Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams include nose-to-tail physical assessments, preventive care planning, and lifestyle-specific vaccinations. We monitor vital signs, dental health, and organ function to detect early signs of disease. Tailored to each pet's age and medical history, these exams establish baseline health metrics and preventive strategies.
Pet Vaccinations
We provide core and non-core vaccinations tailored to your pet's risk factors. Our protocols protect against rabies, distemper, and lifestyle-specific diseases like Lyme or feline leukemia. We combine medical necessity with individualized risk assessment to create optimal vaccination schedules for puppies, kittens, and adult pets.
Dental Care
Our dental services include professional cleanings, digital X-rays, and extractions when needed. We use advanced imaging to diagnose subgingival issues and perform non-invasive treatments with laser technology. Preventive education focuses on home care techniques and diet modifications to maintain oral health.
Orthopedic Surgery
We offer femoral head ostectomy and amputation procedures using pre-anesthetic bloodwork and laser technology. Our approach combines pain management with post-operative rehabilitation planning. Each case receives individualized surgical planning based on diagnostic imaging and mobility assessments.
Allergy Treatment
Our allergy management includes environmental testing, medication protocols, and immunotherapy options. We utilize Cytopoint injections and medicated baths to address both acute symptoms and long-term immune responses. Treatment plans integrate dietary adjustments and flea prevention strategies for comprehensive relief.

Everyone in the office is so kind and professional, they make you feel like family. You can tell they care about you and your fur baby so much! They tell you everything that is going on with your pet and they are not as expensive as other vets.

I could not be happier with my experience at All Aboard. From the front desk to the vet technician to the Doctor the service and care Gorda received was top notch. I've been looking for a vet for a long time and y'all checked all the boxes. I highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of a vet. Thanks guys!

This hospital has been SO accommodating, patient and helpful! I had a community cat with a leg injury and they were willing to assist me. They were up front about cost, communicated my options clearly, and was patient with my questions. Dr. Mcallister assisted us in our second visit, and he was just the same! Shannon was wonderful as well, and helped make an unpleasant day much better. Thank you all! Will be taking my personal cats here from now on.
