me feel like family and we felt so comfortable with you. Other shoutouts to Dr. Zabik, Dr. Fahrmeier, Bill, Renee, Sarah, Michelle and Mehlaina. My apologies if I forgot or misspelled anyone! Lacy, Alex and I will never forget how caring and kind you are. You have a customer for life!

I can't say enough good things about how we were cared for and treated when my kitty went in as a new patient. She was very lovingly and thoroughly and quickly taken care of. I was super impressed as a pet parent as was my baby!
