Services
General Wellness
Our comprehensive wellness programs focus on disease prevention and early detection through regular checkups, parasite screening, and tailored vaccination schedules. We create customized PAW Plans that spread preventive care costs across the year while ensuring pets receive essential health maintenance at every life stage, from puppy/kitten visits to senior care.
Dentistry
We provide complete dental care including professional cleanings, oral examinations, and treatment for periodontal disease. Regular dental maintenance prevents systemic health issues while specialized equipment enables advanced procedures like tooth extractions and oral surgery, ensuring pets maintain proper nutrition and comfort throughout their lives.
Diagnostic Services
Our in-house laboratory and imaging capabilities allow rapid diagnosis through blood work, urinalysis, and fecal exams. Radiography services identify skeletal abnormalities or internal injuries while allergy testing helps pinpoint environmental or food-related sensitivities, enabling targeted treatment plans that improve long-term pet wellness outcomes.
Soft Tissue Surgery
We perform various soft tissue procedures including spays/neuters, mass removals, and abdominal surgeries using modern anesthetic protocols and monitoring equipment. Preoperative bloodwork ensures surgical safety while postoperative care includes pain management and follow-up examinations to promote proper healing and recovery.
End of Life Care
Our compassionate end-of-life services include euthanasia options, cremation arrangements, and hospice care plans for pets with terminal conditions. We provide emotional support for owners during decision-making processes and offer memorialization guidance to help families honor their pets' legacies with dignity.

All of the staff were friendly and professional. Office and patient areas are clean and well lit. I was running late and they were still able to see my corso, Louie. I truly appreciated the fact that they were still able to get us seen. I highly recommend them.

Report
We brought out dog in for a check up because he was alternating quivering and panting. They immediately diagnosed valley fever ( he showed none of the symptoms) or pain. Following a spine xray ( perfectly normal) blood work was run. Low red blood elevated white. He had an infection of some sort. They would only prescribe a pain medication. In the meantime his valley fever results were negative. His symptoms progressed to death in less than a week What was striking about this service was the extreme lack of curiosity about what was wrong with our dog.
We placed several phone calls to ask for a broad spectrum antibiotic- to no avail. DO NOT GO HERE. It appears that our dog was infected by something at the doggy park we visit. Other animals got sick but survived because they were properly diagnosed. No curiosity- no follow up. Sub- standard care.

Amazing care by the Doctors. No complaints always attentive and take special care of my fur kiddos. But, good luck trying to get an appointment with them. They have taken on too many clients for them to handle. This will be the 3rd time they have had to reschedule for more revenue appointments like surgeries. Then can't seem to find an open spot you over booked? Absolutely unprofessional.

Because we like a one on one appointment they called when a cancelation allowed it. Our dog got his shots to update him and blood work for his upcoming dental care. They called later that evening to check on him and again because he was still not back to his old self. That was after 6:30 at night. We are very happy with the care he receives and all the people who care for him.
