Pet Exams
Our AAHA-accredited facility provides comprehensive wellness exams for pets of all ages. These evaluations include physical assessments, dental exams, fecal testing, and age-appropriate bloodwork. We emphasize early disease detection through detailed nose-to-tail evaluations while offering personalized care plans tailored to each pet's unique needs.
Vaccinations
We offer customized vaccination schedules based on age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Our protocols include core vaccines like rabies, DA2PPL for dogs, and FVRCP for cats. We administer booster vaccines annually or as needed, maintaining protection against preventable diseases while ensuring safety and compliance with local regulations.
Teeth Cleaning
Our dental services include professional teeth cleaning under anesthesia using ultrasonic scaling and polishing. We perform digital X-rays to evaluate root health and treat conditions like periodontal disease. The process removes plaque/tartar above and below the gumline while providing preventive care recommendations for home maintenance.
Surgery
We perform soft tissue surgeries including spays/neuters, tumor removals, and cherry eye corrections. Our AAHA-certified protocols ensure safety with pre-anesthetic bloodwork, IV fluids, and advanced monitoring. For complex orthopedic cases, we collaborate with board-certified surgeons while maintaining continuity of care throughout recovery.
Emergency Care
We provide immediate veterinary care for critical conditions during regular hours. Our facility handles emergencies like trauma, poisoning, and acute illness with rapid diagnostic capabilities. The team implements pain management protocols while stabilizing patients, with access to specialized equipment for life-saving interventions.

You can definitely find a better local vet than this place. The doctors don't seem very knowledgeable and it feels like they are all on commission because of how pushy they are when it comes to trying to convince you that you need to spend $1000 every time you visit. I've never seen anything like this at other vets so I would not recommend this place. It doesn't make any sense how they have so many 5-star reviews - must be paid for because there is no way this many people are happy with this place. If you go here watch how much they try to sell you. it's insane! Be careful.

Great atmosphere, front staff is friendly and welcoming. The doctors/vets are amazing with the animals. I have been using them since I moved to Plantation 7 years ago and wouldn't want to go anywhere else with my dogs.
