Boarding
Our boarding facility provides safe, comfortable accommodations for pets when owners travel. Each kennel maintains climate control with regular exercise periods and personalized care. Staff members monitor boarded pets' health while administering any required medications.
Grooming
Professional grooming services maintain pets' coat health and hygiene through bathing, nail trimming, and coat styling. Regular grooming prevents skin issues while identifying potential health concerns early. Our groomers accommodate various breed-specific requirements.
Dentistry
Annual dental cleanings and exams prevent periodontal disease through ultrasonic scaling and polishing. We address tooth extractions, oral infections, and dental trauma while providing home care guidance for maintaining oral health between visits.
Vaccinations
Customized vaccination protocols protect pets against infectious diseases based on age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Our core vaccines include rabies, distemper, and parvovirus for dogs, and feline leukemia for cats.
Surgery
We perform soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries for medical conditions ranging from spaying/neutering to fracture repairs. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork and monitoring equipment ensure surgical safety while post-operative care includes pain management and follow-up exams.

My Boston came in for a recheck after a terrible eye infection. The staff -front desk to back behind the closed doors- are the best!

Emergency appointment as dog likes to eat porcupine at night. Friendly, timely staff stayed past hours to help us out. Even threw in a nail trim as we normally have to make a special appointment for this (dog loves facefull of porcupine but won't let anyone touch his nails.) THANK YOU!
