Services

  • Regular Health Examinations:  Annual physical exams are important to maintain the health of your pet and to detect problems as early as possible. As our pets age we recommend examinations and laboratory testing twice yearly.

  • Vaccinations: Routine vaccinations are one of the best ways to protect the health of your pet. We use only well-tested combinations of vaccines to protect against the most serious diseases in our area. Each pet is evaluated for the appropriate vaccinations needed.  After the routine puppy and kitten series of vaccinations and the one year booster shots we recommend alternating vaccines, vaccinating every three years or periodically performing vaccine titers to assess your pets immune status and need for vaccinations.

  • Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services:  Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services which includes electrocardiography, ultrasonography, echocardiography, gastrointestinal endoscopy and laparoscopy. Laparoscopy utilizes rigid fiberoptic scopes to visualise internal organs in the chest and abdominal cavities and obtain biopsy samples. We offer on-site consultations with a board-certified cardiologist as well as referral to other specialists in dermatology, opthalmology, oncology and neurology when deemed necessary.

  • Surgical Services:  Our state-of-the-art surgical suite provides for the performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures.We offer conventional surgery as well as laser surgery and electrosurgery for specific procedures. Laparoscopic surgery (also called minimally invasive surgery) is available for select procedures. When necessary we utilize a board-certified surgeon  for complicated surgical cases.

  • Anesthesia:  We utilize the safest injectable and inhalant anesthetics to provide that extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high risk patients. Using the most modern equipment, the patient's vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures and all anesthetised patients are maintained on intravenous fluids.

  • Radiology Services:  Our on-site, modern digital radiology equipment provides high quality radiographs to aid in the diagnosis of many disorders and allows us to easily consult with a board certified radiologist as needed via telemedicine.  We can refer you and your pet for advanced imaging studies such as CT Scan and MRI when necessary as well as referral for radiation therapy.

  • Laboratory:  The majority of our laboratory testing  is performed by a commercial veterinary laboratory with twice-a-day specimen pickup.  Most results are available within 24 hours. Our in-house laboratory facilities provide for same-day serum chemistry, hematology, cytology, parasite testing and screening for many infectious diseases.

  • Pharmacy:  We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, supplements, shampoos, heartworm preventatives and parasite treatments to meet the needs of your pet.

  • Dentistry:  Our dental services include teeth cleaning and polishing, digital dental radiology, tooth extractions and oral surgery.  We distinguish ourselves from many animal hospitals in that only our veterinarians do the oral surgery including extractions.

  • Individualized Flea and Tick 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 and ticks in your house, in your yard and on your pet.

  • Dietary Counseling:  We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance, performance and special medical conditions.

  • Behavioral Counseling:  We can provide advice regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling and aggression. If necessary we also refer you to behavior specialists (both veterinary and nonveterinary) as necessary.
