We've Got You Covered

Dogs and cats age faster than humans, leading to significant health changes over a shorter time period. For puppies and kittens, it is recommended to have regular veterinary visits every 3-4 weeks until they are about 6 months old. In their adult years, dogs and cats should have annual check-ups. Once pets reach 7-9 years of age, it's advisable to increase the frequency of vet visits based on their specific health needs.

There are many routine annual tests that can be done to evaluate your pet’s health. We recommend conducting blood and fecal tests for most pets, as these diagnostics can help detect health concerns like heart disease or parasites early.

Our experienced veterinarians perform many types of surgeries for animals, ranging from minor procedures to more intensive surgeries. With all surgeries, our focus is on safety and pain management during recovery to ensure your pet is as comfortable and pain free as possible. Our team will be in contact with you throughout the procedure to provide updates about how your pet is doing pre- and post-operative. 
 
Anytime your pet is under anesthesia at our facility, they will have one doctor and at least one highly trained technician monitoring them at all times. We carefully monitor your pet’s blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, heart rhythm, respiratory rate, oxygenation levels, and carbon dioxide levels throughout every surgery. Pre-operative blood work, IV catheters and IV fluids also improve safety during surgery, sedation, and anesthesia.

Regular dental cleanings can help halt, and in some cases reverse, the progression of tooth and gum disease in pets. Severe dental disease results in pain, discomfort, and could require extraction of some or all of your pet’s teeth. Most pets will still eat normally even with severe mouth pain, so it’s sometimes hard to know without a thorough dental evaluation — which can often be done during cleanings.

The right vet care when you need it most.
