Services
General Surgery
Our surgical services prioritize patient safety through pre-anesthetic bloodwork, monitored anesthesia, and post-operative care. We perform routine procedures like spays and neuters, along with complex soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries. Advanced equipment including heated surgery tables and ECG monitors ensures optimal patient comfort and safety during operations. All surgical patients receive personalized aftercare instructions and follow-up evaluations.
Wellness Exams
Comprehensive wellness exams detect early signs of disease through physical examinations and diagnostic testing. Our blood panels assess organ function, thyroid levels, and blood sugar while checking for infections and anemia. Early detection enables timely interventions like dietary changes or medication to prevent serious health issues. We recommend annual exams for adult pets and bi-annual checkups for seniors.
Dentistry
We provide professional dental cleanings and oral health assessments to prevent periodontal disease. Our services address tartar buildup, gum inflammation, and tooth decay that can lead to systemic infections. Treatment includes ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and extractions when necessary. We also offer home care guidance for maintaining oral hygiene between professional cleanings.
Parasite Control
Our parasite control programs protect against heartworm, fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms through customized prevention plans. We offer monthly preventatives like Heartgard and Nexgard while conducting regular fecal exams for adult pets. Treatment protocols address specific infestations with species-appropriate medications, emphasizing year-round protection against vector-borne diseases.
Microchipping
We implant permanent microchips between pets' shoulder blades for reliable identification. Using Save This Life technology, our microchips enable rapid reunification through global database access. The quick, minimally invasive procedure requires no sedation and provides lifelong security. We handle registration with Save This Life to ensure complete information in their recovery system.

I called this place ahead of time to find out how much it would be for a physical for my dog who was very ill. She told me $55 when I was done with the vet they told me it was $243 I didn't have that much money that's why I called ahead to make sure I had enough they threatened to have me arrested because I couldn't pay the bill till tomorrow when I called to make sure I had enough they stole from me it was the other way around and the lady kept threatening me telling me I needed to come down but she was threatening me don't ever go to this place stay away from there hateful

Today was my first time here. I went on a referral from a co-worker. My puppy and I had a great experience! They listened to my concerns and were knowledgeable. I can't remember the vets name but it was a man. Very down to earth, knowledgeable, a real animal lover and patient. The vet tech was great too she explained everything and wasnt in a rush. We will be back!

The staff and vets here are amazing. We had two very sick dogs and they meet with us each time we came in with compassion and treatment options. When we had to cross each one over the bridge the compassion they showed helped. We will always recommend them to anyone looking for a vet.

I switched to this vet after a well funded vet office (rhymes with oar jaws) wouldn't see my dog after a trauma incident, even though we had multiple visits and two loved animals put down there. They treated my Violet like a princess despite the fact they were busy as hell! I praise all of the women working here for their professionalism, hard work, and love of animals that they have. You rock BAC!

I specifically requested to get the next 3 months of shots and tests done for my dog and was told she was up to date. I did this because I am out of state. I was told "they're fine" Now I find out one is a month behind for her rabies and the other has to start her bordatello process all over again because this clinic failed to tell me what was due, despite me specifically going out of my way to ask. The staffs negligence has cost me time, money, and the safety of my animals.

I love this place and so does my dogs. They are very respectful and kind towards me and my dogs. My beagle has had a lot of issues in the past few months and they have gone far and beyond to schedule him in and make sure he is ok. 10/10 would recommend.
