    Radiology – or X-rays – help our veterinarians evaluate muscular-skeletal, cardiovascular(cardiopulmonary), gastrointestinal, reproductive and urinary systems.  With our in-house equipment to take and process the films, we can have answers in minutes.

  • ULTRASOUND

    This non-invasive, state-of-the-art technology uses sound waves to painlessly examine specific internal organs, primarily the heart and abdominal organs. We utilize a board-certified radiologist to ultrasound your pet and help with diagnosing disease.  She is always at the hospital alternate Tuesdays, or can be called in on an emergency basis.

  • DENTAL CARE

    Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet's teeth. We use modern and safe ultrasound to clean each tooth thoroughly - above and below the gum line. Dental technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup. Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity.

  • BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE

    Illness doesn't always have a physical cause. Our doctors deal with  such disorders as separation anxiety and obsessive behavior, and then develop a treatment regimen for the client and pet.  We can also refer you to a board certified behavioral veterinarian after medical causes of your pets problem have been ruled out.

  • BIRDS, REPTILES, RABBITS AND SMALL MAMMALS

    Veterinary medicine for exotic pets is growing as the popularity of these animals increase. With better public education in health, nutritional and environmental management, all species have a greater chance for living longer and healthier lives. We employ  veterinarians who possess experience in the care and treatments of exotics such as rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, rodents, and small pet birds.  Call to find out if we  can help your exotic.

    Pets are like our children – we feed, nurture and lavish attention on them. Our highly qualified kennel attendants do the same when you can't be there. We provide tender loving care (such as brushing and cuddling), and supervised outdoor playtime  in a 5,000 sq foot secure play area to keep them happy and active.  Our indoor runs and kennels are newly remodeled.  We can give medications and special diets as requested.  A doctor will supervise any boarder needing special medical care such as diabetics.  Come take a tour!

If scratching is a problem, our medicated baths contain soothing agents that help with the itching. Services also can include nail trims, anal gland expression and ear cleaning.  We have two groomers who can make your pet look like new.  And for those uncooperative pets, doctors can supervise anesthetic groomings.
