Our pets are living longer lives because of the advances made in treatment of diseases and the importance placed on yearly exams and wellness bloodwork.  Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help detect early serious health problems.  We offer a wide range of veterinary services to optimize your pet's health.


Anesthesia:  We utilize the safest available anesthetic agents to provide the greatest margin of safety, particularly for older patients or those with pre-existing heart, renal, or hepatic disease.  We have a specifically dedicated technician to monitor your pets vital signs manually, during the procedure, and we use monitoring equipment to measure your pets oxygen level and ECG.

Surgical Services:  Our modern surgical suite provides for the performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures.  From elective surgery, such as spay and neuter surgery, to advanced orthopedic surgery, such as cranial cruciate repair, luxating patella repair, and femoral head ostectomy (FHO).  Cases beyond our ability will be referred to a board certified veterinary surgeon.

Dentistry:  Our dental services include teeth scaling and polishing, dental x-rays, surgical tooth extractions, and limited oral surgery.  For root canals or advanced oral surgery we can refer you to a board certified veterinary dentist or a board certified veterinary surgeon.

Radiological Services:  Our on-site radiography equipment provides high quality radiographs to aid in the diagnosis of swallowed foreign bodies, intestinal obstructions, GDV (gastric dilatation volvulus), ileus, and many other disorders.

Internal Medicine:  We have the ability to deal with many common and uncommon internal medical disease processes.  We utilize in-house diagnostic testing, as well as sending samples to our reference laboratory for more complete testing.  We are able to diagnose and treat: diabetes mellitus, ketoacidotic diabetes, chronic and acute renal failure, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, Addison's, Cushing's, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Chronic Colitis, to name a few.  If your pet needs advanced diagnostics (MRI, spinal tap, ultrasound, endoscopy, echocardiography-heart ultrasound) or 24 hours monitoring due to it's critical health status you will be referred to a nearby specialty hospital.

Behavior Counseling:  We can provide advice  regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, and house soiling.  For separation anxiety we can offer in-house consultation with a certified veterinary behaviorist, for a fee specified by the behaviorist.  Aggression problems are referred directly to the veterinary behaviorist due to the intense nature of therapy associated with this problem.

Dietary Counseling:  We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for all stages of life and body condition, including growth, weight maintenance, and weight loss.  We carry a full line of prescription diets to meet your pets needs.

Pain Management:  We are able to provide comprehensive pain management in a variety of circumstances.  All of our surgical patients receive analgesia (pain relief) before beginning, during, and after the surgical procedure.  We utilize the most recent additions to our pharmaceutical army, including non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Rimadyl and Deramaxx, narcotics such as morphine and fentanyl patches and buprenorphine, and local anesthetics such as lidocaine.  We also make sure that medical conditions that cause pain are treated aggressively.  Parvo virus infection can cause severe cramping resulting in extreme pain, these patients are treated

uncompromisingly for their comfort and it has been shown to increase recovery time.  We also realize that as we see older patients the majority of them suffer from arthritis.  To keep their quality of life high we use multi-modal pain management (utilizing multiple classes of medications and nutraceuticals) to keep them as comfortable as possible, for as long as possible.  We are able to treat pain even in the face of renal and hepatic disease, no one deserves to be in pain.

Permanent Identification:  We offer Bayer ResQ microchips, as a way to permanently identify your pet in case they are lost.  Lifetime registration is free and they are ISO standardized, meaning any iso standardized chip reader can detect these chips.

Pharmacy:  We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, prescription shampoos, flea and  tick preventatives, and heartworm preventatives to meet the needs of your pet.
