- Comprehensive ExaminationPerhaps you have been told that your pet is due for senior bloodwork and semi-annual exams. Many pet owners are surprised that pets start being classified as seniors at age 7, and also that we recommend more frequent exams and bloodwork.
- Parasites Treatment and ControlWe maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, shampoos, flea and tick control products and heartworm preventatives to meet the needs of your pet. We also carry a full line of prescription diets. We also offer online ordering and delivery of medication and prescription diets.
- Pain ManagementWe firmly believe that we need to protect our patients from being in pain. Anything that causes pain in people can be expected to cause pain in animals. Pets may not show the same symptoms of pain as people do; they usually don't whine or cry, but you can be sure they feel it. Pain medications needed will depend on the surgery performed. Major procedures require more pain relief than things like minor lacerations.

- Leptospirosis TreatmentKidney disease in dogs can be very serious quickly. Often it results from a toxin ingestion (ibuprofen, antifreeze) or from an infection (Leptospirosis).

Untreated diabetes can lead to many systemic problems as glucose (in the appropriate amounts) is needed by every body system, especially the brain. Diabetes is easily diagnosed with simple laboratory tests. Many cats can be "cured" of diabetes with a high protein, low carbohydrate diet if detected early.

We offer the following preventative care treatments...
- Kidney Disease TreatmentMost older cats have kidney disease. As pets age, larger parts of the kidneys can become non-functional. End stage kidney disease is unfortunately where the first diagnosis often happens. By checking kidney function at an early age and monitoring kidney values regularly, we can diagnose kidney disease while we can control it.
