Dental Care
Our comprehensive dental services prevent periodontal disease through annual exams and cleanings. We offer advanced procedures like extractions and provide home care products. Our technicians use modern techniques to maintain oral health, which directly impacts overall pet wellness by preventing systemic infections.
Digital Radiography
This non-invasive diagnostic tool detects fractures, swallowed objects, tumors, and organ abnormalities. Digital technology provides immediate, high-resolution images that can be enhanced for accuracy. We utilize low radiation doses suitable for all ages, including pregnant animals.
Early Cancer Detection
We offer comprehensive cancer screening using advanced diagnostics and partner laboratories. Our services include definitive testing and tailored treatment plans that may involve surgery, targeted therapies, or referral options. We work closely with pet owners to develop cost-effective strategies for cancer management.
In-Clinic Diagnostics
Our on-site laboratory provides rapid blood chemistry analysis for immediate health assessment. We detect infections, evaluate organ function, and screen for chronic conditions like diabetes. This capability enables same-day diagnosis and treatment initiation for faster pet recovery.
Surgery
We perform routine and complex soft-tissue surgeries using laser technology for reduced bleeding and pain. Our protocols include pre-anesthetic bloodwork, continuous vital monitoring, and post-operative pain management. Procedures range from spays/neuters to foreign body removal and growth excisions.

My dogs love going to the vet! One of mine is a little apprehensive around some people but the vet staff take time to let him get to know them and trust them! My puppy had a successful neuter a few months ago and he recovered well! Overall my pups and I have had good experiences!

My sweet boy-cat was infested with fleas over a period of approximately a week! He stays indoors, with the exception of my balcony, which is on the 3rd floor. I am still not sure how in the world this happened. Dr. Cox is a great Veterinarian. My boy received three (3) shots and didn't make a sound. Staff is very friendly and professional. They provide a quote on prices, before proceeding. This is great! I highly recommend this clinic!
