Services 

•Physical Examination:  Because one calendar year is roughly seven to a cat or dog, an annual to semiannual exam is important to keep pets healthy and catch problems while they are still manageable.   Early detection of disease means a better prognosis for treatment.  This is also a very important time for communication between pet owners and veterinarians as preventative information and techniques can be discussed. 

 •Small Animal Vaccinations:  Healthy pets start with a complete series of puppy or kitten vaccinations.  Puppies need first vaccination at 6 weeks and kittens at 9 weeks.  As pets become adults, specific vaccination needs may change.    We will guide you with an appropriate vaccination plan for your pet.  
                                          
•Permanent identification:  We offer microchip identification through Home Again Recovery Services.  In a matter of seconds, a microchip is placed under the skin which will permanently identify you pet should he/she become lost.  The chip contains your pet's identification number which may be read with a hand held scanner.   All animal control professionals, animal shelters and veterinarians have these scanners on hand to help pets find their homes. 
 
•Surgical Services:   Our state-of-the-art surgical suite provides for the performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures.  From the elective spay or neuter to the emergency c-section, we offer comprehensive surgical care. 
    
•Anesthesia:   We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide an extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high-risk patients.  Using the most modern equipment, the patient's vital signs (heart rate, respirations, and O₂ Saturation) are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.

•Imaging Services:  Our on-site, digital radiography equipment provides high quality radiographs (x-rays) to aid in the quick diagnosis of many disorders.  Digital technology allows for transmission of radiographs via the internet to the Veterinary Imaging Center where board certified radiologists can review special cases.  We also have ultrasound capability which gives information radiographs cannot.  Ultrasound shows the finer details of organs and allows diagnosis of lesions only centimeters in size.  
   
•Dentistry:  Dental health is extremely important as vital organs are potentially at risk.   Pets' hearts, lungs, kidneys, and other organs may acquire an infection from bacteria in the mouth.  Tartar traps this bacteria and is continuously exposing the body to infection.  Our dental services include ultrasonic scaling, to remove tartar, followed by a thorough polishing to  prevent tartar deposition.   After your pet's teeth are pearly white (and breath fresh), we will help you with a tartar prevention plan right for you and your pet.
