Our doctors are committed to providing your pets with the very best preventive and wellness care available. They attend continuing education meeting regularly, stay up to date with the veterinary journals and consult on cases on a daily basis.

By the age of 3, more than 80% of pets have some degree of dental disease. Scaling, cleaning and polishing of your pets teeth is done under general anesthesia and takes approximately 30 minutes in a basically healthy mouth. Antibiotics are administered before and continued after the procedure. Owners are encouraged to use preventative products at home, of which a wide number are available. We can help you develop a home care routine that you and your pet can enjoy. Consistent oral care will extend the life of your pet.

For your convenience, you may drop your pets off any weekday morning after 7:00 AM and pick up any time before closing. Your pet will be cared for throughout the day for routine care or urgent need exams. We only ask that you be available to us by phone throughout the day, if needed.

Getting your pet professional groomed helps to prevent shedding, skin and paw conditions, and can catch other problems that go unnotied. A professional groom will keep your pet happy, healthy, and looking sharp!

With these capabilities, pre-anesthetic blood work screening is completed quickly and efficiently prior to any type of surgery.

Eighty percent of all x-rays can be done in less than 20 minutes while you wait. Our high speed xray unit and automatic processor makes the procedure easy for staff and your pet.

Our boarding area consists of separate indoor facilities for cats and dogs. Exotics and pocket pets are welcomed as well and are housed in quiet areas of the hospital.

If circumstances require a doctor to come to your pet, please feel free to call for that service. If additional treatment or hospitalization is needed, the doctor can bring your pet back to the hospital.

If you or our doctors feel your pet needs more advanced diagnostics or specialized treatment or surgery, be assured you will be referred to a specialist in the area. Your pet’s health is, as always, our number one concern.
