Veterinary Services
Our comprehensive veterinary services include preventative care, diagnostics, and treatment for cats and dogs. With five experienced veterinarians, we provide wellness exams, vaccinations, and chronic condition management. The hospital features an in-house laboratory, digital radiography, and ultrasound capabilities for accurate diagnoses.
Pet Boarding
Camp Wagon Tails offers secure, comfortable boarding with climate-controlled kennels and supervised play areas. Separate accommodations for cats, small dogs, and large breeds ensure pet safety. Pre-temperament testing determines appropriate playgroups while carbon monoxide detection systems maintain air quality throughout the facility.
Pet Grooming
Professional grooming services include baths, haircuts, nail trimming, and anal gland expression in a low-stress environment. Our staff handles pets gently using positive reinforcement techniques. Medicated baths are available under veterinary supervision while the full-service package includes fragrance spritzing and optional blueberry facials.
Laser Therapy
K-Laser therapy provides non-invasive pain relief for arthritis, joint pain, and post-surgical recovery. This drug-free treatment reduces inflammation while stimulating cellular repair processes. Most patients require 3-8 sessions with noticeable improvement typically seen after 3 treatments. The therapy helps increase mobility and comfort for pets with chronic conditions.
Acupuncture
Veterinary acupuncture involves strategic needle placement to address pain and systemic imbalances. This complementary treatment works through nerve stimulation and improved blood circulation. Our certified practitioners use acupuncture for musculoskeletal issues, neurological conditions, and chronic pain management in cats and dogs.

I'm not saying the staff are not knowledgeable. But I didn't feel the level of attention to detail, of care, that I am used to where we lived previously. We decided to take our pets to another place.

I was just with a friend but they wanted to Give shots to board. My friends dogs have had their shots so my friend op-ed to take her dogs to their usual vet. But I felt they were trying to protect dogs already there and be responsible vets.

Don't go here. My dog had a "fatty tumor" on her side and we switched her vets and they actually tested it and it's cancer. For over a year and a half it's been on her. Thank y'all so much for not testing or doing anything about it. So ridiculous.

Dr Steven's and his staff are the very best. The have emergency visits built in to their day so when I showed up at 730 am with a very sick dog they took us right back and gave us the very best care. We were able to stay in the exam room while waiting for test results which was more comfortable my hurting little guy. They always follow up to check progress and my call are always returned. I also called in an update and refills on medicine that was filled and ready the next day. Almost wish I were a dog their care is so good!
