Services
Surgery
We perform sterilization, soft tissue, and orthopedic surgeries using safe gas anesthesia. Our surgical services address injuries, chronic conditions, and preventive care needs. Post-operative recovery includes pain management and acupuncture support.
Acupuncture
Certified veterinarians administer acupuncture to treat medical conditions and aid post-surgery recovery. This noninvasive therapy reduces pain and inflammation while improving mobility. Treatments complement traditional medical approaches.
Laser Therapy
Noninvasive laser treatments reduce pain and inflammation while accelerating healing. This drug-free option benefits pets with arthritis, injuries, or post-surgical recovery needs. Sessions require no sedation or special preparation.
Wellness Exams
Annual wellness examinations detect early signs of health issues in dogs and cats. Our veterinarians assess weight, dental health, organ function, and behavioral changes during comprehensive physical exams. Preventative care plans are customized based on exam findings.
After-Hours Care
Emergency services operate through partnerships with local specialty hospitals after regular business hours. Our doctors provide information calls and urgent care referrals for critical conditions requiring immediate attention outside normal operating hours.

Best vet around. We travel for work. Sometimes states away. But we will always come back to Chappelle for our pet's care.

This clinic cares so much about you and your pets. The clinical care the very talented team at Chappelle provide is always exceptional. I really like the nail trimming with each visit and I appreciate the time every staff member is willing to spend with me answering questions about my dog and their health.

Took two 8 week puppies in with severe diarrhea and a fecal sample. They outsource samples to another lab! Sent me home with a case (12 cans) of prescription food and a box of probiotics. When asked how much to feed them, I was told to go on Purina's website and look it up. As for the probiotics, the tech said to sprinkle "some" on the food. Nothing more specific than that. They said to feed the canned food for three days yet sold me a case. Not impressed with the quality of customer service or professionalism.

Visited on 1/12/22 for the first time. Had a cat that unfortunatly did not make it. The staff and vet were very sensitive about the matter and I don't think they could have handled it better. Their pricing was very fair and they did not insist on services that didn't seem necessary. Will use again and would recommend. Thank you for your care in our time of loss. D

I have been taking my animals here for the past 15 years. Dr. Suto is awesome! When any of my babies has had a procedure, from teeth cleaning to cancer removal, he has called to tell me what he found & what the continuing treatment was if needed or not. Very thankful for a great vets office, my fur babies are the most important to me!
