General Surgery and Dentistry

We routinely perform spays and neuters, mass removals, abdominal exploratories, and emergency surgeries. When your pet needs orthopedic surgery, we have a surgeon who visits us for these procedures. All patients are assessed before surgery with an exam and blood work, and are monitored carefully throughout the procedure. We strongly believe in proper pain management during and after procedures as well.

Just as your dentist recommends yearly check ups and hygienic cleanings, we recommend the same for your pet. We use similar methods to clean your pet’s teeth, while your pet is safely under anesthesia with continuous monitoring. Did you know that most feline dental disease happens under the gums, hidden from view? We will thoroughly check your pet’s mouth for signs of decay and disease, take dental X-rays, and follow up with instructions on how to brush your pet’s teeth.

Nutrition and Weight Management

Diet is of vital importance to your pet’s health. We have extensive experience in pet nutrition and can advise you on the best nutritional practices for your pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s weight management, special dietary needs, or nutritional balance, we are here to advise you on options you have. We offer counseling in dietary selection and feeding practices for pets during various life stages, such as growth, pregnancy, nursing, and the “golden years.” If your pet has a medical condition, we can help you select the most appropriate diet to suit your pet’s needs. If you prefer to cook for your pet, we can help make sure the diet is nutritionally complete and balanced. Ask us about nutrition when you come in for your next visit, or make an appointment specifically for nutritional consulting. We would love to help!

Pain Management

The practice of high-quality veterinary medicine focuses on the entire patient – from medical issues that affect physical functioning, to emotional and psychological issues that influence well-being. That’s why pain management is among our primary considerations when we are treating a pet for any medical condition. We feel that recognizing and alleviating pain in our patients is at the very heart of quality and compassionate patient care. From routine procedures to chronically painful conditions, we are dedicated to providing safe and effective pain management to every patient. We will also help you recognize signs of pain in your pet so that we can modify his or her pain management plan when necessary.

Hospice Care and Euthanasia

This is never an easy subject for most people. We will help guide you to the best choice for your pet, with gentle discussions about quality of life, pain management, and when is the best time to let go. We are firm believers in compassionate euthanasia that is pain and stress-free, and we do our very best to help make those last moments as comfortable as possible for you and your beloved pet. We offer both in-home and in-clinic euthanasia, and we employ a service that offers private and group cremation.

Pharmacy

Both you and your pet can benefit from our well-stocked pharmacy. We maintain a fairly large inventory of veterinary pharmaceutical products and medications, including flea, tick, and heartworm preventive products. You can rely on us whether your pet requires medication for a chronic medical condition or needs short-term medication while recovering from an illness, injury, or surgery. When you purchase medications from our pharmacy, you can know for certain that your pet’s medications were obtained from safe, reliable sources and stored under optimal conditions. Our trained staff will fill your prescriptions with care as well as attention to detail and your pet’s specific needs.

You can count on us to provide you with accurate information about your pet’s medications, including proper dosing information, alert you to any potential drug side effects or interactions, and answer any questions you may have. We are also here if you experience any problems with your pet’s medication after you return home. In the event that we don’t have something on hand that you need, we can usually find it for you. And if at any time you choose to purchase your pet’s medication elsewhere, we will provide a written prescription on request. We do ask that you give us at least 24 hours notice to fill any prescription, in order to provide you with the best possible service.
