Vaccination
Pet insurance is one way to help. It reimburses owners for a part of, or the whole, veterinary bill for injured or ill patients. Some plans cover times when pets are lost or stolen. Some even help when pets die. As medical costs continue to grow, more owners are looking for pet insurance plans that cover preventative medicine, including examinations and vaccinations.
Comprehensive Examination
Many life-threatening diseases in animals can be prevented with regular examinations and vaccinations. Puppies and kittens should be seen regularly between the ages of 8 and 16 weeks. They require repeated vaccines, fecal testing, and physical exams to detect any developing problems.
We have a complete veterinary pharmacy on hand including antibiotics, ear medications, thyroid medication, heartworm preventative and flea and tick control. If you prefer the convenience of ordering online, we have an online pharmacy. We offer this through one of our distributors so we can monitor quality and address any problems or reactions if they occur. We also work with a veterinary compounding pharmacy to get specially flavored medications or transdermal (applied to the skin) for those hard-to-medicate animals.
Pain Management
We use cutting edge pain management to ensure that every animal is as comfortable as possible. All animals go home the same day as their procedure as soon as they are alert enough to walk around and eat and drink. request an appointment
Whether congenital and hereditary conditions are covered. These include hip dysplasia, heart defects, and similar problems.
Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
We carry a variety of prescription foods from Hill’s, Purina, and Royal Canin. Some of the diseases that are treated in part with diet are kidney failure, diabetes, urinary tract disease, skin allergies and thyroid disease. If we don’t have the diet you need, you can either get it at our online pharmacy or we can special order it for you. request an appointment
Heart Disease Treatment
We are committed to providing the safest anesthesia possible. We always do a thorough physical exam prior to anesthesia to be sure that no new problems have arisen since your pet’s last appointment. We highly recommend pre-operative blood work, especially for the older animals; to be sure there are no underlying problems that may interfere with anesthesia. There is a veterinary technician at the side of each animal during their surgical procedure. An IV catheter is placed prior to surgery to give medications and fluids during the procedure. Each animal’s vitals are closely monitored – which include ECG, blood pressure, blood oxygen and breathing rate. In addition to safety, pain management during and after surgery are a high priority.

We have a fully equipped, up-to-date laboratory in-house where we can do white/red cell counts, evaluate liver and kidney function, check thyroid levels and more. We also send blood work to a local outside lab if we need more specialized testing.
