Services
 

We stress the importance of regular physical examination - annually for younger patients, and twice per year for older pets. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. We offer a wide range of preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best:

  
Surgical Services:  Our state-of-the-art surgical suite provides for the performance of a variety of soft tissue and orthopedic surgical procedures.  When appropriate, we utilize LASER surgery to increase patient comfort, decrease bleeding and quicken recovery times.

Anesthesia:  We utilize the safest available anesthetic agents and protocols to provide an extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high-risk patients. The patient's vital signs (ECG, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate) are monitored during all anesthetic procedures using the most modern equipment as well as a dedicated, licensed technician to constantly monitor each patient until fully awake.  There is no substitute for the human touch - it is important that our medical team monitors each patient manually in addition to high-tech monitoring equipment.  We also use medical grade warm-air and warm-water patient warming devices to maintain pet comfort and body temperature.
    
Radiology/Imaging Services:  Our on-site, modern X-ray and ultrasound equipment provides high quality diagnostic imaging to aid in the quick diagnosis of many disorders.
   
Electrocardiography Services:  We provide ECG services on-site as well as consultations with cardiology specialists.
   
Dentistry:  Our dental services include teeth cleaning (manual and ultrasonic scaling) and polishing, tooth extractions, and oral surgery.  In addition, we can help you develop a home-care plan for the best oral health possible!
   
Laboratory:  Our in-house laboratory facilities provide for cytology, serum chemistry, hematology, serology, urinalysis and parasite testing. We also utilize commercial and academic veterinary reference laboratories for specialized diagnostics and consultations.
    
Permanent identification: We offer HomeAgain microchip identification.
    
Pharmacy:  We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, vitamins/supplements, shampoos, flea and tick control products and heartworm preventatives to meet the needs of your pet. We also carry a full line of prescription diets.
   
Individualized Ectoparasite (Fleas, Ticks, etc.) Control Programs:  We develop programs for the specific needs of your pet and your own particular environmental situation. We will review with you the best ways to control fleas in your house, in your yard and on your pet.

Nutritional Counseling:  We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, maintenance, weight loss and performance.  Patient's experiencing medical problems frequently have different metabolic needs - we'll help you feed a diet appropriate for your pet's medical condition.
    
Behavioral Counseling:  We can provide advice regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling and aggression.

Bathing:  Routine and therapeutic bathing services are available.

Emergency Care:  During normally staffed operating hours, we prioritize urgent or emergency cases when necessary.  Additional fees may apply to these situations.  When our doctors are not available, two local emergency clinics serve our clients.  Please call our main telephone number for instructions for after-hour emergencies.
