General Medicine and Services Wellness Exams - We recommend and provide comprehensive annual examinations that will evaluate the overall health of your pet. Regular physical examinations can detect problems in their early stages, before they become serious illnesses requiring prolonged treatment. Preventative medicine is the easiest, least expensive and surest way to keep your pet healthy. Early detection ensures prompt action that may solve the problem before serious consequences occur. Custom Vaccine Schedules - Immunizations are a crucial part of your pet's health care. Some immunizations are recommended yearly while others are given every three years. Usually administered during an annual exam, we work with you to develop an individual vaccine protocol that best suits your pet's needs. The Canine Influenza vaccine is now available for dogs. Wellness & Diagnostic Labwork - Our in-house lab is capable of analyzing a wide range of wellness and diagnostic blood and urine profiles so we are able to provide you with results in a timely manner. When you bring your pet in for an anesthetic procedure (neutering or spaying, dental cleaning, etc.), we recommend checking their internal organ function to ensure your pet is stable and healthy enough for the procedure. Laser Therapy - This treatment is a beneficial for pets who have chronic pain, arthritis, back injuries, inflamation, wounds, or sprains & strains. The laser increases bloodflow to the affected area and thereby reduces pain and speeds healing. Dentistry - Clean teeth and healthy gums are essential to your pet's health. Infections are more common in the mouth because they can go undetected for long periods of time. Our veterinary staff regularly performs oral exams, cleanings and periodontal care as part of our comprehensive health care goals. We recommend yearly dental cleanings for most patients while some smaller breed dogs will require a cleaning every six months. Microchip Identification - This unique form of identification is an easy, yet permanent way to bring your pet home quickly should he / she become lost. The microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size and shape of a grain of rice. It is implanted beneath your pet's skin between the shoulder blades, and stays there for his / her entire life. This procedure is as easy and painless as a vaccination. Each microchip has a unique number. This number, along with information about the owner and pet, are added to a national pet registry. Most veterinary hospitals and animal shelters have electronic scanners for detecting and reading these implanted microchips. If a lost pet is found and a microchip is scanned it is easy for you to be contacted. Nutritional Counseling - Proper diet is an important part of your pet's health. Should your pet need a new diet due to health concerns or you are just looking for a healthy alternative to your current brand, we offer individual consultations and nutritional plans to help keep your pet healthy.

Let our staff help you determine what is appropriate behavior and what you can do to change inappropriate behavior.
