Our team follows the guidance of leading scientific research-based organizations such as the American Academy of Feline Practitioners, the American Animal Hospital Association, the American Heartworm Society and the Companion Animal Parasite Council to make the best recommendations for your pet.

Dental care is of the utmost importance for your pet. Dental disease is painful, can cause other severe systemic infections, and can be a quality of life issue. Many dogs and cats have significant dental disease by the time they are three. Utilizing dental radiography, we perform a wide variety of dental procedures including prophylactic ultrasonic scaling, periodontal therapies, extractions, and oral surgery. We will also teach you how to care for your pet’s teeth at home by daily brushing, dental treats, chews, and topical products. Puppies and kittens are also evaluated throughout their wellness visits for dental problems such as bite abnormalities, delayed eruption, missing teeth, and retained baby teeth.

We love puppies and kittens! We want to build a lifelong bond with your new pet and work hard to build good memories as your pet visits the hospital. Puppies and kittens get lots of gentle handling and food rewards to allow thorough physical examinations while avoiding fear and anxiety. Vaccinations will be given with an individualized approach. We can help to work through common puppy and kitten behavioral training issues as well as provide advice on an appropriate diet, spaying and neutering and dental care.

We understand the fear that is often involved when your pet requires anesthesia. We take every precaution including thorough pre-anesthetic screening and evaluation using bloodwork, ECG and radiographs, human-grade anesthetics and individualized anesthesia protocols, advanced anesthesia monitoring including ECG, oxygenation, temperature, and blood pressure by dedicated veterinary staff and heat and intravenous fluid support of to ensure the safety of your pet.

We believe that permanent identification of your pet through microchipping is the best chance your pet has if they become lost. Microchips are approximately the size of a grain of rice and are implanted under the skin over the shoulders. When scanned, they provide a unique identifying number that, when registered, provides the finders contact information that can help to get your pet back to you.

We offer indoor boarding for dogs, cats, and pocket pets. Dogs are walked several times per day in our outdoor exercise runs and are supplied with soft bedding during their stays. Additional play sessions are available. Cats are housed in comfortable condo cages with soft beds, cozy houses, and cage covers. We also use Feliway pheromones to help calm our feline patients. We love having special needs patients board with us and are happy to administer medications, injections, provide advanced nursing care for geriatric patients or additional care for patients with conditions that require isolation.

We ask pet owners to provide their pet’s own diet for their stay to minimize gastrointestinal upset, but provide sensitive stomach dry food if it’s needed. All boarding patients are monitored twice daily for appetite, urination, and defecation. Patients also receive a technician examination daily to identify problems that may arise during their boarding stay. All dog boarding stays include a bath and nail trim, if desired.

We sell a variety of prescription diets to assist in the management of your pet’s medical illness. Our hospital carries Royal Canin, Hill’s Science Diet, and Purina Veterinary diets. We also provide ship-to-home and auto-ship services for Hill’s and Purina diets.

Digital radiography and ultrasound can be quite helpful in the diagnosis of many health problems. Radiographs allow the evaluation of bone structures and soft tissue structures in your pet. Ultrasound uses sound waves to painlessly evaluate your pet’s internal organs. Results are available quickly and samples can be taken of problem areas, often in the same procedure. Many pets allow ultrasound and radiography without anesthesia or sedation. Ultrasound can also be used to monitor pregnancy.

Controlling your pet’s pain is of the utmost importance. Pain is never helpful and individualized pain management that maintains and improves your pet’s wellbeing and comfort is a priority. We utilize a variety of techniques including oral medications, injectable medications, constant infusions, local nerve blocks, and topical patches.
