Wellness Exams
Our annual wellness exams establish health baselines and enable early detection of potential issues. We conduct comprehensive physical assessments, review vaccination needs, and provide breed-specific screenings. Personalized care plans are developed to ensure long-term pet health, with tailored advice on nutrition, exercise, and preventive care. This proactive approach helps maintain optimal wellness for pets of all ages.
Vaccinations
We offer core and non-core vaccinations to protect pets from preventable diseases. Our veterinarians recommend age- and lifestyle-appropriate vaccines, including rabies, distemper, and bordetella. We explain risks, benefits, and timing for each vaccine while emphasizing safety. This service safeguards both individual pets and the broader animal community through responsible immunization practices.
Dental Care
Our dental services include ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and extractions when necessary. We utilize digital radiography for accurate diagnosis and apply OraVet sealants to prevent plaque buildup. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and IV fluids ensure patient safety during procedures. Regular dental cleanings help prevent periodontal disease and systemic health complications in pets.

The staff is friendly and they clearly love animals, but this place is expensive and not very detail oriented. I've had multiple mistakes with being charged for one quantity of medication and getting less or being charged for treatments that were declined.

Dr. Jones is amazing! My puppy has always done well seeing Dr. Jones! Of course she was spayed and now doesnt associate the place with happy thoughts! Dr. Jones was awesome with the visit after being spayed. She could tell my puppy was not thrilled to be there, she was very patient with me and her. She always does what is best for my puppy! Once you find someone great you stick with them! Dr. Jones will always be my go to!

Always so appreciative of the staff expertise and time they spend to ensure my pup is getting the best care. They are always certain to go the extra mile, no matter what may be going on in clinic that day. Couldn't recommend Fort Street more!

Everything about Fort Street Vet is a five star. From the time I took Moses (my cat) into the office through having to make the most difficult decision, the staff were right there to make sure both me and my pet were comfortable and taken care of properly. I truly cannot thank them enough.

I used to like this place but things have changed. They will give you a price and then, when you come in to get your pet the price is substantially higher. It's not unrealistic to have a 50% in crease in your bill from when you speak to them till when you pick your pet up. They used to care about your pets but it seems they only care about your money.

My fiance and I adopted Bella recently and she had already been a patient here so we continued with them and I'm so glad we did! Our poor little old lady had to have her remaining teeth pulled and Dr. Banks and the entire staff were so kind and patient with us as first time dog parents. They took such great care of our little peanut and have been following up to check on her I could not be happier with the care they have given Bella and us!

Extremely rude staff! Waited on hold for about 10 minutes. I had a basic question asking if they could shave cats back area as she keeps getting urine all over her fur. She replied rudely saying there not a grooming salon, which I obviously know. But wanted to take her to an actual vet clinic as I wouldn't trust a groomer to do the job.
