Our Services
BATHING
Treat your pet to a luxurious bath. Our special, cleansing baths remove dirt, debris and that doggie pet odor – your pet will feel fresh and revitalized. If scratching is a problem, our medicated baths contain soothing agents that stop the itching. Services also include nail trim and ear cleaning.
BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE
Illness doesn’t always have a physical cause. Our veterinarians can help determine the cause of such disorders as separation anxiety and obsessive behavior, and then develop a treatment regimen for you. If necessary, we can refer you to a veterinary specialist or trainer.
BRONCHOSCOPY
High-tech fiber optics permits direct visual examination of your pet’s respiratory system. This allows for more accurate diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the nasal cavity, trachea and lungs.
DENTAL CARE
Dental disease hurts! Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet’s teeth and general health. We provide dental care to allow your pet to live a healthier and more comfortable life. We use modern and safe ultrasound to clean each tooth thoroughly – above and below the gum line. Dental technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup. Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity.
ENDOSCOPY
High-tech fiber optics permits direct visual examination and biopsies of your pet’s gastrointestinal system. This allows for more accurate diagnosis and treatment of oral, esophageal, stomach, colon and even upper intestinal tract disease. Foreign objects can also be removed without the need for surgery.

PAIN MANAGEMENT
Veterinary patients feel pain and discomfort under the same circumstances as people do. We know that recognizing and alleviating pain in animals is the essence of good patient care. We provide pain-free surgical procedures, via pre-emptive (pre-op) pain medications, local nerve blocks (local anesthesia), peri-operative intravenous constant rate infusions, and post-op oral medications. We also prescribe medication for pets with chronic pain due to conditions such as cancer or arthritis.
RADIOLOGY
Radiology – or X-rays – help our veterinarians evaluate muscular-skeletal, cardiovascular (cardiopulmonary), gastrointestinal, reproductive and urinary systems.

Sometimes conditions arise that require veterinarians with specialized training. We can arrange to have specialists come to our practice for consultations, or refer you to a specialty practice in the area.
