PAW Wellness Plans
Our Pet Annual Wellness Plans provide comprehensive preventive care tailored to your pet's life stage. These plans help manage routine healthcare needs while mitigating unexpected costs through structured budgeting. By focusing on early disease detection and preventive treatments, we help extend your pet's healthy lifespan while making veterinary care more financially predictable for owners.
TPLO Surgery
Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy addresses cruciate ligament injuries in dogs through advanced surgical stabilization. This procedure prevents permanent joint damage by restoring knee functionality and relieving pain. Our board-certified surgeons use specialized equipment to perform this complex procedure with precision, ensuring optimal recovery outcomes for canine patients with knee instability.
Fear Free Services
Fear Free-certified care implements specialized techniques to minimize anxiety during veterinary visits. Our trained staff uses gentle handling methods, calming pheromones, and positive reinforcement strategies to create positive medical experiences. This approach benefits pets with anxiety, past trauma, or sensitivity to clinical environments while improving diagnostic accuracy through reduced stress responses.
Dental Care
Comprehensive dental services include annual oral exams, professional cleanings, and periodontal treatments. We utilize digital dental radiography to identify hidden oral health issues and provide scaling, polishing, and extractions as needed. Preventive care focuses on maintaining oral hygiene to prevent systemic infections that can affect major organ systems in companion animals.
End of Life Care
Compassionate euthanasia services support pet owners during difficult end-of-life decisions. We provide private consultation spaces, gentle handling techniques, and bereavement resources to help families cope with pet loss. Our team focuses on maintaining patient comfort through pain management strategies while offering emotional support to owners throughout the transition process.

We love Advanced Pet Care! We've been patients here for over 4 years and have had nothing but positive experiences. All the doctors on staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. The vet techs are personable and incredibly patient, our 6 yr old dog Addie has a lot of nervous energy and they do their best to make it as easy as they can on her. We also have a mini holland lop, they were amazing with her.
They did her spay in 2021 and it was a great experience. Having a vet that can take care of all our our babies is so great! Recently we had an emergency situation and they got us in asap, the same day actually. The paw plan they offer is very affordable for our pets routine maintenance as well as gives us discounts on things we choose to do outside of routine things. We love the staff and know they're only a phone call away.

Recently had our dog Homer treated at Advanced Pet Care. We have been going there for over a year, but this was the first time we went inside, as previously Covid protocols were in place. The level of attention and care was outstanding. Highly recommended.

Love this vet. They were so kind and loving for my daughter's emotional support pup. I know that's their job, but they went above and beyond. They are affordable and in a great Clarkston location.

Our puppy was neutered at Advanced Pet Care of Oakland. We were very apprehensive about doing the procedure. "Zack" answered all of our questions and calmed our fears. The clinic took very good care of our puppy and he is healing very well. We were called right away when he was in recovery and received clear instructions regarding his after care. Our visits to the clinic have always been positive and the receptionists are always friendly and helpful. I always receive follow up texts and emails and someone is always available if we have questions or concerns. Glad we chose this clinic for our new puppy.

The staff treated my senior cat and us as a family with such dignity and respect. This was the second kitty I had to put down and I felt like I was at a funeral. A quiet room with as much time as we needed. Not just a shot in the exam room and boom you're out. It was all very private and in your own time. Thank you, Advanced care and staff!
