Services

Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of annual and semi-annual physical examinations based on age. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. We offer a wide range of veterinary services to keep your companions feeling their best:

    * Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services:  Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.

    * Surgical Services:  Our state-of-the-art surgical suite provides for the performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures.  We bring a board certified surgeon into our practice when needed to perform procedures that require a specialist.

    * Anesthesia:  We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide that extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high risk patients. Using the most modern equipment, the patient's vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.

    * Radiology Services:  Our on-site, digital X-ray equipment provides high quality radiographs to aid in the diagnosis of many disorders.  We also have an ultrasound available for advanced imaging of the internal organs.

    * Electrocardiography Services:  We provide ECG services on-site as well as consultations with cardiology specialists.

    * Laboratory:  Our in-house laboratory facilities provide for serum chemistry, hematology, serology, urinalysis and parasite testing. We also utilize commercial veterinary laboratories for specialized diagnostics and consultations.
