All boarding pets must be current on their distemper combo, rabies and bordetella(kennel cough)vaccines at least 1 week prior to their reservation.

Our surgical suite is a specialized facility used only for surgeries with its own temperature control system, separate ventilation,sophisticated lighting and monitoring systems, including an ECG (electrocardiograph) and pulse oximeter. Our latest advancement in surgical technique is our laser system. Please ask our staff about the benefits of laser procedures.

Digital Radiology
X-rays and ultrasonography are important diagnostic tools used by our veterinarians to detect certain problems and diseases such as hip dysplasia, bladder stones and foreign objects. Our skilled and qualified staff perform and process our own in-house digital x-rays, assuring the quickest diagnosis possible.

A complete dental program is essential to your pet's health and well-being. Tartar buildup, tooth decay and gingivitis are conditions which may be associated and/or lead to heart, liver and kidney failure. We offer dental x-rays and other special equipment necessary for routine cleanings, extractions, and periodontal work that can help prolong the life of your pet. We also offer a full line of pet dental care products for routine home preventative care.

Clinical Pathology
Our Certified Veterinary Technicians (CVT) are trained to perform laboratory tests which aid in the diagnosis of medical and surgical problems. Heartworm tests, urinalysis, cultures, blood tests and fecal analysis are just a few examples of the many tests we offer.

CardioPet
Cardiopet is a service that allows us to send a recording of your pet's heartbeat over the phone to a Veterinary Cardiologist who can evaluate it and consult with us about diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of any abnormalities present.

Grooming
Regular grooming is essential for the health of your pet, both inside and out. A clean, well-groomed pet makes for a happier companion and shows how much they are loved. If too much time passes between grooms, visits can become uncomfortable and unpleasant. By not grooming regularly, your pet could encounter matting (mild to severe), skin problems, fleas, ticks and sore inflamed eyes from normal drainage adhering under them causing infection. Feet can become sore and irritated from walking on nails and pads that have been neglected. Ear care is also a vital part of regular grooming; clean ears are healthy ears. Having your pet groomed regularly is an excellent way you can give your pet the pampering they deserve.

Boutique
Our boutique includes all sorts of unique items such as pet toothbrushes, collars and Gentle leaders, leashes, chews, pet vitamins and more. We also offer a full line of Hill's Science Diet, Prescription Diet and maintenance foods.

Microchip Identification
Microchipping is very popular and does not require surgery. If a microchipped pet becomes lost, the microchip reveals necessary information to the humane society, canine patrol or another animal hospital and can quickly reunite a lost pet with it's owner. Talk to one of our staff members for more benefits of microchipping.
