Services 

Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination.  We also believe that our geriatric patients can benefit from twice-yearly exams.  Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best:

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services:  Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.  With an ultrasound unit and a flexible microendoscope, many diseases can be diagnosed without invasive procedures.
      
Surgical Services:  Our modern surgical suite provides for the performance of a wide variety of orthopedic and soft tissue surgical procedures.
   
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 are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.
    
Radiology Services:  Our digital x-ray equipment provides high quality radiographs to aid in the quick diagnosis of many disorders.  Digital x-rays are able to be emailed to specialists for quick and easy consultation.  X-rays can also be emailed to you at home or a disc sent with you for your viewing convenience.
   
Dentistry:  Our dental services include comprehensive oral exams before and during anesthesia, teeth cleaning and polishing, dental x-rays, tooth extractions and minor oral surgery.  With our IM3 high speed dental unit and digital dental x-rays, we can provide state-of-the-art care for your pet's dental needs, including ferrets, rabbits and rodents.

Individualized Parasite 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 other parasites in your house, in your yard and on your pet.  We carry Advantage, Advantix, Promeris, Frontline, Comfortis, and Capstar, as well as combination flea and heartworm prevention such as Revolution, Sentinel and Advantage Multi.

Dietary Counseling:  We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance and performance.  We are pleased to offer Science Diet, Eukanuba, Orijen, Hill's Prescription Diets, and a limited number of Purina Prescription Diets for dogs and cats, plus Nature's Gold ferret diet, Harrison's Bird Foods for our avian patients, and Oxbow hays for our rabbit, prairie dog and guinea pig patients.  If there is a diet you need but don't see on the shelf, please ask one of our receptionists if we can special order it for you.

Pets may be dropped off and picked up during regular business hours Monday through Saturday.  New boarding facilities are under construction!  Ask us about our new Pet Suites for dog boarding that will soon be available in the Canine Discovery Center!
