Routine Visits

We like it best when we can be introduced to your pet for a routine physical. That way, a health baseline is established, and any changes in health or behavior can be monitored on future visits. The comprehensive physical will include a hands-on evaluation, and could include lab work or x-rays if needed. Teeth and gums will be checked and cleaned if necessary. If you have a written medical history for your pet, we encourage you to bring it to the first visit. If a written history isn’t available, we will take an oral history from you. We will update any vaccinations that are due to your pet. Comprehensive examinations like these are the best way to keep pets healthy, find health issues early, and manage them properly.

Emergency Care

There will probably be times between routine visits that fall under the category of emergency care. Sickness, poison, and broken bones, among other concerns, call for immediate action. Our veterinary staff stands ready to accommodate any emergencies that arise during their business hours. For any emergencies outside those hours, we have relationships with other veterinarians and pet hospitals in the area, and we will promptly refer you to them.

Surgical Intervention

We offer many types of surgery for your pet, including routine spaying and neutering, emergency surgery, orthopedic surgery, dental surgery, and biopsies. We are qualified to administer and carefully monitor anesthesia, assuring the safety and comfort of your pet.

Specialty Care

We all want what is best for your pet. There may be times that we refer your pet to a specialist to evaluate a serious illness. We know how to find the appropriate veterinarians for various illnesses and will put you in touch with them.
