Services
Pet Boarding
Our pet boarding service provides a comfortable environment for dogs and cats when owners travel. We maintain climate-controlled facilities with regular exercise periods for dogs. All boarders receive twice-daily feedings using premium pet food unless special diets are provided. Our staff monitors pets 24/7 and can administer medications as needed. We require current vaccination records for all boarding animals to maintain a healthy environment.
Laser Therapy
We offer advanced laser therapy for pets recovering from injuries or surgeries. This non-invasive treatment reduces inflammation and promotes faster healing through photo-bio-modulation. Our Companion Therapy Laser System delivers precise treatments for chronic conditions and post-operative care. The therapy helps manage pain without pharmaceutical side effects. Each session typically lasts 15-20 minutes with noticeable improvement in mobility observed after several treatments.
Preventative Services
Our preventative care program includes annual exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention for pets of all ages. We recommend regular heartworm testing and flea/tick control to maintain optimal health. Dental checkups help prevent periodontal disease that can affect major organs. Our wellness plans cover routine diagnostics and early disease detection. We provide customized preventative recommendations based on each pet's lifestyle and medical history.
Surgical Services
We perform various surgical procedures including spays, neuters, and soft tissue operations. Our surgical suite features advanced monitoring equipment for anesthesia safety. Board-certified specialists consult on complex orthopedic cases when needed. Post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up examinations. We provide detailed home care instructions and 24/7 emergency support for surgical patients.
Allergy Consultation
Our allergy evaluations identify environmental and food sensitivities in pets. We use blood testing to detect reactions to common allergens like pollens and molds. Hyposensitization therapy offers long-term relief through customized allergy injections. The process typically requires 3-6 months to determine effective treatment protocols. We monitor progress through regular follow-up consultations and adjust treatment plans as needed.
