Because pets age the equivalent of 4-7 years for every year of life, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination for dogs and cats under age seven and twice per year for our senior friends. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best:
 

 
Anesthesia:  We utilize the safest anesthetics available to provide an extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high-risk patients. Using the most modern equipment, our patient's vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.  We also require IV catheters and fluid therapy for all our intubated patients.  

Bathing:  Therapeutic bathing services are available.  We have a wide range of medicated shampoos and other products available to meet your pet's individual needs.

Behavioral Counseling:  We can provide advice regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling, and aggression.

Boarding:  We provide boarding as a service to our clients. All boarders receive personal attention from our caring staff. Pets may be dropped off and picked up during regular business hours Monday through Saturday.  All pets must be treated with an approved topical flea control prior to boarding and be up-to-date on all required vaccinations and fecal testing.
