• Vaccination
  Vaccines protect our pets from serious contagious and life-threatening diseases. There are 2 core vaccinations we recommend for all dogs and cats, Canine Rabies, and DA2PP (Canine Distemper), and Feline Rabies, and FVRCP (Feline Distemper). After the puppy/kitten series has been completed, these vaccinations will need to be boostered once after the first year of vaccination and then after that boostered every three years, with the exception of the Feline Rabies that has to be boostered annually. There are also non-core vaccinations which need to be given annually including...
• Nutritional Counseling

• Comprehensive Examination
  Wellness exams are one of the most important things you can do to keep your pet healthy. Illness or disease may be present before you are aware of symptoms. Because our pets age so much faster than we do, regular wellness exams are one of the best ways that you can help your pet live a long, healthy life. We recommend wellness examinations every 6 months.

Illness Treatment

• Behavioral Disorder Treatment
• Pain Management
  Understanding pain is an important part of pain management. There are two different types of pain in pets - acute pain and chronic pain.
• Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
  Inflammatory conditions such as lick granulomas, hot spots, otitis, periodontitis, idiopathic cystitis, or sinusitis Laser Therapy has been in use for more than 25 years and its effectiveness has been validated in more than 3,000 scientific publications. We have also had very positive response from clients who have seen the immediate and lasting effects on their pets, as well as staff members seeing the benefits on patients and on their own personal pets. One of the biggest benefits to using laser therapy as a treatment option is that there are no side effects when used acutely or chronically, which is not always the case with some of the oral medications we use to help treat pain. Unfortunately Laser Therapy cannot be used in every patient we see, due to the fact that it is not recommended in patients with cancer. Treatment options with laser therapy can vary from one session on a surgical incision to several sessions to help heal a more severe issue such as burn or orthopedic problem. We also have patients who after receiving a series of laser treatments for a chronic issue, go on to maintain the benefits with once monthly treatments. We offer different price packages to suit the varying needs of the issue being treated. Please ask a Doctor or technician for more information on what treatment options would be recommended for your pet’s needs. Also ask about our Surgical Laser available for your pet!

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Hip Dysplasia Treatment
• Heart Disease Treatment
  A pre-anesthetic work up is tailored to your individual pet. All patients require an electrocardiogram (EKG) and blood work prior to anesthesia. Ideally labwork should be completed 1-2 weeks ahead of your procedure (but we will accept labs up to 4 weeks out). The EKG will be preformed the morning of your procedure.
• Periodontal Disease Treatment

Emergency Care

• Wound and Fracture Care
  Lasers are a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery. Lasers replace scalpels in many procedures and are useful for a wide range of conditions. Lasers can also be used for therapeutic reasons also including reducing inflammation for skin issues, post surgery healing, wound care, etc.

Surgery

• Dental Surgery
  Surgical lasers have become a very important part of veterinary medicine. The surgical laser can be used for a variety of different procedures, including: spay, neuter, tumor removal, dental surgery, and much more. The surgical laser works by generating an intense beam of light. This beam of light actually replaces the traditional scalpel blade. Laser energy instantly vaporizes the water found in tissues allowing it to "cut" or essentially remove extremely small area's of tissue. The energy seals nerve endings and blood vessels as it moves through the tissue resulting in less bleeding, less pain, and virtually no trauma to surrounding tissue.

• Spaying and Neutering
  Spaying is the term used to describe an ovariohysterectomy (surgical removal of an animal's ovaries and uterus). Neutering is the term used to describe the castration of an animal (removing the testicles). There are a variety of benefits to spaying or neutering your pet. It is generally recommended to spay or neuter your pet around 6 months if age. Although the surgery can be done later, it is much more costly in pets over one year of age. The spaying and neutering of pets not only helps control the pet population, but also helps your pet live a longer & healthier life.

Lab and X-Rays

• Laboratory Services
  MLS therapy is a new therapy for treating pain, inflammation and to assist wound healing. MLS therapy works by using both continuous laser emissions and pulse laser emissions. These emissions act fast on inflammation, stimulating blood and lymphatic circulation and inducing fast re-absorption of fluid build ups; and by interfering with the transmission of the pain impulse to the higher brain centers, therefore inducing analgesia and reducing pain. Depending on your pets condition, most treatments take 3-8 minutes. Once a diagnosis has been established your pet will not require any blood tests, restraint, sedation or anesthesia, to take part in a treatment. To ensure that this experience is pleasant and comforting for your pet we offer clients to be present during each treatment.
