Services
Dog Health Care
Our dog health care services include vaccinations, preventive treatments, and diagnostic testing to ensure your dog's long-term wellness. We offer protection against diseases like distemper, rabies, and Lyme disease through tailored vaccination programs. Our team provides fecal tests, heartworm screening, and comprehensive physical exams to detect and address health issues early.
Cat Health Care
We specialize in feline health care with vaccinations for distemper, rabies, and feline leukemia, along with preventive screenings. Our fecal tests identify parasites, while FeLV/FIV testing ensures early detection of immune system threats. Our veterinarians provide personalized care plans for kittens, adult cats, and senior felines to maintain optimal health.
Spay and Neutering
Spay and neutering services prevent unwanted litters and improve pet health. Spaying reduces mammary tumor risks and eliminates uterine infections, while neutering prevents testicular cancer and prostate issues. We recommend these procedures at 5-6 months of age to ensure long-term health benefits and behavioral stability.
Flea and Tick Control
Our flea and tick control programs protect pets from infestations and disease transmission. We offer Program for oral flea control and Frontline for topical protection against ticks and fleas. These treatments prevent Lyme disease, flea allergy dermatitis, and environmental infestations while ensuring pet and household safety.
Dental Care
Dental care services address periodontal disease, tooth decay, and gum infections in pets. We provide professional cleanings, oral exams, and preventive strategies like enzymatic toothpaste and chew toys. Our focus on dental health prevents systemic infections that can affect vital organs like the heart and kidneys.
