Diagnostics

With our in house lab analysis machine, our hospital is capable of performing many of the diagnostic tests that previously needed to be sent to an outside lab. This means that in many cases we are able to identify your pet's problem and initiate treatment immediately instead of waiting for lab results. Biopsy specimens and more indepth testing are done through our contract with the highest quality outside lab. The use of our x-ray machine and automatic processor can give you diagnostic quality pictures in less than 15 minutes. We also have tonometry for the diagnosis of glaucoma and an EKG for detection of heart arrhythmias.

Surgery
From routine spay/neuter to complicated orthopedic surgery, our hospital can provide your pet with the highest quality surgical care. Pre-surgical lab screening is available on site to assure underlying factors which may affect anesthesia are identified and addressed. During surgery, monitoring of your pet's temperature, pulse, respiration and oxygen saturation are performed to ensure a safe and effective anesthetic episode. Post operative pain management medications are available to minimize any discomfort your pet may experience.

Dental Services
Your pet's dental health is of extreme importance. Studies have shown that dental tartar and periodontal disease are leading contributors to heart, liver and kidney disease. Our dental cleanings are performed with an ultrasonic sclaler to remove existing tartar. This procedure is then followed by a professional polishing, which decreases the rate at which future tartar develops on the teeth.

Grooming
We offer grooming services for your cat or dog by professionally trained groomers. Our groomers can trim your pets to meet the breed standard or customize the groom to your specifications. Grooming services are offered Monday - Friday. We also offer routine bathing, flea treatments, nail trims and ear cleaning.

Boarding
We offer veterinary supervised boarding for both dogs and cats. Should your pet require medication, you can feel comfortable knowing that veterinarians and trained veterinary assistants will administer their medications as prescribed. In an effort to ensure your pets comfort and care, our boarding is limited, please call in advance to make your appointment.
