A veterinarian is available for routine wellness exams and annual checkups. These visits help keep pets healthy by checking for any early signs of illness and making sure vaccines are current. Regular exams are an important part of preventive care, so you can schedule them to stay on top of your pet’s health.

Spay and neuter surgeries are available here. The procedure helps prevent unwanted litters and has health benefits for your pet, like reducing the risk of certain cancers and preventing some behavior problems. These surgeries are done by our veterinarian in a safe, clean environment, and your pet is closely monitored throughout the process. If you have questions or want to know if your pet is ready for spay or neuter, just give us a call or ask during your visit.

Puppies should start getting vaccinations when they’re about 6 to 8 weeks old. Important shots for puppies include distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, and usually a combo vaccine called DHPP. Rabies is also required by law and usually given at around 12 to 16 weeks old. Kittens should start their vaccines at roughly the same age—between 6 and 8 weeks. Key shots for kittens are FVRCP (which covers feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia) and rabies. Your vet will set up a booster schedule so your pet gets full protection as they grow. Some pets may also need extra vaccines based on their lifestyle or if they go outside a lot.

Pet dental cleaning is available and almost always requires anesthesia. This helps keep your pet still and comfortable, so the vet can thoroughly clean under the gums and around each tooth. Anesthesia also helps prevent stress or pain during the cleaning. The vet will check your pet’s health before using anesthesia to make sure it’s safe.

  4. Surgery (Routine, Emergency, & Orthopedic)

    Before your pet undergoes surgery, we conduct a thorough examination and a pre-surgical blood screen. This evaluation takes into account their anesthetic history, breed, health conditions, and age to create a customized anesthesia plan and establish a baseline for future reference.

    We recognize that pain can impact pets both physically and emotionally, potentially affecting their recovery and behavior.

    Recovery times vary; some pets may stay overnight, while others can go home the same day. We’ll provide clear home care and medication instructions, and we’re available for any questions once your pet is back home.

  5. Urgent and Emergency Care

    The easiest answer as to whether you should seek emergency care for your pet is when you feel his or her medical condition is serious and cannot wait. However, we offer the following general situations to help you determine if you need to seek emergency care for your pet:

    • Difficulty breathing
    • Acute abdominal swelling
    • Electric shock
    • Excessive vomiting or diarrhea
