Services
Pet Dental
Our AAHA-accredited dental services use digital radiography and anesthesia monitoring to treat periodontal disease. We prioritize early intervention through bi-annual exams and bloodwork, addressing hidden dental issues affecting pets' systemic health. Our protocols include pre-anesthetic testing and temperature monitoring during procedures.
Pet Surgery
We perform routine and complex surgeries following AAHA standards, with preoperative bloodwork and IV catheterization. Our team provides continuous vital monitoring, pain management, and postoperative recovery support including temperature regulation and personalized aftercare instructions for home healing.
Integrative Medicine
Combining conventional and alternative treatments, we offer acupuncture, laser therapy, and VSMT for pain management. These research-backed therapies address chronic conditions like arthritis and disc disease, with customized treatment plans incorporating dietary adjustments and traditional medications.
Pain Management
Our multimodal approach combines medication, laser therapy, and acupuncture for chronic and postoperative pain. We create individualized plans using diagnostic imaging and physical exams, focusing on early intervention through wellness checks to prevent progressive discomfort in aging pets.
Diagnostics
In-house lab capabilities enable rapid bloodwork, urinalysis, and fecal testing alongside digital radiography. Our diagnostics focus on identifying root causes through comprehensive panels and imaging, with prudent test selection guided by our locally owned, non-corporate approach to veterinary care.

Spotless facility that accepts Care Credit. These people truly care about me and our dogs. The level of skill and care is exceptional. Dr Nicole, Nicole, and the rest of the team explain everything and answer every question like it's the only question they've been asked all day. Their love, dedication, and patience has gotten our family through some of the scariest days. I love them all more than they know!

The Janesville veterinary clinic East is a fantastic practice that has high quality veterinary Care at a reasonable price. My partner and I actually drive from Madison to this clinic because we feel that the engagement and price from the veterinarians and vet techs is far greater and reasonable. They are always willing to answer questions and will ask you about running a test before they do it and charge you without any consultation. Their dog treats are also fantastic; fresh hot dogs, liver and cheese. A dogs paradise.
